Save the day? Heck, save the planet! Robb Rasmussen of Sioux River Bicycles and Fitness is hoping to get one thousand cyclists together to ride in the Hobo Day Parade on Saturday, October 24. One thousand cyclists! In one place! In South Dakota!I know some naysayer out there will grouse that Robb is just trying to make money off the environmental movement. Fine. I hope promoting green energy and green lifestyles will make Robb a millionaire. Twice over. With customers who live longer because they are riding bikes instead of sitting in their SUVs.
Hobo Day, Saturday, October 24—1000 bicycles! Make it happen!
Now, if we can just get Dr. Chicoine to bring goodies for everyone in that big basket. Maybe some organic sweet corn? ;-)

p.s.: More Brookings bike love: SDSU Students' Association is working on a campus bike-sharing plan. Pedals for the people!
This would be very cool. I'll have to lobby my daughters to join in.

Chicoine and the grand pooba want us to go. Same as last year. Did you see us last year? I marched in the Hobo Day parade as a member of the Estelline marching band for 4 years and two years as a member of Sioux Valley. Been watching Hobo Day parades since the 50's and I think a little social statement of
bike riders would be a very good thing. my name is Robb Rasmussen
Thanks for the clarification, Robb! I figured you and the president had a plan. Aim high, and pedal hard!

Unfortunately I'm busy with family and extended family this weekend. My best to Robb in his quest! Would be great to line the streets with bicycles!
