Summer Bright Ride 2012
The Urban Basin Cycle Club and Queen City Bike partnered up to host the Summer Bright Ride last night. The ride meandered around downtown past the various World Choir Game events to show the world that Cincinnati loves bikes. It was incredible how excited people got when they saw the bikes going past all lit up. One of the highlights was Mayor Mallory jumping out of a blacked out Escalade and high-fiving people as they rode past.
We joked around that these two were the grand marshalls. Why didn't I think of hiring J-Ride to cart me around?
Even this guy stopped and thought "what the Sam Hell........."
Nights like that it strikes you just how many people have smart phones now, kids to grandparents pulled them out and began taking pictures as the bikes flew past.
The ride was capped by a group shot at Music Hall.
