2010 Bring Your Own Big Wheel Photo Highlights

This weekend was one of my favorite local events here in San Francisco, Bring Your Own Big Wheel (aka BYOBW). This year conditions were treacherous with heavy rain. The weather didn’t deter anyone from strapping on their costumes, straddling a tricycle meant for a small child and taking life and limb into their own hands as they descended down one of San Francisco’s curviest streets. Below is one of my favorite photos from the day and just below is a slide show of all my favorites 2010 BYOBW photo.

Also check back shortly as details to a new lens rental giveaway will be out later today.

Bring Your Own Big Wheel 2008 Photo Highlights

Today’s Bring Your Own Big Wheel event in San Francisco was in a different location than last years BYOBW on Lombard Street, but it was just as fun. The crowd is always a blast to photograph. Below are a few favorites and more of my photos from the event can be seen in this Flash slideshow BYOBW Photo Highlights. Enjoy!

Check out the LaughingSquid site for more pics and a video (with a brief cameo with me in action). Scott (aka LaughingSquid) was next to me during most of the runs. Great guy and a great site.

Bring Your Own Big Wheel 2007

This weekend in San Francisco was one of the whackier events, Bring Your Own Big Wheel (BYOBW). The curviest street, Lombard Street, is shut down for 1 hour so daredevils can take their fate into their own hands by riding down on plastic wheeled tricycles. No rubber wheeled vehicles are allowed at any time. This year thousands were in attendance and hundreds took part. My only regret was not finding a Big Wheel in time for the event so I too could make the ride. In any event it was hilarious to witness so here are the highlights along with a link to a larger set of images:
