I hope next year will be warmer and less rainy, funny, I have said that almost every year.

Still had a blast despite some of the stupid people.

I also heard some of the male riders shouting to female spectators (mostly drunk Trixies were addressed): "Show us your tits!"

Um, the ride was not about "showing tits" (and this was yelled at non-participants anyway!).

Sheesh.

there was one guy at the other BP that was about to have his video camera taken from him. he was in the middle of the riders and pushing the lens up to every titty that rode by. i saw a few women put their tops back on at this spot

Big, big thanks to all of the security guys (Gabe, Doug, Lee, Dana, Brian, and all of the others who I am forgetting at the moment). Thanks for keeping it safe and sane.

And yes, there were a lot of dongs there, both riders and spectators (one guy at the BP on LaSalle/Clark was putting his camera up to women's boobs and taking photos - I rode by him and said, "F*ck off, perv!" but he was too busy salivating to hear me).

Doug's comment about the littering makes me sad. That sucks, and totally is against the spirit of the ride. People are stupid. :(

Has anyone noticed almost all the craigslist missed connections on the CL homepage are related to the ride?

I was not in the video, thankfully... did any of you see or hear about this?

As fun as the ride was I am going to take a minute here and bitch and moan about something I found to be terribly, terribly wrong with it. Something I consider to be a serious issue that really should be addressed next year.

Litter.

And not just a little either.

I was one of the last people out of the 'rest stop' and the condition that we, as a group, left the park in was a travesty of justice. There is no reason that we, a ride that claims to be protesting for the environment, should leave the streets and a public park riddled with litter. I can not imagine that there is anyone reading this who is unable to see the blatant ignorance and hypocrisy of this ride leaving a public green space is a state of disgrace.

The worst I saw was a group of dongs who threw a bunch of beer cans and a 12 pack of Budweiser cans down on the street. When I suggested the pick up their trash the response was 'It's Lincoln Park, they have people to pick it up.'

How classist and ignorant can you get?

I hate to sound overly violent but people like that deserve a firm punch in the genitals.
