Bicycle Shout-Out

[Hickabod]

A few weeks back, the band I'm in played a gig at SK Net Cafe in Charlotte, NC. Normally the crowds are pretty small there but this time they were showing a locally produced horror movie and a larger crowd was present, many dressed up like Zombies or some other ghoulish character.

Anyway while standing out front, I notice a few folks ride up on bikes, then a couple more. Before I know it, there are about ten bikes chained up along a railing.

Several of the other bands joined in with the Zombie theme and worked the crowd to their advantage. Well we were just wearing what we normally wear so I decided to dedicate our set to the brave men and women who chose to ride their bikes to the show. At first there was a look of confusion but then I heard those people hooting it up and I even saw one guy lift his helmet like it was a cigarette lighter or something.

The zombies seemed confused by all the fuss and we didn't waste anymore time before continuing with our set.

In the book The Zombie Survival Guide it says that a bike is the best transportation because it needs no gas and you can take it almost anywhere, so those guys are smart. I didnt read the book, some crazy friend of my girlfriend had it and I skimmed through it, just so happens that the bike thing is one of the few things that I read. Ride on zombie haters!
