Pedalfest 2015
Bicycles everywhere! Oakland's PedalFest at Jack London Square was a blast. Weird bikes, cool bikes, bike advocacy, bike-powered music. Food. It was just too much fun.

Of course, navigating a city by bicycle can be challenging. Most maps don't have enough bicycle-specific info. We managed, but didn't enjoy playing leap-frog with the busses, or later riding down a busy road when we were sure there was a better way we just didn't know about. On the plus side, Oakland drivers seem used to bicycles and don't get angry that they exist.

I remember trekking to L.A. to watch Nelson qualify for the '84 Olympics at the trials on that horrid concrete velodrome. (Okay, I was really there to watch a friend not-quite-qualify for the Olympics, but I enjoyed the rest of the racing almost as much as her near-miss.) He was one impressive rider, but only a few hundred people were there to watch.
