Bike Night on Beale St.

[turpin]

I was going walkabout yesterday on the Memphis Riverwalk and ended up on Beale St. Turns out Wednesday is bike night on Beale. Though I am not currently two-wheel-enabled, I have been in the past and I know there are a lot of you out there who appreciate a good bike, so I thought I'd share some of the pix I took.

Beale looking east. Bikes lined up on both sides for 2 blocks


Beale looking west


Bikes over Beale. My jaw dropped and I grabbed for the camera.

Great pictures. I'm puzzled to know as to how those last two got up there.

Snow last weekend, this weekend in the 70s... can't wait to break the bike out for the long haul!



Thanks for sharing the pics!

Great pics, but the first one is the best as we can see your shadow on the street. I assume you were kilted?

Big ramp on one side for take-off, big ramp on the other side for landing. Extreme biking. I'm amazed I got that shot of the guy doing the flip.

Does a fat dog break wind? Is a frog's a$$ watertight? I am hardly ever not kilted these days. I had a meeting today with Department of Defense Reps - Kilted. Tonite was a community meeting at which I felt it was not appropriate, so I wore p@nt$. I had the kilt in my backpack and changed right afterward to go out on downtown Memphis. Two weeks ago I met with Department of Energy environmental folks. Yes, the Buchanan Modern wowed them.

can you explain exactly how on earth that guy in the last pic is riding around a traffic light, and where on earth there are traffic light that big?

I used to own a business at 333 Beale Street. They block off Beale St. and some of the smaller side streets for special events. It's also the ONLY place in Tennessee that you can walk around the street with an alcoholic drink in you hand.

I's a perspective thing. He's doing a back flip on the bike.
