This week on the KSVY Morning Show, I had the chance to sit down with Josh Pollack, producer of Bicycle Day SF, to talk about the culture, history, and evolving energy around this unique event happening April 18–19 at The Midway in San Francisco.
Bicycle Day marks the anniversary of Albert Hofmann’s now-legendary 1943 bicycle ride — the first intentional LSD experience — and over time it’s grown into something much larger: a global touchpoint for creativity, consciousness, and exploration.
Josh has been producing music and art events since 2006, and what struck me in our conversation is how intentional he is about creating not just events, but environments. Spaces where people can connect — to music, to ideas, and to each other.
Bicycle Day SF reflects that ethos. The event unfolds as a fully immersive evening experience, transforming The Midway into a multi-sensory landscape of sound, light, and movement. With artists like Liquid Stranger and Infected Mushroom on the bill, there’s a strong musical core — but it’s really about the total experience.
We also talked about the deeper cultural thread — how this moment in psychedelic history continues to evolve, and how important it is to honor the roots while creating something relevant for today.
It’s very much in the spirit of the Bay Area — experimental, open, and rooted in community.
