Remember when we told you about the BYOBW? Yes, that big-wheeled event during which grown-ups carouse all day long, trudge to the top of Lombard Street (the world’s second crookedest street), and then zoom down it in an inebriated whoosh of plastic and frenzy? Though no Gadling-ers were dispatched to observe the race, I’m pleased to report that our more technically-inclined siblings at Autoblog not only traveled to the event, but they designed and built a BW to race! So cool.
Evidently, this year’s BYO — featuring 100+ entrants and more than 2000 spectators — was the largest ever. If you want to see grown-ups dressed up, careening down crooked, cobbled Lombard, check out Autoblog’s amusing 93-image gallery and video from the event.
Hungry for more? The always-excellent Laughing Squid covered the event, too, and has a fun report about it and an exhaustive round-up of participant photos and videos.
Next year: Team Gadling will lead the charge. Va-room!
