Beijing Radio Green Bicycle Games 2008

As posted the Beijing Radio is organizing a GREEN event to promote bicycling in China versus other transportation methods. In order to be selected to join this big event it is required to participate in some bike related games. At least that was I was told before the games.

So yes I did participate in the fun games today even though they were not all related to bikes. We had to do track stands on cheap small wheeled bicycles, had to carry as many boxes of milk while running backwards over a small balance beam, had to ride cheap small wheeled bicycles slalom around 3 boxes of milk, had to blow as many small balloons as possible and answer questions related to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

And in between there were Chinese singers to make the crowd coming out of the shopping mall happy.

You can have a look at more pictures if you click here. They had asked if I can do some tricks on my bike so I did that at the end as well. Click here for more pictures of this event.

At least I won the Games. That brings me closer to the goal of being chosen to ride from one of China Olympic Games’ cities to Beijing as a sign to promote bicycling in China.

Ben (the other half of the Beijing Fixed Gear Group) had come to watch my tricks at the bike games. I then took some pictures of him skidding.

And actually the whole day was quite booked out: A speech training in the morning - participating in the bike games - doing some tricks for the audience at the bike games - riding fixed gear with Ben in the streets and on some urban slopes (but I forgot my camera) - missing out the photo exhibition of a friend of mine in the art district - Chinese barbecue (羊肉串) party in the traditional courtyard of the Hutong School - another Chinese barbecue (羊肉串) party with the Beijing Linux User Group (BLUG).

Here are two beautiful picture Ben took while I was practicing wheelies (I forgot my camera…) while riding our fixed gear through the Central Business District:
