BFA Ride Video

I finally got around to downloading the video from Bike Friendly Arlington's group ride last week. Please excuse my shaky camera work.

Bike Friendly Arlington

Today was the inaugural ride for one of the newest members of the Bike Friendly family, Bike Friendly Arlington. The BFA folks did an excellent job greeting riders and making them feel welcome. Attendance was great, I believe that there were in excess of fifty riders. The only downside to todays ride could be attributed to something completely out of the organizers control, the strong wind. Fortunately a good portion of the ride took place on neighborhood streets where the wind was partially blocked by houses and trees. Despite the wind everybody had a great time. BFA is off to a good start.

Todays ride was Easter themed which is why everybody was donning rabbit ears.

This was the only tandem in the group. They handled some of the sharp turns on todays route with expert precision.

Track stands before the start. The Dallas fixed gear contingent was present, fresh off their three day adventure ride from Dallas to Austin.

On the road.

We pulled into a shopping center parking lot to allow everyone to regroup.

Easter egg hunt.

This was within ten feet of where I parked my bike, otherwise I wouldn't have found any eggs. The eggs were filled with candy and a coupon for the new Sun & Ski Sports located just east of the Parks Mall in Arlington.
