Last night was our 2nd annual "20 Inch" night at the Pub Pedal. We had a great turn out of 20" and smaller bikes. A few were the riders childhood bikes, some pulled out from collections and others borrowed from friends and neighbors. Several times I heard "these bikes are fun to ride!". I have to agree. I estimate there were close to 30 20" or smaller bikes over the evening.
We even had the surprise of a special guest when Jon from KC was waiting for us at the Shamrock. A veteran of many bike events including multiple Tour De Fats, Jon can now add Wichita's Thursday Night Pub Pedal to the list.
As for the "cheezy commemorative spoke cards"... well ummm... they lived up to the cheezy part. Few were handed out and even fewer stayed in the spokes so if you still had one when you got home you better hang on to it as some day it will be really collectible. View the photos here.
It rained all day but cleared up just in time for the first 20 Inch Night. There was a small turnout due I suppose to the bad weather. There were a handful of 20 inch or smaller bikes. We hit the usual first 2 stops then went over to the Go-Away for a sneak preview of the show. Thanks to those who brought there small bikes and provided small bikes for others.
We've designated Thursday, June 28th as "20 Inch Nite" at the Pub Pedal.
Ride that vintage muscle bike, old school bmx, lowrider or your kids bike. Any bike with smaller wheels will do. If you don't have a 20 inch bike I guess you'll be looking down on those that do.

llenberger who was one of three brothers who owned the Schollenberger & Co. bicycle repair shop located at 230 N Main in
Wichita. The brothers closed the [...]
