Bike Race for Comedy @ The Ferry
The lads over at Street Prov! have planned another outdoor comedy event and everyone is welcome to join.
Here’s what is in store:
‘We will be putting on a surprise bike race for all the lucky people riding the free ferry between Amsterdam Centraal Station and Amsterdam North. For those who take this somewhat monotonous one minute ride everyday, this will definitely liven things up a bit.
All the ferry passengers on bikes who are about to board will quickly find that they are participants in a race. There will be a “Start” banner, a starting line ribbon, and cheering fans on the sides encouraging the racers. The first half of the race will be a grueling 10 meter marathon, until they reach the ferry which is the mid-way point.
The ride across the IJ river will be a much needed opportunity for our race participants to rest. When on the ferry, Streetprov’rs will take the role of coaches and assistants. We’ll help all the bike racers with everything they need to get them through the rest of the race – rehydration, power bars, bike repairs, words of encouragement – everything! When the ferry docks one minute later, the second half of the race begins. After another exhausting 10 meter ride, the racers will pass through the finish line. There will be even more cheering fans, congratulatory signs, a winners podium and a giant trophy!
Our own little piece of the Tour de France right here in Amsterdam! This event will also bring more attention to Amsterdam North as it is a beautiful area with giant, sprawling park very close to the disembarking point of the ferry. Not many people take advantage of this urban oasis so Partisan Publik wants to spread the word about it and this is a great event to encourage that!
Please come out and join us for this really fun production!’
