Bicycle Day

On April 19th, 1943, Albert Hofmann revolutionized the human experience. He intentionally ingested LSD-25 and rode his bicycle home from his laboratory during wartime restriction on automobile travel - an event that was just the beginning of a worldwide reawakening to the exploration of mind-altering substances previously only explored by indigenous and shamanic cultures.

In the last few years, Psychedelic Culture has flourished. Its core message of embodying good to create something positive resonates strongly with its growing international community and strives to guide humanity toward understanding and harmony while rejecting opposing forces such as militarism and ecological decline. This awakening of unity is a defining trait of the psychedelic experience that continues to spread far and wide.

Bicycle Day SF seeks to pay homage to the Good Doctor and those who followed in his footsteps while exploring new technologies that will spark entertainment, motivation, and conscious progression. The festival intends to invigorate this signal, broadcasting its vibration far beyond the Bay Area boundaries.

Dubbed the 'family of light,' those who understand Psychedelic Culture get it - that a collective effort for good is an essential element in the psychedelic experience. This journey brings with it a feeling of unity, positive energy, and insightfulness. The festival takes this notion to heart and, as always, commemorates Dr. Albert Hofmann's fateful bicycle ride, which revolutionized the world!
