Bike culture is an important part of cycling and regaining the streets. Love Your Bike Portsmouth aims to encourage participants to fully embrace the possibilities of connecting with their bikes and explore the many ways that they can improve it’s appearance and design.
As part of a day event and showcase you will be offered the chance to ‘Customise Your Bike and in turn ‘Love Your Bike’.
Demonstrations will be staged by local and national artists and designers who will offer sessions in customisation and collaboration. International designer Ben Wilson will be welding bikes at the skatepark and also showcasing some of his work. There will be a wide selection of bikes and accessories available for purchase to suit all budgets. Local artists and designers will be involved with helping paint frames and customise bike parts. Does your bike need a make-over?
Free cyclist bags will be given out at the event filled with spoke cards (featuring work by 20 artists across the city), stickers and a specially designed newspaper by I Love Dust which features 50 cyclists and their stories from around the city.
Watch out for our Love Your Bike custom tags around the city. If you have been tagged then please send your pics to us and also turn up at the event to showcase your bike or have it customised. Debenhams, Southsea and Bellamy’s Antiques in Albert Road have both been given a ‘Love Your Bike’ make-over so make sure you check them out.
