Spokefest; Even Bigger Than Last Year

In my excitement over the news of a naked male sunbather I almost forgot to blog about this weekend's Spokefest event. As expected, it was bigger even than last year, and drew approximately 1600 participants, although that was an early count I heard, so it could have changed by now.

Ryan Brodwater, an engineer at the City of Spokane Valley, took part and used his new helmet cam to film this video.

Very cool video. I shared that one my company Twitter page for other riders. Well done.

Thanks for helping spread the word Nick. I was out of town for Spokefest but that video has me itching to get the Huffy out of my cubicle and onto the street.

Nice! It was really cool to see my old West Central stomping (and spinning) grounds from here in Indiana. Glad to see the growing bike community in Spokane.

Just out of curiosity David, what's the situation in Indiana as far as bicycling and walking?
