Be aware, the WABA Bicyclist Choice Awards are that same evening.

Imagine this: It’s a Tuesday evening in late February and you’re riding your bike through the car-free streets of Clarendon. Clamoring revelers, three deep on either side, line the road–each one vying for your attention as you choose which ones are worthy of your time to throw candy and beads to. The crowd is whipped into a feverish delirium as you ring your bell and maneuver your bike along the frenzy. Talk about a rush!! (Don’t worry, we’ll supply the candy and beads for you…)

We’re officially asking for volunteers now. Come out–it’ll be the most fun you’ve had on a bike in awhile!!

RSVP on the FB link: https://www.facebook.com/events/1286133311425162/ or just let us know here that you’re coming.

Oh great, a mild winter and now it’s going to snow the week after next because you announced a Mardi Gras parade.

Bob beat you to that punchline, two years ago. How does it feel to be bested by Bob?

It was an homage to Bob.

Heads up! This is tomorrow night!

We’ll be meeting at the corner of Wilson/Barton (Delhi Dhaba, Papa John, Java Shack intersection) at 6:30. Parade rolls out at 7pm. We’ve got tons of candy and beads.

See you there.

Potentially the most fun you can have biking 2 miles per hour!

Sorry the Tronfiets won’t be making a re-appearance.

…he says in jest.

But looking back to last year, I averaged 2.4mph for the mile!

In keeping with tradition, weather has made itself known for tonight’s parade. BUT. Despite the rain–the parade will go on!

See y’all out there for a slow roll through the mists of Clarendon!

[Tim Kelley]

Yay! Thanks for everyone who came out. Soggy fun was had by all!
