SF Big Wheel race

Easter Sunday saw the annual BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel) race (caution: annoying song starts as soon as you hit the page - turn down your speakers if you don't want to bother the dude in the next cubicle) down Lombard St. in SF.

In case you didn't know, Lombard St is the famous "World's Crookedest Street", so incredibly steep it's one of the very few places on Earth where you'll find switchbacks on an urban street.

So, if you're in SF next Easter and your medical insurance is paid up, get one of the old-fashioned plastic-wheel Big Wheels (no rubber wheels allowed) and go try to break some bones with the big boys.
