I enjoy riding a tall bike but have no interest in jousting. I believe tall bike jousting was made popular by the Black Label Bicycle Club.
Ok here's what Wikipidea says...

Tall bike jousting is a popular sport among bicycle hackers, and is commonly considered to have been introduced by Jake Houle and Lil' Bob of the Hard Times/Black Label Bike Club.

Here's our usual quick ride we do frequently from our home on our cruiser bikes. Referred to as "the loop" (by us) this ride is all on bicycle path and sidewalk. From tonight...

Robert's post over at River City Cyclist reminded me we needed to go ride the new Chapin Park trails here in Wichita. Today we went to check it out thinking it my be to wet to ride after last night's rain. What they call the "multi-use" trail was good and dry due to the fact it's got such a thick layer of loose gravel. This thick layer of loose gravel also makes it difficult and no fun to ride (IMHO). I don't think it's feasible as a bike trail or at least not now. I don't know if this stuff will ever pack down but maybe then. There are some dirt trails down along the river but they were to wet to ride. This new park sits on an old landfill and edges the Arkansas River. It also has a dog park, model airplane field, picnic and restroom facilities. The park is 190 acres and is located at 3800 S. Hydraulic, just across Macarthur from Emery Park BMX track. Photos here.

After riding we ran by the bike shop to drop off my bike for repair (neither derailleur was shifting). While there we ran into Dave having some work done on his trike and Chad who was working on his rat rod project.

Map and stats from the ride. We piddled around (catching my breath) quite a bit.

Another shirt for the collection. This one is from the FreakBike Militia - West Palm Beach chapter's 2009 Halloween Chopper Nite ride.
The shirt was sent to me from internet friend and founder of the FreakBike Militia Kenny. Thanks!

A few old videos of test rides on my homemade bikes a chopper, tall bike and tandem.

A friend of ours surprised me with this unique Christmas gift.
It's an old photo which he added a caption to.
The caption is a quote from the MC at last years bike fest.
I received it at the Bikes For Tots parade but just now getting around to posting this.
Thanks again Mitch.

Going through some photos and videos from last year and found this one of Nova testing out the bike she bought for our clubs 20 Inch Night.

New Years Day our bike group had our annual dinner and ride. The temperature at the time of the ride was just 28 degrees. We didn't ride far. It was a great time despite the cold.
