Bike Fun Melbourne presents...

*** 2009 Bike Fun ***
Check back at http://bikefun.org/calendar.html for latest updates

******************************************************
Bike in Movies - Friday 23rd of January
******************************************************
Departing 8pm from the Rose Hotel, 406 Napier St Fitzroy (cnr
Leicester St) Fitzroy. We'll have a pleasant ride up beside the Merri
Creek to Newlands Rd Of course actual movie choices won't be known
till the prior Thursday but there are three screens so there should be
something on we all will like (or tolerate). If you can, bring a chair
or something soft to sit on as only one screen has a grassed forecourt
and the film we want may not be showing on that screen. As always
bring snacks to share and beverages of your choice. Keep checking the
Bikefun Calendar for updates.

******************************************************
Presenting a special series of Bike Polo, "Summer Sessions 2009".
******************************************************
Summer sessions will be held at 2pm every Saturday over the next 7 weeks.
Featuring
• A juicy and spacious fully enclosed court with continuous playable
edges.
• Opportunities for beginners to get involved at a comfortable pace.
• A fun and positive environment for everyone.
• Challenging games for experienced players.
• All-in Footdown every week at 3pm.
Mark these Saturday Summer Sessions in your diary!
January 17th, 24th & 31st.
February, 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th
We ask you to respect that we play on a school basketball court in a
residential area. Please keep this in mind while playing or spectating.

We've produced some flyers and posters which can be downloaded and
printed from www.bikepolo.com.au. We'd love it if you could pass
these onto others who may be interested in trying bike polo.

******************************************************
Critical Mass - Friday 30th of January and Last Friday every month.
******************************************************
5:30PM - State Library. The motorists will all be back from holidays,
so it's time to reclaim a small slice of Melbourne's public open space
for humanity, for a brief interval.
Come and enjoy the party on (2) wheels. organiser: you

Dates TBA (hot weather required) - Join the bicycle beach party as we
ride to
the sea for a swim and fish 'n' chips on a hot summer night. But because we
don't know the weather in advance, we can't set the date. So you need to email
your mobile phone number to beachriders@... or SMS "Beach" to
0439 88 00 93. Then when a hot night (over 25 degrees) is forecast in
the next few days, you will be sent an SMS giving the time (evening) &
