Weather was perfect for bike party. Shiny Side Up announced that they would be bringing a large contingent of classy bikes.

     

Decided to take as many pictures of on theme stuff as I could easily find before the time came to head out on the ride. The minimum I was looking for was a Hawaiian shirt or something like that.

Shiny side up is all about the custom home brew bikes with lots of low rider appeal. There were really a lot of those bikes around. This was just a typical one. They were all different, but I was looking for on theme looks, not bike art.

     

Jarek was handing out GIDM stickers with a tiki jungle background.

     

     

The tiki cup holder just seems like going above and beyond to honor the theme.

     

Sheldon took that picture of me about the same time I took that picture of the cool cats.

     

As soon as the announcements were done I rushed to the corner of Hamilton and Leigh. Spent a lot of time yelling "Right on Leigh!" at bike party as they got to my spot.

  

After that is was mostly about enjoying the vibe for me. Later Amy said there were something like 763 riders.
