Labor Day Weekend has to be one of the most anticipated days of the summer. You get the nice heat, the fountains are running, your neighbors are cooking the soy brats, and you get one final chance to say, “Summer is awesome!”

That’s why Portland Pedal Power is promoting one of the most summer-y things of all: Twist FroYo! This Labor Day Weekend, come enjoy some of the best Frozen Yogurt in town! We’ll be hanging out at two of the coolest events this weekend, handing out delicious samples of Twist FroYo and hanging with all the cool kids. Come be one of those cool kids!

We’ll be relaxing at Wallace Park enjoying the Portland Film Festival on August 30th (this Saturday) watching Ping Pong Summer and enjoying the good weather. What goes together better than Frozen Yogurt and a movie? Not much, I tell you.

We’ll also be chillin’ at Art in the Pearl, named one of the top 10 Arts and Crafts Festivals in the country. The event lasts all weekend, and fills the Northwest Portland Park blocks with art, theater, music, and hands-on activities for people of all ages.

Alright all you bicyclomaniacs and die hard cycle enthusiasts, we’re here to tell you about a kick in the pants from the fete of awesome that’s hitting Portland this Friday, April 13! Considering you live in Portland, the GREATEST bicycle city on the planet, you likely are already aware of the Filmed by Bike festival happening this weekend on Clinton St. If you weren’t aware of it, let your friends at Portland Pedal Power be your salvation from a gray existence devoid of this colorful euphoric event. For five days the Filmed by Bike festival is taking over the Clinton Street Theater for their 10^th Anniversary of bike-themed movie fanaticism from around the world featuring short films featuring speed demons, documentaries, creative flicks involving zombies and unicycles, a Beezee-tastic music video for the fixie lovin’ hipsters out there, and a whole lot more!

To set things off, we strongly encourage you to meet us at the Bike Gallery on SW 10th Ave this Friday the 13th for the pre-funk social at 4:00p.m. From this point we shall all Go With Gary, mountain bike legend Fisher, through Downtown Portland and across the river to kick off the Filmed by Bike festival at the New Belgium Street Party. There will be beer. There will be music. There will be movies. There should be YOU!
