Not only was I surprised by the sheer number of people on the ride, but the different kinds of people who were riding. There were a lot of young kids (and I mean really young) who already knew how to handle a bike. There were older people on slow bikes, younger people on fast bikes and others on fun, silly bikes. People were riding mountain bikes, road bikes, recumbent bikes and tandem bikes. The great thing about the Moonlight Ramble is that it doesn’t matter how old you are or what kind of bike you ride, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or an experienced cyclist. It’s about more than that -- it’s about being part of something bigger than you are. It’s about riding with other cyclists and catching enthusiasm for the sport.
