Pics From Bike Friendly Oak Cliff’s Cyclesomatic Bike Fair & Spooky Cyclocross 2012
Yesterday, Bike Friendly Richardson, was invited to have a table at the Cyclesomatic Bike Fair – hosted by Bike Friendly Oak Cliff. It started off a bit chilly, but it ended up being a great day.
Along with many booths and a huge crowd, there was a cyclocross race. I’d never seen one in person, so it was pretty exciting to watch.
There was also a bike powered smoothie station hosted by BikeDFW as well as representatives from Metroplex BMX, Pedal Power, Bicycles, Inc and ReGeared. Good Karma Kitchen was there with some tasty food and the youngsters in the crowd were entertained by a bounce house and fantastic face painting. If that wasn’t enough, there was a BMX Stunt show.
Here are some pics of the event. Click here to see the entire set.
BFOC Hosts Dallas’ Third Tweed Ride
For the third year, Bike Friendly Oak Cliff will be hosting the Dallas Tweed Ride. Here are the details:
Date: Sunday, November 13, 2011
Time: 1:30 pm
Start: The grassy knoll in Downtown Dallas (at Dealey Plaza)
RSVP: via Facebook
“The ride will take us through historic Oak Cliff with stops at the Turner House for lawn games and merriment, the Bishop Arts District to stroll the outdoor market at CliffFest, and finally returning to Downtown Dallas. This ride has become an institution in Dallas bringing out over one hundred chaps and lasses all wearing their finest knickers and caps. Last year’s event included dancing, tug-of-wars, umbrella jousting, cucumber sandwich tosses, and beer relays. Expect all of that and more as we prepare for another rousing ride through our fare city.” More info here.
This is a fun ride. If you haven’t tried it before, we suggest that you try it. The pace is slow and the scene is an amazing spectacle of interesting bicycle attire. It may run a bit late, so don’t forget to bring your lights. Here are my pics from last year.

I took a spin with the BFOC group today to tour the community gardens of Oak Cliff on their Spring Has Sprung Ride. The ride was a bit hot, but the stops were interesting and a bit inspirational.

Red Line To The BFOC Ninjas Vs. Pirates Ride
I’m thinking about doing the BFOC Ninja’s Vs. Pirates Ride on Sunday, April 25. I think it would be more fun to take the DART Redline to the event. Anybody else interested? According to their Sunday route map, we’d need to meet at the Arapaho station for the 2:15 train to make it to the Pear or St. Paul stations around 2:40. The ride starts at 3:00.
If you want to do this, bring $4 in cash for an all-day DART pass or $1.75 (each way) for single ride fares.
UPDATE: due to a situation out of my control, I may not make it this event. PLEASE, feel free to meet up and make the trip without me. Apologies for any inconvenience.
NEW UPDATE: looks like my situation got under control and was able to make it out there after all. I’ll have a full report later.
