A good turnout for Itty Biity Bike Night as Meg called it. A lot of 20 inch wheeled bikes and smaller in a variety of styles including muscle bikes, ballooners, kustoms and folders. I don't recall seeing any BMX though.
After hanging at the Shamrock for a while we rode down to Club Billiards where Ralph treated us to a history lesson on the bar and Wichita's seedier side. From there we headed into Old Town stopping at the Farmers Market and the fountains. I believe the Brickyard followed these stops. I think Donna deserves some kind of award for riding the bike with the shortest crank arms for the longest distance.
Dangerous Dan does a better job of describing the evening than I could so I'm just going to quote him from RatRodBikes.com
It was a beautiful night with a great turn out of bikes, both tandem and otherwise. Its so cool to see all the tandems and out of the 20 tandems I counted I don't think there were any two that were the same bike. I counted 6 steer from the rear tandems, a few of them were factory built , a couple of home built from days long past and a very recent nicely built almost Colson look-a-like sfr. It was a fun time, we stopped at three drinking establishments and a upscale womens store that one of the gals that rides with us had recently opened, the last bar was an open air bar where it was bike night we rode our bikes into the bar and parked right along side the Harleys and other motorcycles, the loud bike people thought the bicycles were pretty cool.
The upscale Women's store is Lady Grace. Thanks Jodie for opening your doors for us.
This Thursday (12th) there is a group of people coming down from Salina to ride Wichita's famous Pub Pedal.
Let's make it worth their while and have a good turn-out and a great time.
Meet up at Larry's at 6:00pm or join the group at the Fish Market or Shamrock Lounge.
See you there!
Our 4th annual Christmas lights Cruise was another great evening of cruising and viewing Christmas lights. We rode to the Lights on St Paul, through Delano to Downtown and on to Oldtown with a few stops for beverages and to check out the Douglas sink hole along the way. Once again we had pretty decent weather with the temperature a little below freezing. Thanks to everyone for participating. Happy Holidays!
This evening I spotted 2 of the give-away bikes being ridden down the sidewalk. I knew they were the bikes because one w
as the boys and the other the girls and the girls still had streamers. Nice to know they are getting use.
I'm sure that's fine. They'll also need help loading bikes into trucks. I had forgot to post that they are also assembli
ng bikes on Sunday beginning at 1:00pm. I just updated the post.
