Last night was our 4th annual 20 Inch Night at the Thursday Night Pub Pedal. Our biggest turn out to date. I estimate 40 plus small wheeled bikes. Mostly muscle bikes, a few lowriders, a couple of 26" frames sporting 20" wheels, one 20" wheeled burrito and the donk which was a really small frame with 26" wheels.

Thanks to all the Coasters who participated and to Dave for bringing the banner.

A record breaking 15 tandems showed up at the Shamrock for last nights 4th annual Tandem Night at the Thursday Night Pub Pedal. Vintage 26 inch rear steers, home-built 20 inch rear steers and everything in between like a vintage 26 inch home-built rear steer. From the Shamrock we rode to the Arena where we picked up some Brooks & Dunn swag. From there to the fountains and then the Blue Lounge.

Photos here. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of that cool little 20" home-built (in a day) rear steer.

The first Ride 'Round Town was great fun! Starting from Tom Sawyer Bicycle Shop we took a casual cruise around the South Central part of Wichita stopping along the way to tour a late 1800s home, the beautiful old Grace Methodist Church and a 1953 fire station turned home. The ride ended back at Tom Sawyer Bicycle where we enjoyed hot dogs, drinks and prizes.
At our second stop I counted 70 bicycles. I heard of someone else counting at least 80 at one point.

Thanks to Tom Sawyer Bicycle, Mr. Larry, the Health and Wellness Coalition of Wichita and especially those who opened up and welcomed us in to their homes and buildings.
