More bikes and vaudeville

On one bank of the river fifteen dollars would get you into the arena and probably some free stickers. The other bank had neither the arena nor television cameras but a more interesting spectacle nevertheless. No jousting or dancing girls on little pink bikes, but their were clowns and more fire.
I arrived at the Tour De Fat about halfway through the Handsome Little Devils show. In just that portion I witnessed fire juggling on pogo sticks, chainsaw, bowling ball and raw egg juggling and a ball on a string. Much better is the video on their site.
Some other sights: vendors on stilts, bikes and more bikes. And that’s just in the hour I was there.

Skateboards and bikes are better at nights. 0 comments.
in that last picture, on the yellow framed bike…are those car tires on the bike? seriously, why can’t people in portland just ride normal bikes? haha
majafa: Apparently it’s because people in Portland are crazy.
PDF: Ball on a string? Was the string attached to a cup?
There was another bike that had even fatter tires.
I couldn’t stop thinking of the ball in a cup. But no, there was no cup, just a paddle.
