My wife likes riding bikes, and she likes LED and glowy things, so she started riding in several LED night bike rides, where the people cover their bikes with LEDs. She's made so many friends there, and with my tech expertise we've created so many LED things - it's kind of our new hobby. Now she's the belle of the LED ball. It was a very easy place to make new friends of all ages.
- thot_experiment 2y agoLovely! I go to at least one of the bike parties every month (eastbay, sf, san jose or santa cruz) and I too love putting LEDs on my bike (my wheels are encoders :P). Are you local? always fun to talk with fellow LED enthusiasts. To all of you reading who haven't been to a bike party please come out, it's amazing! It's usually about ~10 miles of biking over 4 hours, with two ~45m stops for dancing, usually at a park.
- bsimpson 2y agoThere's also the Midnight Mystery Ride: similar, but in the middle of the night
- leptons 2y agoWe're in southern California. There's lots of night bike rides, all over the place. Long Beach, Venice Beach, Hollywood, anywhere there's people to spectate - they don't ride to not be seen, lol.
- tjoff 2y ago> started riding in several LED night bike rides Several what now? That is lovely though, need a pretty populated area for niches like that to surface. And I do feel like it is one of the things Americans are better than most at.
- bsimpson 2y agoThere's an organization called Bike Party in many of the Bay Area cities that does these rides monthly.
- leptons 2y ago>need a pretty populated area for niches like that to surface The potential for finding new friends, or engaging in all kinds of activities is going to be better in big cities. There are LED bike rides in cities all over the world. I'm sure there's even a few in smaller towns.
