Here is a beautiful shot by Jesse Chan-Norris of the DC bike valet. Can we say success!? Thanks to all the valet volunteers out there. You are appreciated. Check out WABA’s Flickr stream for more action.

Those of use who stayed in NYC were lucky enough to have our own bike parade courtesy of Times UP. We’ll get those photos up as soon as we spot them.

We would have killed to see someone rocking this art piece, but it was just on display at Manifest the Hope as far as we know.

With all this new found hope, we can only hope to see Obama rockin his bike and some bike friendly policies more often – to you Mr. President.

Check out the Time’s Up Bike Ride. We’ll be there if only we can figure out a way to be at work, make it to the White House Project event and stop by for a ride. Totally possible, right?

Inauguration Bike Parade
Tuesday, January 20th at 2:00 pm
Meet under the arch in Washington Square Park
Rain or snow cancels the ride.

Can’t be in D.C. for the big event on Tuesday? Hop on your own seat of power and join the fun in NYC with the Time’s Up! Inauguration Bike Parade. We’ll be playing presidential music on the sound bike as we cycle through the streets and cheer the peaceful transition of power. Nothing says Democracy like riding your bike.
