Ah, summer. And the very first Skyride.

The Very First Skyride!
Slow to start, but then excellent. Pretty amazing for a first try, this event was put on by GO Bike Buffalo.  I am very proud of them and thrilled to have them in our city.
It was unfortunate that riders were not able to stop on top of the Skyway, which is normally a car only expressway bridge that soars over the city and the shipping canals and dominates the skyline. Rumor had it that someone had attempted to commit suicide by jumping off City Hall and the police/politicians were worried one of the Skyriders might do the same.

With the event came one free beer, which they lovingly poured into my empty water bottle : )
