After I determined that he had liked my coverage, I confessed that I was the guy.
He suggested I check out the ride notice on the Freakbike Militia web site.
Some ol’ Hippy told me about the Freakbike Militia’s Groovy little cruise coming up on Wednesday, July 1st, 7:00pm at the corner of Southern and Flagler.
Yeah Man, said it was some sorta “Summer of Love” 60’s Ride. A Freakstock kinda thing with Peace signs and Tye Dye, The Doors and Hendrix, Choppers and Cruisers, Woodstock and Mini skirts, Go-Go Boots and John Lennon glasses, Tall Bikes and Low Riders, Dead Heads and Electric Kool-Aid…….You get the idea.
Meeting at 7:00pm and leaving at 7:30pm sharp. 60’s attire is highly encouraged, c’mon, support your local Goodwill store!
Headlight and taillight are mandatory, helmets are encouraged, mandatory (by Fl. law) for the kiddies 15 and under.
if you see someone being a Gomer, call them on it and tell ’em why.
**The crossing over the yellow line or blasting down the sidewalks and yelling at pedestrians and drivers that sorta stuff.
There will be dumb games and the transfer of the FBM Cup. C’mon out and get your groovy on with the Freakbike Militia.
Don’t let the name Freakbike Milita scare you off. These are nice folks who spend a lot of time fixing up their bicycles, some of which are legitimate pieces of art.
Some are families with lots of riders bringing their kids.
At the Miami to Key Largo MS-150, I ran into an entire club of high riders. There must have been two dozen of them or more rolling down the road.
I was one of those guys! It was great being “high” for 150 miles.
I can’t wait to do it again next year with even more fellow Freakbikers!
As a matter of fact you still do own a recumbent and it’s safe in my basement. I have asked a lot of folks in St. Louis if they would like a good deal on a recumbent, but no takers.
I guess as long as you aren’t charging me rent and it isn’t taking up space in my garage that is cool.
Maybe not quite two dozenTBs but hey. who’s counting.
Planning to ride tall again with TSFB ‘1o.
