Re: 2010 RAT BIKE RODEO big changes!! CALIFORNIA we might be riding from the grid to the rodeo, anybody down to join us?

the cracker family circus is doing a tri-city tour this weekend, davis on friday, sacramento on saturday, and woodland on sunday. suzie's is on the list of places we're playing on saturday. we'll have tour t-shirts fresh off the screen. bring your dancing shoes.

the cracker family circus is supposed to play a show at practical cycle (the worksman dealer) next month or so. i'll post the date when i know. if anybody has video or pics of us please let me know, so i can add them to our facebook page.

thanks to everybody for the reception you gave the cracker family circus, it was fun playing for you guys and gals. sorry the set was so short, we usually go out on the grid after the "delta breeze" kicks in. playing harmonica and singing in the mid day heat is brutal. me and the whole band...

what's going on? did you guys take a break or what?

i want to thank everybody for helping us do what we do at the Bricks Bike Kitchen, where our motto is "do it yourself". we should be able to provide tires, tubes, and patches for the summer. thanks also to cory and mr. simpson for donating parts. thanks most of all to mike for the chance to have...

a ride after would be good, let's do it.

the bricks bike kitchen will be running the bbq. we'll have steak sandwiches and hotdogs. we also will have t-shirts for sale. hopefully we'll be able to get some patches, tubes, and tires to get us through the summer. see ya'll there, and hope you're hungry.

thanks to all you guys for enduring the rain and making all these kids happy. i can't wait to see them riding their new bikes around the hood.

the swap meet was rocking,and the ride was great. it was great seeing everybody, and i can't wait til t-day. the toy run is looking good too, maybe we should start a thread for that. dec 13 is the date for the toy run, and flyers are being distributed already. i'm looking forward to showing off...

i'm down for meeting at suzie's, but we should still go by the shop at the regular time (6-7) to pickup people that don't see this thread. i'm bringing a french foreign exchange student, to expose him to our fine american culture-lol.

get there as early as you can (6am or so). drink until you can barely ride, ride around with 700 or so people around downtown, track down the beer bike and then drink until going home sounds like a good idea. at least that's the way i remember last year. after this last year at the sac bike...

is the ride still on?

i'll be driving the "circus train" for the "brickhouse traveling bicycle circus" on second saturday, maybe both rides can meet somewhere? we are going to have fire dancers and music, and the world famous drum bike as seen on youtube.

i have one of the ev global e-bikes designed by lee iacocca, and it's pulsed dc power. the controller pulses the voltage to limit the current. it makes the bike take off smoother, instead of spinning out. electric motors have instant torque and need an artificial "power curve". the ac motor idea...
