PHOTOS: ‘Stupid’ bikes light up the night

Vashon’s Stupid Bike Club hosted Stupid Bike Night during the gallery cruise Friday, when some 30 cyclists on an array of decked out bikes rode from the Open Space through town.

Kevin Kim-Murphy, one the of club members, noted that “stupid” equates to awesome and said that the intent of the event is to “build the stupidest bike you can and get on it and ride it and share it with people.” The event is family-friendly and open to all community members. Mark your calendars and start planning for the next Stupid Bike Night: the first Friday in September in 2018.
