Santa parade Ottawa 2009

There was an event on Dec 5th where 22 human powered vehicles (and a few e-bikes) participated in a parade. The bicycles ranged from homebuilt tall bike to a short wheel base recumbent bike being pulled along by Rudolph and a mini Santa. Trikes were well represented in both delta and tadpole designs. Blackburnpete was riding his Sun EZ-3, wingbatwu on his Trice and me on my Catrike road. The other trike is one we have nicknamed "hammerhead", in some of the videos you can see the operator lifting the wheels off the pavement. BTW the ring on the front of hammerhead contains leds frozen in distilled water.




When the photos come more description will be available. All particpants had fun and are making plans for our local St. Patty's day parade.
