I welcomed a cheer as I arrived, since I had this in tow:
A pirate ship!
It's not as big or grand or magnificient as I once hoped to create, but since the sprinklers attacked it twice and free time has been quite limited lately, I think it's got a nice homely appeal. :)
I even found a pirate!
What made me the happiest about our group was the fantastic variety we achieved. We were a great display of all the different ways to live, love and ride bicycles.
Barbara showed us that yes you CAN wear a skirt on a bike!
Jared piloted a PediPower pedicab.
Ben Chaddock, the new president of Whitman Cycling- Cheers, Whitman!
Reggie, from Bicycle Barn, rode a (remake) penny farthing. Now that is just plain COOL.
Jeanne brought beautiful flowers from Welcome Table Farm and designed beautiful posters for us to hang on our buses (I wish I had taken a picture of them!)
Hoorah! Alice (who grows tasty vegetables over on West End Farm) rode her Xtracycle!
Laurel (above) and Lish (below) were not lacking for enthusiasm. :)
Sean Duffy picked out one of his (many!) restored vintage bicycles to ride.
And there were many more.. (and it's taking me a long time to upload these, so that's all you're going to see!)
So cheers! and Thank You! to all the cyclists that came out to the parade to promote a beautiful way to get around and enjoy life.
