So, I decided to break off my normal quickie loop (riding my fixed) and go visit Hyland Bicycles on Meridian here in San Jose. They were closed already, but I saw some fixie kids (brakeless, super narrow bars, etc.) go towards the back. Even though I don't style-out like the fixed gear crowd, I went back there to see what they were up to and hang out for a sec (boy did I stand out like a sore thumb decked out in my cycling gear, helmet, clipless pedals/shoes! But they were cool to me even though I was "roadie'd out").
They told me about something called SJBikeParty where "1000+ cyclists show up and ride". After some digging I found the website: http://www.sjbikeparty.org
Anybody see, hear, participate in this? I doubt I'd ever go to ride with the exception of gathering up my BMX buddies and hitting a trick session, but it looks crazy. At least they are trying to promote bicycle safety and traffic protocol.
