Muskegon Bike time . . .

 we are happy for muskegon

this was the sixth year for
muskegon bike time

 thousands of bike enthusiasts

convened in the downtown area
this past weekend

it is not my thing    it is not our thing

but it is the thing of many

the roar of cycles
could be heard from afar
100,000 people attended
60,000 bikes

 

the countryside bike parade

traveled not far from our house

we rode our (pedal) bikes

to be there when they went by

we waved and cheered

as the bikers waved back

over 400 bikers were in this parade

why can a parade make us well up a bit,

it sure did for me

bikers who participated in the ride

donated ten dollars each

 monies were donated to
Every Woman's Place

a muskegon domestic violence shelter





bike time
has brought some good things to muskegon
the downtown was alive
restaurants shops vendors
benefited from the thousands of visitors

 

a thank you to the

originators, volunteers, participants

who have made this asuccessful

 annual muskegon event 

it will happen again
