We're looking for people to join a parade 'float' for the Columbus Festival of Lights Parade on Saturday.  It's sponsored by the Columbus Bicycle Co-op, and we're looking for unique bikes that have been built to ride along and have a good time.
 
Our theme is...um..well, we built a pull-behind music cart with a car stereo, 16 speakers, a car battery, and 3 subwoofers.
 
Then we put a giant jackrabbit on top.
 
Add some lights, some fire, and crazy music and it should give people something to talk about during dinner Saturday night.
 
We have 4 tall bikes, unicycle, a small bike (two kids bikes welded together), a chopper bike, some fixies... we're looking for more people to either pilot or bring a bike with lights.  A moonlander or pugsy might be fun to see riding around.  Wheelies and flip attempts are strongly encouraged.
 
If you have something in your garage that's been gathering dust because it was rediculous in the first place, duct tape some lights to it and come out.  Wear something stupid, and we'll have a good time.  Rumor has it that adult beverages will be enjoyed after.

Checkin before 5:00 at the Columbus COB parking lot (accross 5th from hotel indigo).  PM or post if you're able to come out, or if more details would be helpful.

Great Fett, what are you riding?  Do you want a tall bike - we have 4 total between Loran and Ken.. it might be a little tricky to ride so slow, might be a bit of hopping on/off.

I may give a tall bike a try.

Awesome.  There are a couple - one has a 5ft front fork and is impossible to ride, much less turn.  Loran has another down in his basement that's a little more practical; we'll get it ready to go tonight.  We'll toss a bunch of bikes in the back of his truck and meet people at the COB parking lot around 5:00 in case others show up.  I think you'll be able to hear us  8)
 
Might want to bring a couple lights.
 
Awesome Fett - bring your helmet and jumping shoes.
