'Ville Ride Options

Although most of the attention here in the 'Ville focuses on the Louisville Bicycle Club, a new and very different " club" has shown its funky head these last months. The website Fuck Gas, in concert with On Your Left Cycles, started hosting rides in mid-2008 and the first of the new year is today, starting at a strange morning time of 11a.m. (Most of their rides seem to be evening/nighttime ride-n-drink affairs) The flyer is below. We unfortunately have to leave town for a friend's party so I won't be able to attend, but at some point in 2009 I'm going to try one of these out.

As best as I can gather, w/out making too many suppositions, I think these randy jaunts are the part and parcel of the Louisville fixie crowd. B'town has seen the rapid growth of these folks this past year, and although gas prices have decreased, I have a feeling it's a fun movement that won't slow down just yet.

Funny, there was just an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday (or Friday, I forget which) about Ghost Bikes and how it's an international movement. And now there's the ride you posted about.

as i gather, there are many, many rides with the common there. interesting that the fixie crowd becomes the one that that supports this in 'Ville.

please don't take my riding a fixed gear bike with Fuck Gas being at all fixed exclusive. we are more about the love of riding than anything else. as long as you're pedaling, we'd love to have you along...
