Participation was pretty good for the first ever Anti-Tweed Ride last night at the Pub Pedal. Tuxedo t-shirt, suits, gowns, dresses and fur. A variety of non tweed formal attire was worn. The men looked dashing and the women stunning. The wind made riding interesting especially for the women in dresses and may also have been the reason there wasn't a larger turn out. Someone looked up the weather and if I recall correctly the wind was 35-40mph with gusts up to 60mph!

The first ever Midwest Bicycle Swap was held today at the Hometown market in Haysville. A large turnout of both buyers and sellers. The swap area filled up early and bikes and parts continued to show up through out the day. Lots of stuff traded hands. Things wound down around 1:30pm at about the same time the wind became unbearable.
Thanks to Grillmaster Mitch for putting this on, Accent Mobile Music for providing the sound and The Central States Metal Artisans for opening the Blacksmith Shop.

From our host Grillmaster Mitch...

I just wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to ALL who participated and made this event a success!! The turnout validated to me that the Wichita area was in "need" of a bicycle swap meet. We will be back next year and with your participation, even bigger and better!

From the Wichita Eagle...

One sunny weekday last May, while people went about their midmorning business downtown, Keith rode off wearing his thong. He pedaled along for a few minutes until Thomasson pulled him over on Main just past City Hall.
