Please just don’t hit anyone on your way by! I’ve been passed plenty of times by speed dragons, flying by. Its cool.

I just don’t like when some guys split between 2 cyclists in a tight formation. That’s just rude and can get someone hurt. Plus it really freaks out newbies. Whom SJBP graciously welcomes!!

We rode to Sunnyvale’s bike bridge in May 2009, which was awesome. I don’t know if a ride farther north would be feasible. I’m in full support of starting a ride in the Mt. Vies, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale area!! I think that the Castro st station in Dtwn Mt. View would be a great place to meet up! Maybe roll through Castro parallel to El Camino Real, up to dtwn PA and to Stanford. Any takers?

you peed?

We had so much more people this time too it was awesome how many people come out and support BIKES! and love riding them. It was so much more than the first bike party i went to back in October of 2008 when it was like 250 now we have 1500 and its growing 50% everytime thats siick.

The thing i dont get is why people have to complain about other riders so much. How fast they go or what they do while riding. The thing that irks me is people dont like the fast riders. Personally i like going fast the big groups arent my thing thats how people crash and my bike cant cruise that slow its just my preference. I like speed im sorry to say haha.

Overall this ride was the best because i got to ride it with my new bike and the route was awesome especially the hill by alum rock that was fun climbing it and going down it i was going soooo fast it kinda made me pee a little.

I believe that formations and making people stay together is tough when you have 1500 cyclists. Its especially hard to keep them in a straight line in one lane and on the right side too. We just need to make sure that fights dont happen in between drivers and cyclists and cyclists and cyclists becuase we are all there to have fun and ride bikes not to act like were hot shit and better then other people.

One suggestion for next route is north we need a ride to mountain view/sunnyvale area those areas we have not yet to hit up mountain view is a different city but we have gone through los gatos and cupertino and campbell so i think north is a necessity to the next ride. Hope to see a lot more people come out and support us and support bicycle riding.

BIKE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a lot of sections people in my area were stoping for reds and when they did it made for nice distrete packets of cyclists lol and looked cool as well. It also forced people behind to stop for the lights.

So maybe it can be perceived as more of a parade with each section or group of cyclist led by a volunteer. This would also make sure that the route was easily followed.

just a thought.

I was wondering why there was a blockage on the right side of Bascom (bike lane/lane 3). I’m trying to narrow down the causes of the riders overflowing onto the 1st & 2nd lanes. I don’t want to piss drivers off and I do want to have a fun, safe time @ SJBP. Night riding in groups is one of my favorite past times!!

So I pose a few questions; to the speed demon racing riders, if you want to ride at the front of the pack and go fast, why don’t you leave 5 minutes before 9PM, when the ride usually rolls out and wait for the rest of us when we get to the next rally point?

Maybe the groups could line up in a parade formation in Dicks Center before we roll out to give a great photo opportunity, and we could sort of trickle onto the street.

I know these ideas seem kind of far out and as some of the Cop hating, authority confrontational riders would be offended that we’d try to corrall people. I’m just thinking it would be a good time to shoot pics and get a nice easy dispersal from our home lot.

One of my friends riding with me said “You have a good sense of how/when the crowd moves.” I guess he was referring to how I could tell when the group was ready to roll to the next spot.

Either way, rolling out in a long parade format going through Dicks would be fun. Maybe even get someone with a camera on top of the roof to shoot pics. What do you think?
