At MUSCYCLE, the PA is pedal powered by the audience, so the event is totally carbon neutral. Peddlers will be rewarded with bicycle related prizes from Velo Cycle, and from Jamis Bicycles, two exceptional peddlers will win a bike.
Not only that, the electricity required to the run St Ali North Cafe for the day will be offset by pedaling on bike generators housed at Melbourne Girls College. Everyone is welcome to help MUSCYCLE reach its offset target through the Facebook page. St Ali North is already equipped with a Gaia recycling system, which turns 100% of the food waste into fertilizer. www.facebook.com/muscycle

Register via Facebook and 10 peddlers drawn on the day to participate in this event. • 25 Watt Challenge: generate 25 watt hours in 30 minutes to win a prize • Ultimate Music Dynamo: generate the highest watt hours in 60 minutes to
