You said Party - So I wore my Party dress

One of many great things about mass rides is the growing awareness of bike culture and the diversity of riders. Stretchy pants or cycling chic they are all welcome at Party rides. All though San Jose is no Copenhagen (or Portland) as far as bike style is concerned this area is slowly coming around.

My favorite on this ride was a beautiful backless red cocktail dress with a superb pair of riding shoes, showing rather nicely that you dont have to have strectch pants and a loud jersey to sport the look. The only thing missing was a Copenhagen style skirt gaurd on the bike.

Light Rider Ride - San Jose Bike Party Ride

I am little groggy this morning as I write this post, after finishing my ride back to the house by about two only to wake up at 6:00. This is one of the biggest rides I've seen yet and it was confirmed by sjbikeparty.org ("Reflections on Ride #21-Light Rider!") ; there were over 1,500 riders on last nights ride, which started at Dick's Center and ended after 17.25 miles at the fountain at SJSU at around midnight. Read the post to find out more on the amazing growth of these rides.

The sheer numbers of riders show just how starved this area is for some type of organized ride where fun, socializing and some type of light physical activity happen while feeling connected to a larger group of riders. As you enter the street at the start of the ride and feel more confortable riding amongst cars; that on any given day treat you as just a road obstacle, it feels good to be with fellow riders enjoying the warm summer evening.

The diversity of riders is amazing; young, old, cruisers, lowriders, roadies, teenagers, families, boyfriends and girlfriends all come together just to "Bike Party". As we passed neighborhoods many cyclists shouted out to residents and families; "Grab your bike. Let's Go....BIKE PARTY!", encouraging them to join the travelling festival.

All in all ...Good Times...Good Fun....Lets's Go ...BIKE PARTY!
