Check out these images that our friend Jack “Ghost Rider” Sweeney posted to BikeCommuters dot Com yesterday:

The races and the associated ECO.lution festival that stretched from Franklin Street all the way down to the Riverwalk @ Curtis Hixon Park made for an impressive event and a truly exciting day. It was great to get outside on such a beautiful afternoon and see our new and old friends from Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium, SWFBUD, Give & Take, the Tampa Bay Bike Co-Op and 66 Fixed.
The Tampa Downtown Partnership did a great job with getting us all organized.
Thanks for coming out!

Update (3/15/2010)

Where: Parking lot adjacent to the St Pete Times Forum (West side of the plaza…directly across the street from the Marriott)
When: 10:00 am
What: As part of Florida Bike Month, City Bike Tampa in conjunction with Tampa Bay Cycle are offering a riding skills class this Saturday, March 13 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m in the parking lot at the St. Pete Times Forum.
The class will include a forum on cyclists legal rights and responsibilities, urban riding, and safety. There will be a hands-on obstacle course and a ride through downtown. Along with the free knowledge you’ll gain, all participants receive a FREE accessory just for participating (we’ve got lots of swag like lights, helmets, baskets and saddle bags).
