The kids' Friday Night Bike Crew has grown and grown this year. We are now routinely getting 20 people on our weekly rides and have over 35 people who've participated in the past four months. WOW! This is a great thing. Our kids are getting exercise, learning how to get around by their own power, learning how to navigate, investigating new neighborhoods and environments, getting back to nature, and are having a lot of fun while doing it.

This year we were the very first group to get our entry submitted for the parade. Will that mean that we are the first "float"? Find out by joining us.

We have two meeting places this year. Little kids (and their escorts) will meet at 12056 Maple Ave (my garage) to get their bikes decorated and their lights ready at 4pm. Adult bike club members can meet up at 5 pm at Walnut and Gregory (or thereabouts... look for the bikes).

WEAR YOUR WARMEST WINTER CLOTHING AND BE SURE TO DRESS IN LAYERS!

This is always a fun outing. Check out our festive wear and decorated bikes by clicking through to the full text link below ("Read More...").

We met at 121st and Western Ave (roughly near Thornton's) at about 10:45 am. We had a few decorations and flags available for those who were still looking for ideas.

The BIBC rode with Cub Scout Pack 3785 from St. Walters. We were also joined by the new Friday Night Bike Crew, a group of kids who go for organized rides every Friday evening. Several of the Bike Crew kids were participating in other floats in the parade (AYSO soccer, EASC swim club, etc), so we were a little light in their presence. Frank Gallegos, Leslie Gonzalez, Eddy and Jose Esparza, Cameron Jones, Jamilax Mendez, Nelson Schnieder, and the Healy kids were able to make it though.
