Just a month before the madness of Pedalpalooza begins, let's shine up our hottest bikes and parade ourselves down Alberta Street to show off the who's who of Portland bike culture!

Join us in Pretty Dresses with Kazoos* (Previous pretty dress ride photos here: http://redbatpress.com/pretty2)
*cheap kazoos provided, bring quality ones if you have them

Ride with your favorite bike culture clan. We'll be contacting you - or contact us!
Our dream is to have all of the following represented, plus any more!

1. Pretty Dress Bicyclists (Shift to Bikes: Bike Fun)
2. Move by Bike (couches, mattresses, tall obnoxious piles of stuff!)
3. Zoo Bomb mini bike/chariots
4. Tall Bikes/Drop-out club
5. Clowns Bikes
6. Local Handmade Bicycle builders
7. Belligerante Schwinn gang
8. Unicyclists
9. Families on Bikes
10. Messengers - Cargo bikes
11. Sprockettes (Is the male dance-bike team ready yet? Debut???)
12. Bike Tricksters/ BMX
13. Trash Mountain Boys- couch bike/music
14. Get Lit/Bike Safety
15. Art Bikes/Sculptures on wheels
16. Seniors on Trikes
17. Recumbents
18. Clever Cycles/Fun bikes (Bakfiets, tandems, triples, penny farthing, dutch bikes, etc)
19. Food by bike (instead of Breakfast on Bridges (B on B), how about A on A? (Appetizers on Alberta))
20 Short shorts: Scandinavians on bikes! (It will be søttende mai, Norwegian Constitution day!)
21. Political leaders (Sam Adams? Chris Smith? Forget the car or walking. let's bike!)
22. Children on Bikes (CCC?)
