WOW! :shock: While this kind of event is not for everybody...If you're into the weirder side of two wheel culture, or at least tolerant of it, you must make one of these events! :mrgreen: This 'Tour was a charity event for West Town Bikes in Chicago...Are all the 'Tours for charity? This was my first and it was a BLAST! The parade was awesome with like, I dunno, over 100 bikes of ALL kinds. Police escort, stopped traffic at all the intersections-VERY cool! I arrived at the park around 9:00 and realized I had forgotten my camera! :x So I had to buy a cheapie disposable...So apologies for the lousy pics. I handed out a few RRB.com fliers as well. :wink: Thanks again Skip for the invite!!!! So here's what I got:

They had an area fenced off with all sorts of crazy bikes to ride...Lots of fun mayhem! :mrgreen:

Crazy shoe bike!

Bikes, bikes and more bikes!

Firestone Super Cruiser

Raul, the guy who owns this one told me that he found it abandoned in an alley...

The builder of this one is a forum member! (sorry brother, I don't remember your name )

All of the TDF's raise money for a local bike organization in the town where it's being held.
