When your bicycle takes you hostage!

It turns out that bicycles can be a pushy lot with specific demands.  Over the last 4-5 days bicycles repeatedly took us (wifey, myself, and friends) hostage and forced us to go to various places around Reno and Sparks.


For instance last week it was from work to yoga (hence the yoga mats in tow), and then across the street to try out the new bike racks at Public House.  The bicycles found these racks very comfy and forced us to have a beer while they enjoyed the nice racks.


Turns out the preachers bicycle (and a few friends bicycles) also forced them to ride to public house that evening.  Those bicycles are crafty!

Then bicycles took us to Noble pie company, so we could consume delicious calories.  Another tricky move by the bicycles, since they know that if we have eaten, we can continue pedal for miles and miles.


Later in the weekend, the bicycles got restless again. 


Like the little two wheeled terrorists they are.  They first forced us to the bank to withdraw funds.  Turns out that they had big plans for us, starting with a a ride to Sparks which just happened to be hosting Rib Fest. 

Once at Rib Fest we temporarily subdued our captors with bike locks to a post next door to Great Basin Brewery.  We enjoyed piles of ribs and some tasty beers before they broke free and forced us to ride them back to Reno.


At this point in our bicycle captivity, I apparently stopped documenting the torture with a camera...but the bikes forced us to several other locations before releasing us back at the house.  These included (in no particular order):




Val's Midtown Lounge

So yeah, bicycles obviously enjoy an eclectic mix of pubs, dive bars, and late night cheap eats.  It definitely keeps their pedaling captives slightly intoxicated and full of food to continue on the exploration of Reno!

  1. And heaven help you if they ever find out that dogs can be attached to them to run alongside for entertainment! You'll never get any rest or peace as then you have not only the bikes to deal with but the dogs as well!!
