yesterday...

parade bike...
Originally uploaded by divine_gear

was the annual blossom day parade in chagrin falls. the shop takes part in it every year.

a lot of drink was had by me. and it then became very difficult to steer a front loaded bike down and up the parade route, on a hill no less. needless to say...this is the last time this bike will be in a parade. not a good drinking bike; plus it is heavy as hell to carry on and off the car.

set it up with the pizza basket with a pizza box, and a whiskey container (both empty). mashed a cage into shape for a flask (filled of course; but not for long), man sized beers in the rear basket, and all personal fx's in the bag.

children cramming the route, all wanting 'hi-fives'. candy thrown out on the street. keep the bell ringing just to make sure that they heard you, and i circled around the truck. stayed up front with the rest of the drunks in our line.

good times were had by all.
