Many Thanks!


Many thanks to the volunteers who make this event what it is, year after year. Hauling around the bikes, storing and maintaining them is a lot of work! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!










This year, we especially want to thank Ann, who is new to the rally scene. Her creativity and contributions were awesome! Thanks Ann!

BTW, nice spare socks!

Bike Party

The annual 2008 Art Bike Rally was a success!! Over 50 riders and their excellent bikes made it to the rally. This year, we had the some old favorites and some new bikes as well. The classic grass bike with a new mohawk helmet was in full effect. Orgami bike was lovely as usual...
Because of a glitch in the PA system, the riders had to be extra creative this year. We made up some chants and talked to people along the way. Bike to work, Bike to work! Yada yada yada yada BIKE!

I believe this model is a newby to the rally. Love the sparkle and leather.

"The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart."
