Strathearn cyclists continue to prove their worth during this June’s Community Bike Month Challenge. Great numbers team! If you need any help getting up for a ride check out this terrific single from the 2015 release Local Technique by Edmonton’s own Electricity for Everybody. Tourmalet a noisy, driving tune from one of the city’s best live bands. From their own description: “Tourmalet” celebrates the propulsive rush faced by high-mountain cyclists, compressing their gruelling task into four pop riddled minutes. The pounding rhythm and weaving guitars set a furious pace, driving until the tires pop. Electricity for Everybody have a couple new singles up on Bandcamp from an album slated for release later this year.

Seeing as how we’re in the midst of a heated Community Bike Challenge this June, Strathearn A.V. Club is soliciting suggestions for favourite books, films, and songs about/for cycling. Recommend a tune you use to pump yourself up for a marathon ride or an inspirational film that makes you want to cruise the streets on two wheels (Hot take - unicyclists are for circuses. Come at me bro.) If you’re interested send suggestions and a couple reasons why to avclub@strathearncl.org or leave them here in the comments.
