The HandleBar

Our awesome friends, the Staffords, set up a night in downtown Indy to rent the Handlebar.

The Handlebar is basically a bike that 16 people can pedal around while drinking (with a responsible employee steering and braking through traffic).

 There are several spots where you don't have to pedal.  The "bartender" spot (in this picture) is one of them.  There's a 3 seat bench in the back where you don't pedal.  Also the seats on the wheels don't pedal.

 Andrew, Katie and I started the first leg of the tour in the bench seat because everyone wanted to pedal. (This was one of the most fought-over seats after everyone realized how hard it was to pedal.)  The neon blue lights made for weird looking selfies.  #nofilter #justoddlighting

 Husband and Wife selfie! Andrew is sporting his Movember 'stache again this year. Go here if you are interested in donating to an awesome cause!!! (Prostate and Testicular cancer)

 Oddly enough as we were pedaling around, another Handlebar came up behind us.  We pedaled as fast as could but…

 They still passed us!! NOOOO!!!! (Travis is sporting his stache too.  He's on Andrew's team. Please donate! Already up to $220 in the first week!)

 On the back of our Handlebar was an orange triangle since we were a slow moving vehicle.  I sent this picture to my mom and she wrote back, "Prove 'em wrong!"  Obviously we didn't if we were passed by another Handlebar.  Fail.

 Our last stop was at the circle.  Photo op time! Ladies only!

 Now the whole group of 16!  It was 40 degrees out that night.  But with all the pedaling (and beer drinking), none of us were cold at all!

 A couple of riders decided to hop off at a stop light and have an impromptu Chinese Firedrill. I do not believe they saw the cop before they hopped off and started running (and one of runners WAS a cop!).  Luckily the cop gave zero craps about us running around in traffic.  He had more important things to do.  :-) It's downtown Indy for goodness sake.

This is a picture from the end of the night.  I was getting ready for bed in the bathroom and came out to this scene.  Charlotte looked a bit scared.  :-) 

What a great night! We hope to do it again sometime since we had so much fun.  Yay for doing barcardio! ;-)
