A Bicycle Bash Look Back From 2006 to 2010

The Bicycle Bash started on Oct. 29, 2006 when David Luppino of Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium teamed with Alan Snel to stage the first Bash on the terrace outside the St. Pete Times Forum before a late-Sunday afternoon hockey game between the Lightning and the San Jose Sharks,

In 2007, SWFBUD was born and the Bash moved from the Forum to Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg.

In 2007, Jack Sweeney of bikecommuters.com offered some outstanding coverage, including the previous photo and this post on his web site.


In 2008, Adam Beland and his Bicycle Outfitters crew biked all their supplies to Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg.

Check out the 2008 coverage here.

In 2009, we moved from Vinoy Park to North Straub Park in St. Petersburg.

Here's a photo montage of that event.

We had a lot of fun bicycle visitors that day.


In 2010, we moved from St. Petersburg in Pinellas County to Flatwoods Park in Hillsborough County and enjoyed the scenic setting. It was a gorgeous day at Flatwoods and people enjoyed themselves.
