Wow this event was an absolute blast!!
Weather was perfect and the gravity mobiles were a wild ride. Can't wait to do it again.
Had a great time, now I really do have to build a four wheeled contraption to race. I wanted to run that hill as a kid in the official Soap Box Derby, but it never happened, so I run it now as a kid some many many years later. Those who made it out there had a good time making fun memories. Those of you who didn't make there missed out, be there next time.
Even though it wasn't well organized it was still a ton of fun and very exciting. Tires falling off..... brakes going out.... it was great!
Had a great time..... the wreck was entertaining for some,and terrifying for others.... sorry to the guy (i don't know your name) who's wonderfully built racer i sent home in pieces!! I will be prepared next year wear boots instead of flip-flops so if I need to use my foot as a brake I CAN!!!!
Peace
I had a blast and I'm already thinking of something to build. I had great time, got to take a few rides and shot lots of pix and some video too. Thanks to everyone who came out and an extra thank you to those of you who donated some money to our medical bill fund. I think we'll do this again in the spring and do it the Sunday after the Art of the Bicycle in May.
Thanks for the good time...
Just right Randy----there must have been at least 100,000 there ! Wish I'd been there earlier & seen the crash. Great pictures & video ! What a great time----
Tooooooo mucho el funno! Let's do this again...SOON! No worries about crashing the Blue Bullet. I was just the test driver, it belongs to Tom. At least Stephanie mangled it, not me!
BTW, Randy (?) I'll get your 'steering wheel' to you soon. |

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any photos from before the turn of the century of any Wichita bicycle clubs and i
n particular of any bicycle repair shops. Our house (which is now the Delano Bed and Breakfast) was built by Morris Scho
llenberger who was one of three brothers who owned the Schollenberger & Co. bicycle repair shop located at 230 N Main in
Wichita. The brothers closed the [...]
