I thought it was overrated, then friends convinced me to do it a couple years ago and I found it to be quite underrated.

It is quite amusing to see people literally falling over each other trying to get out of a bar to see what all the fuss is about.

But they canceled the kickoff party! That was the only part worth going to! Booo!

They canceled the Kickoff Party? boo

If it gets any colder I'm out of this one. Was hells of fun last year.

How slippery is a nude ass on a wet bicycle seat?

@Unicode Travesty - Really? That seems like a textbook use of the word 'literally.'

@Unicode Travesty: I used it correctly..because the individuals I was referring to were actually falling ontop of each other out onto the sidewalk with one spilling his beer.

Had I said that they were "literally flying" out the door then you would be correct, because the bar patrons in question were not birds, they were people.

@Reymont: Did you coin the unicode usage of UT's username? Awesome...

The Kickoff Party was not "cancelled"... you cannot cancel something that was not planned. It just didn't happen this year because the event has outgrown any indoor venue we can possibly come up with on a bike-funnists' budget. Also the planning had become so enormous that too many people missed out on too many Pedalpalooza events because they were planning the party.

@Humanclock - Nope, that seems to just be the standard term on here. I like it - still not sure what they're doing to get a garbled mess like that, though.

@Organic Brain - It's a recurring event, right? If there's always been a dance party, and they're not having it this time, I feel comfortable using the word "canceled," you nitpicker. The dance party was AWESOME, with all capital letters and gold fireworks. The bike ride: oh no I won't go. If that means you have to raise the admission price or split the party between venues or have it in an outside space, I'm totally down. Until it's back, you'll have a sole, sad, pouty, quiet boycotter on your hands, buddyboy.

Well, Reymont instead of complaining about it next year maybe you'll join in the organizing. This year will be known as Year of the Burnout since all the same people have been setting this stuff up for years now.

Riding a bike while drunk and naked is no way to go through life.

How many DUII's were issued?
