Bikes, bikes, bikes and more... silly hats?

Atomic Cycles, a bike repair shop that can fix, paint, cutomize your bike, and they sell vintage bikes will be hosting
their Chopper Cabras 8th Annual Spring Thing, The Silly Hat Ride.

What is this you ask? Total and utter mayhem... filled with good times, and bicycles.

The event starts at noon, on Sunday May 31st, be there by noon or you will miss good times, and you should bring your own bike, and a silly hat. Now come on do not be afraid to wear a silly hat, there will hundreds of people standing next to you wearing silly hats.


Here is a list of whats gonna go down:

Super big figure 8 race:
A lot of small bikes trying to do 15 laps on a figure 8 circuit, all at once.

Pedal n' Puke race:
16" tall bikes, groups of 3 race to one end, get off their bikes do 5 spins with their heads on poles, the goal is to be the first to do 3 laps.

The Big, Bigger, Biggest Battle Royale:
This one is quick and dirty. 20 tall bikes will be in a ring of death. Each rider will have foam weapons.

The Demolition Derby:
This one will hurt. 12 bikes will have metal rams on the front of their bikes, no rules, just win.

after all these events, there will be a bike ride.



The ride will be a leisurely pace, with hundreds of riders riding the streets of North Hollywood. The idea is to sort of have a bike crawl. But, playing it safe is the goal.

When the ride is done, you will be back at Atomic Cycles for a bbq. A FREE bbq.


All of the events besides the ride are volunteer events, you need to sign up before the day of. Check out the website, and click on the flier for more info, and rules and what not.
