December Theme: Anti-Silent Night
Old Saint Nick does not want you to ride quietly through the night.
Jingle your bells. Toot your horns. Blow your trumpets. Drag some cans.
If you’re too quiet, you’ll get a lump of coal for Christmas.

Cinco De Mayo y Donkeys
On the 5th of May 1862, 4000 Mexican soldiers, against overwhelming odds, defeated a French army invasion of 8000 during the Battle of Puebla. Though the victory was short-lived, it represented a great morale boost for Mexico. Three years later Mexico expelled the French with help from the Untied States.
How are you going to celebrate the Battle of Puebla victory?
Stage a reenactment of the Battle of Puebla?
Dress as a pinata?
Fly a Mexican flag?
Add your ideas below…

Regardless of what you think about guerrilla art, I just have to share things like this when creative minds combine art and bikes.

February Theme: What’s in Your Closet?
Everyone has something in their closet. Something they’re just looking for a reason to wear. Something they’re hiding. Something they’re proud of. A broom or some empty coat hangers. What ever it is, strap it on, put it on, bring it out.
Don’t forget the rules of the ride.
