About Last Night

Well, another Zombie ride is now in the record books. I'm beginning to see a pattern, arranging these events. Ever since the Winter Solstice Ride, "Mother Nature" has been a "Mother Fucker" for us. Thanks to all who joined us last night. You are an inspiration to cyclists everywhere. Here are a few scenes from last night.

As always Sven was unsure of the attire for the occasion. He thought it was return of the naked ride. He still vaguely resembled a Zombie.


Clare and Laura are usually looking to eat something. Brains were on the menu last night.


Something about Rosanna's costume that looked quite normal. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Tony had the costume of the night. Not sure what he was. Perhaps man on the loose with a bag of stolen makeup.


This was the high point of the evening. Touching...



Ghost bikes should be recognized by the Federal and Local Governments. That's just how I feel.

On a lighter note. This unlucky young fellow, had the misfortune of having his crank fall off. So much for new bikes being problem free.

Fortunately Bean happened to be chewing on a couple of crank bolts. I've seen her eat those fuckers. Now all is well with that Schwinn Madison.


There was at least 1 Hipster Hanging, that took place.

Looking at Brittany in this wig reminds me that the aFro was, and still is, a cool hairstyle.

Then again...forget what I just said.




Dear God...

Are you Ready?

It's that time of year, when fall fashions come out of the closet. The cheaper summer wear go's into retirement and for us cyclists it seems, it's dark when you take to the roads in the A.M and Dark when you finally make it home in the evening. Swirling winds are starting up and it really doesn't matter what direction you're riding in, the wind is against you. Being as into bikes as I am, I usually shun the term "biking weather" or "bike season". In my mind there ain't no such thing as bike season.

So to welcome the change in weather, and to get those fabulous fall fashions wrapped around us, I like to welcome one and all to, Lugs first annual Tweed Ride!



For you who are still curious, or who stop me on the street and ask why a tweed ride. It's our way of showing the stylish side of cycling. Sort of a fashion show on wheels. Besides, it's a shitload of fun.

For those not use to this type of ride, here's a few things FYI.

Gloves: the low for the night is projected to be 36 degrees.

Undergarments: I'm fond of bib shorts, besides ass padding you get that cozy feeling underneath.

A metal coffee mug: what you put in it is your business.

Lights: It will be dark, if you don't have any we have a few sets at the shop.

A scarf: so you don't have to always wipe your nose on your sleeve.

A lock or locks: (after party) should be a good time (11pm)
A few bucks: just makes sense...

An empty bladder: we will make a brief park stop. What you do is your call, I won't look.

Dress up: cause that's the whole point.
