Liar's Tour Details
Normally I don't start a forum post about my individual rides, but in this case, it is important to clear up some misconceptions about the ride that are starting to make their way back to me. More than anything, I don't want anyone to get hurt, so it is important that everyone in the universe reads this, not just those going on the ride. Believe me.
IN the first place,
It is $10,000 per spoke, not $100,000 a ride. Disc wheels count as a million spokes so don't try it smart guy.
Minimum bike value is $4 million. Bike must weigh NEGATIVE five kilograms or less. And have schrader valves. You may not inflate the tires.
Ride speed will be one hundred miles per hour.
We will obey all traffic signals and laws without fail.
We will all be required to carry our weight in cargo.
No cargo carriers.
The tour route is not published or available for preview but it is around 900 miles. It will take 9 hours. See above.
Children are permitted, but do not count towards cargo weight, but against it. If parent is pedaling, it must have cargo equal to the weight of the parent AND the child. Obviously.
No pictures aloud.
No talking above a whisper at any point except during one block on a very quiet residential street at which point you are required to scream. No more than three breaths are aloud on this block. We need a lot of screaming.
Ride is capped at 100,000,000,000 riders. Period.
Exclamation point.
The ride WILL be at 6:00 PM Friday, April 1 in front of Ciclo Urbano.
And we'll start on time.

Fair question Cameron. Conceivably, someone could ride a three-spoked aerospoke wheeled unicycle for the low-low price of just $30,0000.
Hoverbikes count as having a million disc wheels.

Weather actually looks decent. It is supposed to rain some today but be clear by 6:00 which is the ride start. Good thing as my fender-laden bike isn't with me today and I'd hate to have an embarassing wet spot all ride! Hope to see you out there tonight.
Cheers - Lee

Nice weather for a tour, is this some sort of joke?

Correction,
ride start is where Ciclo Urbano use to be located. Unfortunately it fell into a giant sink hole that opened this morning. We are open for business, but I suggest you bring a rope.
Also, we're having a huge sale on uni-spoke unicycles!
