This weekend in San Francisco was one of the whackier events, Bring Your Own Big Wheel (BYOBW). The curviest street, Lombard Street, is shut down for 1 hour so daredevils can take their fate into their own hands by riding down on plastic wheeled tricycles. No rubber wheeled vehicles are allowed at any time. This year thousands were in attendance and hundreds took part. My only regret was not finding a Big Wheel in time for the event so I too could make the ride. In any event it was hilarious to witness so here are the highlights along with a link to a larger set of images:

Great photos Jim. Man I miss SF.
I spent 47 straight hours in a car to get to the race, but it was worth it! Great pictures! I’m the one in the blue shirt and bunny ears. 🙂
Johnny the event was hilarious. Glad you found yourself in the photos. 47 hours is commitement. I’m impressed.
