Outrageous! Parade and Grand Opening of Ciclo Urbano / West Town Bikes

Gee, I wish I could have been there when the wacky musicians, tricked out bikes and pumped up participants made the move to the new location of West Town Bikes / Ciclo Urbano, now at 2459 W. Division on the Paseo Boricua, the Puerto Rican shopping district.
Next best thing, I read Maureen Kelleher's report on Community Beat and viewed the audio slideshow put together by Sarahmaria Gomez and Alex Fledderjohn, also on that blog.

More photos here.

If you were there, tell us what you saw and heard.

Even though I missed the mass, the party was indeed fun. Good to see familiar faces.

John Greenfield provides more background on Ciclo Urbano and other healthy lifestyle activities in Humboldt Park on his blog Vote With Your Feet.

An earlier video by TuMultimedia takes you inside Alex Wilson's BickerBikes program, which teaches local youth mechanical and riding skills, and a life skills, too.
