    Friday Night Ride No. 100
    Join us!

    100 Fridays.  Save for a few rainy days, we’ve been at it every week for two years, eight seasons and over 1000 kilometers.

    Larry on the Banana Boat

    We humbly request you come along and celebrate our centennial.  Let’s see if we can’t round up at least 100 people to make this an even more interesting occasion.  So be sure to invite anyone you know along for the cruise.  All you need is a bike.

    Streets at Night

    There’s more!  In the spirit of the occasion we’ll have beer for 1元 between 19:00 and 19:30.  There’s also a special prize we’ll be handing out.  If a 100 people come, this mean’s you’ve got a 1/100 shot at walking home with a little special something.

    And having done this so many times we can promise that when things are to the order of 100, there’s bound to be all manner of cool unexpected things.  In short, it’ll be an awesome Friday.  See you there!

    Yes, we rent bikes every day we are open (Tues-Sun).  I suggest coming earlier in the day on Friday as our rentals are likely to go fast.

    We have a selfie stick you are welcome to borrow.  All we ask is that you share the footage with us.

    So word is that PLGRM (projection arts specialists) has some insane new light set up they’ll be bringing along.

    Music & visuals!  Should be cool.

    Despite the rain, we still rode.  Besides preventing PLGRM from setting up its lights, we were otherwise unaffected.  In fact, we still managed around 100 people!

    About 10 folks walked off with some sweet new lights and other goodies.  And as promised we unexpectedly found ourselves in the middle of a dance video during our halfway stop.

    One of the things advertised was “some manner of cool unexpected thing”.  This time round we happened to find a dance video being filmed when we stopped halfway to rest.

    Oh awesome :). A friend of mine asked will the beer special also happen at the end of the ride?

    Unfortunately the deal on beer is reserved for special occasions.  Otherwise it’s a paltry 5元 / bottle.  Still won’t break the bank!

    Definitely come join and bring your friends. This is always a great time, especially now that the weather is so nice.

    We rent bicycles.  Rentals are only available at a daily rate.  100元 a day with a 500元 deposit.  We also need I.D.  We’ll give you a lock and helmet with the rental if you’d like.

    We’re located on Xiaotian South St.  Just north of the intersection of Yulin North Rd. and 1st Ring Rd.

    Or check out listing on ChengduPlaces!
