Bike Hugger is bringing the party back to SXSW with 43% more bike culture. The Mobile Social is an intersection of bikes, technology, and culture. We ride, blog, party, and give away product.

Update: The DJs of the Sun, aka Sycons, are bringing their art, solar energy, and music to the Urban Ride ride and BBQ. Digital, analog, mobile, and powered by solar packs. They’ll mix music while we ride around Austin and party at the BBQ.

All,

If it rains, as it sometimes does in Austin, we'll gather and find the nearest coffee shop or bar. Granted, Austin cyclists don't ride in the rain like we do here in Seattle, but we'll still show. Also, the BBQ after the ride is in a giant tent, protected from the elements.

During the BBQ, we're giving away a Madsen, Gary Fisher Simple City, xTracycle FreeRadical and that's just the start. Linkage

Sign up here for the ride, gets you into the BBQ, if you don't have a badge. Without a SXSW or being on the ride list, you can't get into the BBQ.
