BIKE PARTY!

I was in San Jose last week and got to be part of their monthly bike party. Some strange things about bike party…

1. 1500 people, no joke this thing is huge
2. people stop at stop signs and red lights (mostly)
3. people in cars are nice to the party members
4. all ages (family, child, old, college, high school etc)
5. people love their cruisers/low riders/choppers/old shitty mountain bikes out there.
6. it is done at night
7. music is provided by several bike trailers, and a musical couch
8. BIKE PARTY!!!!
9. seriously…BIKE PARTY!!!!!

The nice thing about this, and I am not sure it would work here, is that everyone (cars/bikers/pedestrians) seem to be having a great time. No one was yelling, or screaming, and it was a nice experience. The critical mass in Boston should try doing it a couple hours later some month and see if there are less conflicts, they might be happy with the results.
