    Every year a small group of us get together and decorate our bikes with lights and ride around town and look at all the Christmas lights. This year we rode for an hour and a half (only 11 miles) and leisurely enjoyed all the lights. We got lots of happy holiday honks (and a few unhappy ones) and really enjoyed ourselves. Lots and lots of layers and some hot chocolate in the bottle cages made it fun!

    I love this idea!

    Zen, I remember going downtown to see the department store windows when I was a kid! And I still drive around to look at Christmas lights, though not as faithfully as I did when the kid was small.

    I always have a line of cars behind me (I always wanted to lead a parade) because I'm looking at lights.

    I was downtown for the annual Xmas Parade. There were so many Brownies and Cub Scouts I figured anyone who made half an effort to look like they belonged could line up and get in on this.
    Hmmm...

    That article is GREAT! I'm going to save it and use it for tips next year. The bikes in the picture and on Jim in the video look so amazing- they put my little lights to shame. Thanks for sharing that!!!!
