BYOBW: Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race (Photos)

Originally held on Lombard Street, the BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel) Race has since moved to the somewhat more (or less?) twisty terrain on Potrero Hill at Vermont and 20th streets. This weekend, daredevils came in droves with their own Big Wheel or fun-size riding device (e.g., an office chair) to plunge down one of San Francisco's steepest hills. Here are some images from Sunday's breathtaking race. Enjoy.

Yes, breathtaking.

Sometimes you just say things just to be nice.

Glad to see it actually took place!

Yeah, I thought it wasn't happening or I might actually have gone.

It took place and was glorious! The organizers really worked hard to pull off a great event, this was my favorite SF event that I can think of in the past 3 or so years.

how did the neighbors take it, though?

I didn't see any tensions or encounter anyone who was unhappy with the event, so I am not sure. It seemed like people were sticking to the posted rules.

im so sad i missed this! great pictures at least!
