The parade is Saturday at 5:30pm!!

Float building, bike decorating, drunk getting, Pat on the ass smackening, etc starts at 2:30pm at 333 Midland Place (corner of Midland Ave and Winchester Rd).

We line up on Midland Ave around 5, the parade goes down Main to Lime. That's only half a mile, so there's no bike so ridiculous you can't ride it.

Here's brother politicalhero's nice map again:


Be there or be somewhere else by your loser ass lonesome!

Logan, can I borrow your tiny bike, the one with the 6 inch wheels? I'd like to see how many presents I can fit on that thing.

I seriously need to borrow a bike for the parade. or ride on the back of an extracycle or something. All 7 of my bikes are out of commission and i hate to miss out on this.

Wow, 7 bikes in such shape that you can't swap parts out to make something that is rideable for 1/2 a mile? You must be hard on those things Smile

We may not have had an inflatable dog suit, but we rocked the parade.

I had a great time, and thanks to everyone who came out!

about the same amount of people as last year, though... I really wish more people could've come out. The weather was about as good as it could get. I guess it was because it was the Holiday weekend and people still had stuff going on.

For the record, I was happy to let Jakub not only borrow the tiny bike, but I was going to give it to him if he'd ride it the length of the parade. He didn't take me up on the offer.

I think I rode that thing for about an hour before the parade, only then realizing how hard it would be to ride for another. One day Logan, one day!

You got me there Rowbear! Me and my damn cycling tattoos are not only taking over my arms but also my free time to build up some of my bikes! I really need to get my priorities in line.
