Event Photography: Fall 2008 Bicycle Swap Meet
November 18th, 2008This past Saturday, thousands of bicyclists converged on Fourth Avenue near Downtown Tucson.
While many of the two-wheeled legions rode to the semi-annual Bicycle Swap Meet, there was more looking than riding. With so many people gathered in one place, it was hard to get more than a couple of pedal strokes in. Besides, there were too many interesting bicycles to admire. Let's start with this 1938 Mead Ranger...
Or maybe your taste runs more toward bicycle parts sculpture...
Or, perhaps, you came in search of slightly used tires for your mountain bike...
Mix performance art with sewing, throw in a pedal- or solar-powered Singer, add some original music, and you have P.Nosa. And did I mention that he does requests? Tell him what comes to mind, he'll be off and sewing...
Uh-oh, does this guy have a death wish?
I'm pleased to report that the above is not the last photo of this man seen alive. But, please folks, don't try this yourself. Hitching rides by hanging onto motorized vehicles is not smart.
