Our free and inclusive Public Art Ride this coming Monday, October 17th, hosted by Adam Mickiewicz Library & Dramatic Circle aka Mickie's (612 Fillmore Avenue, rolling at 6pm sharp), is presented in partnership with the Buffalo AKG Art Museum - formerly known as Albright-Knox Art Gallery - which has dramatically expanded its public art initiative around Buffalo in recent years, including right across from Mickie's and in many murals along our route. While our route will also feature public art including murals beyond those produced by AKG - look for Al Cohen's Bakery and Groove Lounge on Broadway for examples, as well as sculptures, neighborhood welcome signs and landscape architecture - we turn to Claudia Carballada, Buffalo AKG's Manager of Community Engagement, to learn more about their ever-expanding public art initiative. What's the story behind Otecki's Work and Play mural across from the host of our Public Art Ride, Adam Mickiewicz Library & Dramatic Circle? From Buffalo AKG's website feature: Wrocław, Poland–based artist Otecki (Wojciech Kołacz) has created an installation, Work and Play, that significantly adds to the cultural landscape of the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood, historically settled and established by many Polish families; today, Buffalo is home to the second largest Polish population in the United States.

This Saturday, September 24th, marks our third annual free and inclusive North Tonawanda Pedal Party, once again hosted by The Dockside Bar & Grill! Our 10-mile roundtrip ride will start and end at this historic building on the Erie Canal (153 Sweeney Street, rolling at 1pm), originally built in 1890 to store feed for the mules that pulled the barges along the towpath of the canal, now transformed into a casual waterfront dining destination near the Gateway Harbor. All are welcome to join our Buffalo bike train up to NT from MLK Park at 11:30am, as well as the weekly ride with our sibling East Side Bike Club every Saturday starting at 10am. After the East Side ride, we’ll ride up to the North Buffalo and Tonawanda Rails to Trails for easy rolling into NT, the gateway to Niagara County. While we welcome new riders and supporters to our NT Pedal Party this year with special thanks to Greater Niagara Federal Credit Union, we salute our friends who first led the charge to bring Slow Roll to the Lumber City – NT residents and Slow Roll squad members Colleen Kendzierski and Weegie Vasquez along with then city Alderman and now [...]
