We always want our riders to ride legally and share the road… but our focus this month is partying at the red lights. To do that we need a lot more music! More music trailers, backpacks, handlebars, racks, water bottle holders… everywhere!
What do we mean by “Party @ the Red Lights?”
- Stop for reds – behind other cars!
- Shout out for other to stop also
- Make sure you don’t block right turn lanes etc
- Enjoy the music or make up your own songs
- When the light turns green, go!
Please post where you got a great deal on a music system or how you made your own using new and/or reused speakers, etc., where you got your Li-Ion batteries, etc. The more we can party at the red lights, the fewer the red light runners we may see. Thanks for your assistance!
How We Ride!
If you follow these eight rules, Bike Party will be safe and a positive place for riders, drivers, pedestrians, and the community
1. Stay in the right lane when possible. NEVER ride the sidewalk. NEVER ride against oncoming traffic.
2. Pick up your trash, leave nothing behind.
3. Stop at red lights … cuz the party’s at the red lights!
4. Ride straight, ride predictability.
5. Roll past conflict.
6. Leave no one behind.
7. Ride sober! It’s illegal and dangerous to ride a bicycle inebriated.
8. Communicate to fellow riders! (We need your help to remind those who aren’t following the rules!)

Not gonna lie; if you’re going to rip off Bike Party, at least have the sense to do it on a different Friday, since SJBP only rides once a month.
Kudos on apparently having a more beer-friendly ride; I’d give you more props for sucking up the DB’s from our membership, but unfortunately the residents will probably associate any negative opinions about one bike group with another, so this paragraph is sarcastic.

roberts got a point. fixie friday should be on a totally different date. probly isnt even coordinated as well as SJBP.

fixiefriday may be cool and all, and its good to have some options ‘ but instead of…. coming on here pinching SJBP riders “specifically for their friday ride”
do it during the interim. Don’t hate C-O-L-L-A-B-O-R-A-T-E

My only issue with bike party, is that they do not post were the hell they are going to have the ride that easy.
I think this ride is the hardest, I have been looking for the last 1/2 hour, and can not find a map.
So I hope you can tell me, before I miss this bike party on Friday?
Thanks James
