The 90s ride – May 18th

Written on May 15, 2012 at 1:18 PM, by

ROUTE NOT YET POSTED WAIT TILL THURSDAY NIGHT

May’s theme is the ’90s! Like any decade, a lot happened in the ’90s. Here are a few ideas for inspiration:

  • MC Hammer released U Can’t Touch This
  • Clinton was the US President for most of the decade
  • The dot-com craze was in full force
  • OJ Simpson led the police on a 50-mile low-speed chase before turning himself in.
  • The Simpsons first season aired on TV
  • Christopher Columbus discovers the New World (oh wait, that’s the 1490s. Still the ’90s, I suppose)

Need more ideas? Check out the Wikipedia entry about the 1990s.

As you can see theres a ton of stuff to chose from here.

Be safe, legal, and courteous (see How We Ride!). We share the road with other traffic. Helping cars move through smoothly makes the ride more enjoyable for everyone. Do your part to encourage good behavior! Also, please remember to turn down the volume when riding through residential areas late at night.

Special Event: Third Annual Bike the Limits – Saturday, May 12, 2012

Written on May 9, 2012 at 5:13 PM, by

San Jose Bike Party’s thrid annual Bike The Limits Ride is
Saturday, May 12th! Bike The Limits got its name from the first
ride’s routing, which rolled along the San Jose City Limits! For this
year’s route, we are going to do something completely different. The full
century (100 mile) route will circumnavigate the San Francisco Bay,
while the metric century (100km) route will loop around the South Bay
and cross the Dumbarton Bridge!

The full century ride is divided into two parts. The first leg will
proceed northbound on the east side of the Bay, and the second leg
will return on the Peninsula side of the Bay. You will need to take
BART across the bay between the two parts of the ride, as a bicycle
crossing is not yet available on the Bay Bridge. Please remember
to bring $2.90 for BART fare. Note that all four BART lines go
between the West Oakland and Embarcadero stations, so departures are
only a few minutes apart.

It will likely be a hot day, so please be prepared! Remember, this is
not a supported ride. We recommend that you find a buddy among the
many riders that will be starting out from City Hall in the morning.

Routes

The route maps include some bike shops and food locations, but are
by no means complete. Listings on the map should not be construed
as endorsements, and some of the locations have not been independently
verified (most of the locations were found from web searches).

Metric Century

Full Century

Start

@San Jose City Hall at 8:00am be early so you aren’t left behind…

This months theme is the 90′s

We aren’t sure that the picture is from the 90′s but it’s too good to ignore.

for theme ideas remember the following things occured in the 90′s

  • MC Hammer has a top song
  • The Fall of the Soviet Union
  • Beanie Babys are Popular
  • Tamagotchi virtual pets.
  • The Spice Girls Form and Breakup.

All in all it was a Crazy decade. Good luck coming up with a costume.
