Try-A-Bike Jamboree 2016

Sunday, August 21st, 10-3, Bud Harris Oval. The usual drill: come ride odd bikes, hang out, picnic, get sun-burnt, be excellent to each other. E-bikes (ASR), unicycles(Butler Wobble), recumbent bikes and trikes(RBR Pittsburgh), fat bikes and oddities (Thick Bike), PAT bus demo rack, and whatever else people choose to drag along. If you wish to bring anything of interest from your own collection, please feel free!
