Sleepy Time

If you took my advice yesterday, then you should be following Declan's example below, today.

And yes, it is true, Declan can sleep through a parade.  Or a Bike Party.

Night Ride

It has been a while since James and I were out riding at night.  It just never happens anymore.

Thought I would take a picture to remember how much fun it is!

The 300

Ever wonder what 300 people on bicycles look like passing you at night?

Now you know.

Bike Party-You Should Come

Every first Friday of the month you get the chance to come be silly on your bicycle with a bunch of people that want to be silly right along with you!

Shoot The Tube

At our second party stop for Bike Party this month, I decided to try to shoot the kids running their BMX bikes up the climbing walls. This is what I got.

Sometimes Bike Party feels just like this looks. Next ride- May 6th!

Blurry San Francisco

A great deal of what San Francisco has to offer is in this picture.

The SF experience can leave you seeing like this sometimes, too.
