The first bike concert in Poland during the WBF
This will be an extraordinary event. During Wroclaw Biker Festival, a music project will be inaugurated, REBEL BABEL ENSEMBLE, in the form of a 8-kilometre Concerto of Five Brass Bands. Rebel Babel Ensemble is an international brass band orchestra that combines traditional wind instruments with rap, funk and film music, by organizing meetings and performances across boundaries and languages. It is also an attempt to create the biggest Big Band in Europe in order to restore the past glory of voluntary orchestras and to give them contemporary, pop culture faces. This remarkable attraction will bethe highlight of this year's Grand Peloton, which will cruise the streets of Wroclaw, as every year.
Great peloton, picnic and yoga
The great cycling peloton will start at 12 a.m. sharp from pl. Nowy Targ. Before noon, the organizers welcome for a morning yoga in Tołpa Park. Anyone willing will be able to wake their bodies before the Grand Peloton with instructor Darek Wojteczka. The yoga class in the park starts at 10.15 am.
This year, organizers of the WBF have not forgotten about the citizens living away from the centre of Wroclaw. Specially prepared for them is the so called Star Rally, or group access for the participants of the WBF from remote locations to a central collection point. The rally aims to facilitate access to the centre for people who live outside of Wroclaw city, as well as for people who value the company of other bikers! Here, organizers modelled on the Berlin Sternfaht and on the traditional rally of Szczecin. This year the route of the Rally will lead from Brochów, Leśnica, Psie Pole and Krzyki.
You can check the individual routes of the Rally on the map, and the route of this year's Great Peloton.
Great Peloton will set off at 12 am sharp from pl. Nowy Targ and will cover about 8 kilometres. It will finish in Tołpa Park, where the Bajk Picnic will be waiting for all, during which plenty of attractions and competitions will await Wroclaw cyclists. The prizes are four bikes, plenty of bicycle accessories, including saddlebags, buckles or bells. A rich offer is addressed to children: bicycle racing, art corner, playing with Klanza, face painting and more. Adults will have the opportunity to try their hand at riding a fatbike, race in Goldsprints, use a cycling juicer, take part in bikefitting workshops, choose the appropriate method of carrying their children, or pets, or use the free services of Dr. Bike.
Details of the event are available on Wroclaw Biker Festival website.
