Atomic Cycles Presents: Bomb Squad!

Every third Friday of the month, Atomic Cycles in Van Nuys hosts a unique downhill bicycle rally...on kids bikes!

From Paul, owner of Atomic Cycles:

"We want to avoid an escalation of riders throwing money into bikes that should cost no more than ten dollars. Your bike should be a bike that can be easily replaced and will often be adorned with cartoon characters or images of pre-teen pop stars, in other words: junk."

"We will be going down hill in masse; bike handling skill and a lack of self-preservation are paramount in this endeavor!"

Here are the Rules of play:

• Your bike must have 16” wheels and must be in a stock configuration.
• No upgrades except the addition of a caliper style brake may be added.
• No other upgrades or altering of stock equipment including tires may be made to the bikes. You can of course adjust your seat/stem/bars/brakes to your liking, not like it will help.
• You are responsible for lighting, we are going to be doing night runs so good lighting is important. You are also responsible for your protective gear, helmets are mandatory, and everything else is encouraged.

Meet in front of Starbucks at 8PM, ride around 8:30.
