St. Louis date for Ditty Bops Bicycle Tour

St. Louis BicycleWORKS is reporting that the Ditty Bops have set a date for their St. Louis stop on their 2006 Bicycle Tour. The show is scheduled for Friday, July 28, at the Mad Art Gallery, 2727 S. 12th St. in the Soulard neighborhood St. Louis.

The Ditty Bops are riding their bikes across the country as part of the tour, and they're keeping a journal of their travels. They're putting in some serious miles, and they just left Salt Lake City on Saturday. Amanda and Abby are filling us in with interesting tidbits about the sights they've seen and the food they've eaten along the road. From time to time, they draw comic strips of their adventures, appropriately called "Rumble Strips."

It will be interesting to see where they'll eat in the Midwest, given their tastes lean toward vegetarian/vegan fare.

Their bassist Ian (who sadly will not be making it to St. Louis) is also keeping a blog on his travels:

As cool as teh Bops' blog is, Ian's is filled with all sorts of geeky cycling tidbits from grades of climbs to his highest record speed. Plus he's riding a pretty cool "vintage" bike.
