Wheels on Fire

One of the myriad reasons I enjoy living in San Francisco is that events such as Bring Your Own Big Wheel are planned and executed with no other motive than the pursuit of good, clean F-U-N.

Click here to watch an amusing YouTube clip of the event.

Also, I think you'll enjoy checking out some excellent photos taken that sunny day. I only wish I'd heard about the event before it took place (why didn't I know about this?!) and could have trudged up the hill, a few blocks up from my apartment, to check out the zany scene first-hand.

Update: Oops! Apparently, the photos I linked to were from last year's race (and there were, oh... 5 or 6 gazillion more people this year!). Please point your little mousy thing and click here, here or here to see some of this year's colorful photos.

Hey again.

That is truly hilarious. I love it when adults act like children, especially in such a loosely organized public "happening!" When New Yorkers take to the East River wearing tutus and water wings, then MAYBE we will be as cool as you.

Thanks for linking to my photos. To clarify, these were taken during last year's BYOBW. It seems that there about twice as many participants and spectators this year. I worry that it may have reached its capacity.
