We like our neighborhood and neighbors and have participated in this event the last 6 years on foot. Assuming it doesn't rain tonight we plan to ride instead of walk. Both kids have bikes with training wheels and my wife and I will be on rigid mountain bikes turned road machines. I suspect a good time will be had by all. I'm pretty excited about it since my wife's Hard Rock is finally comfortable for her, slicker tires, upright stem and higher rise bars did the trick.
Anyone else riding bikes in their neighborhood tonight as a part of NNO?
edit: I was just thinking, this would would be a great event for cycling associations to get behind, don't you think? Get the family out on bikes and meet your neighbors, ride the whole neighborhood kind of thing.
We are fortunate in that we live in a neighborhood with very wide streets and no fast moving through streets. I might try and figure out a way to promote cycling next year for this event, at least in our immediate neighborhood.
