MEET HACKNEY DOWNS, SAT 7TH JULY 2012, 8 PM
FORMAL DRESS REQUIRED – BRING A DATE, OR DON’T
RAIN OR SHINE
RIDE ENDS AT UNSKINNY BOP PROM – GET TICKETS IN ADVANCE FOR THIS QUEER PROM DANCE PARTY
Grab a tux and corsage, it’s Bike Prom! Based on the painful American coming-of-age tradition, this ride requires cheesy formal wear and awkward photo poses. We’ll be cruising around listening to slowdance hits, gossiping about each other’s dates and sneaking vodka into the punch until the small hours of the morning.
Critical Mass-style ride will meet at Hackney Downs and meander, leaderless, until it ends near Bethnal Green. Although this ride is kid friendly, there may be alcohol present. Note that formal wear is absolutely required, preferably ill fitting and containing a high percentage of synthetic material. You are encouraged to bring a date (or two), especially if you spend the weeks beforehand mustering up the courage to ask your first choice, who inevitably turns you down and leaves you either going with your cousin or staying at home in your rented tuxedo. It’s the painful American highschool experience you never had (or wish you hadn’t)… on bikes!
