Today, Mohrgan and I loaded up the couchbike with the yellow hulabike and one of the Mini125’s and headed for the Button Factory in uptown Waterloo. We were asked to speak to the kids at the summer art camp about reusing materials and the creative process involved in building bikes. The kids got a chance to try some of the bikes out in the back alley. A good time was had by all.

Tonight, Mohrgan and I rode the couchbike out to Waterloo Park for the Outdoor Music and Movie Night. We ran into Andy from the cycling club while we were there.

The evening started with a performance by the Water Street Blues Band and was followed at dusk with a screening of The Blues Brothers movie. As the movie started playing, the bugs started to come out in droves. We tried covering ourselves in the tarp we’d brought for rain protection, but found it was no use against the swarms of mosquitos. Eventually, we decided to pack it in. As soon as we were back on the road, the bugs left us alone.
