Hopefully, the wind will have died down a bit when
begins on Monday, May 17.
Some of the events look pretty cool, actually. There are, however, a couple of noteworthy omissions.
For instance, the
contains no mention of a
ride this year. Presumably, the city of
Santa Fe
, a sponsor and promoter of BTTW, decided a "Community/Family Ride" was more appropriate, or
less likely to generate a lawsuit and upset the police
.
And while it's all well and good that the organizers will offer free "Youth helmet fitting" on Friday in the Railyard, there's unfortunately no class on "
Why One Shouldn't Ride Against Traffic While Wearing An iPod
." Perhaps that's covered in Thursday's "Bicycle Traffic Skills and Maintenance Basics" class.
