Lights, camera, cue music, ride. On July 18 at the Centre A Gallery in Vancouver, BC, momentum magazine proudly presented the Bikeosphere Art and Fashion Show. Bikeosphere, conceived by publisher Amy Walker, intends to capture the world through the eyes of people who ride bikes. A symbiosis of urban sustainability, cycling culture, and style, the Bikeosphere is a diverse, sexy, and practical world that grows the more we inhabit it. The Friday evening gala featured works by artists from across North America, and was highlighted by a fashion show, featuring designers who create stylish, fashionable, and most importantly, bike-able clothing. momentum’s version of the catwalk – the bike lane – was ridden in style. The models (who are real bike riders), Michelle, Jackie, Jesse, James and Susan showed us that bike-able clothing can look great. We at momentum are thrilled with the success of the show – and are already excited to do it again next year. We are also taking offers to take Bikeosphere 2 on the road.
