Here is a snapshot of last week alleycat in Lille, a northern city in France, known for its annual street fair, its citadelle, its beers and its big population of students, no wonder there’s some good stuff going on!

WESAcat
For their first alleycat coming up in March 19 in Raleigh-NC, Triangle fixies and WESA (Wolfpack Environmental Student Association) did a killing job to promote it : a website, a sick promo video and some inspiring posters.
It’s very nice to see the bike movement spreading out, putting together a diverse and creative crowd.

Italian Alleycat “Garibaldina”
Very nice trailer of the alleycat to come in Bergamo on Sept. 25.
Source : Vimeo – by Pindaro
BTW, for the ones like me who wonder what “Garibaldina” means, well I am still searching for the exact meaning, so far it can be :
- a red shirt that General Garibaldi and his peers used to wear
- a follower of Garibaldi
- in tribute to the hero’s exploits, it is also an adjective meaning bold or audacious

Alors faites tomber la serviette de plage (et le maillot) et pointez vos ptites fesses pour une journée qui s’annonce riche en évènements à nous faire rougir. Plus d’info par ici.
