Tuesday Cruise

Posted on August 7, 2008August 7, 2008 by Staff

Cruisers take the time for introductions and chatter outside Johnny’s before the ride.On the first Tuesday of every month, area bicyclists gather in the evening to cruise together for Cruiser Tuesday. In the words of organizer and handlebar DJ Matt Lee, “We bike-splice advocacy, arts and a lost flair for the street party.” The mass of mellow, “funky-formal” costumed riders takes off from Johnny’s on West Main at about 7:30 and cruises the streets and campus as a reminder that riding bicycles is simply fun. Tuesday was the third anniversary of the event. To learn more, see the website at cruisertuesday.blogspot.com or show up next month!
