Sad Thursday


One fun thing about living in Boulder is the Cruiser Ride every Thursday. Anywhere from dozens to hundreds of Boulderites clad in costume mount their cruisers and weave their way though our streets yelling "HAPPY THURSDAY", ringing their bells and spreading general cheer. This activity of course attracts a fair amount of belligerent Boulder Punks (read highschoolers and college kids) in addition to the free-spirit/hippy/yuppy/new-age "residents". No longer open to the public due to traffic issues and underage drinking, Cruiser Ride is over. While I have yet to join in, it was something I was planning - but now have lost the opportunity - that is unless I happen to make friends with the right people.
