Oftentimes the Full Moon Fiasco in May is Prom. This year it is not.
If you can peel yourself away from Cherokee Street on Saturday May 5th, join your Fucking Bike Club for Full Moon Fiasco #87. Meet at Turtle Park around 10:30pm the ride leaves at 11:00pm sharp.
This ride is seeking someone to plan it. If you think you are up to the task, and have an idea for a fun ride, say so in the comments or click on the "email the FBC" button on the right.
-Lee
I nominate the one and only Katy Miller. It is time the FBC was lead by a firecrotch! Flame on FBC! FLAME ON!
ReplyDeletewhat's up with FBCs when i'm out of town? also, someone (other than me) should start a non-FBC weekend bike ride.
ReplyDeleteAre we still going to do prom?! I just got the most kickass outfit that I've been saving for the springtime promenade.
ReplyDeleteOh, we're still doing prom! Just you don't worry. Start whatever regimen you need to prepare your mind, body, and spirit for at least 10 hours of killing it.
ReplyDeleteGrant's Trail! Party island! Bri-Guy concussion!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, that was a fun ride. Someone should try to ride a log across gravois creek, naked, on a pista. Again.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is Cinco De Mayo... Sombreros & Tequila ride?
ReplyDeleteTour de Grove needs volunteers to be at the intersections to tell people where they can cross the course.

I WILL BE THERE!

I have an "idea" for a ride- it involves riding on il-3 on the shoulder for a minute, and one surveillance camera? So not for the faint of heart. It's an industrial park in an old military base? It has a very nicely paved straight away? Places to explore? Mreh, maybe not appropriate https://shop.ragbrai.com/product.php?productid=17016&cat=297&page=1
ReplyDeleteIn the state of Missouri, bikes *are* legally allowed on the highway.
ReplyDeleteI've alwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalways wanted to use this right, even if just for the distance of ONE exit (hop on, ride to the next offramp, hop back off), but I'd never do it alone and nobody else will do it with me :(
Safety in numbers~?
They r but in illinois its agaibst the.law
DeleteIL-3 at that time of night might have a single car on it
ReplyDeletethe group could stop at the Robin's Nest on the way
... but the Full Moon is May 6th?
ReplyDeletei say we all go poop on a street then pee all over lee
ReplyDeleteI will start to doubt "The Greatest Club In The World" title if we don't go back to the Robin's Nest in the near future. That's been one of the best destinations, if not the best, in the past two years.
ReplyDeleteI've ridden across the MLK bridge before - you learn not to do things by doing them. at least i do.
ReplyDeleteRoboin'snEstt? rOBIN"snEST!
ReplyDelete...... I remember opening my eyes underwater and seeing all this rebar that I had just missed impaling my body in various places with. 1969 Chicago made Scwinn Paramount
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest we have a party in the middle of the street, if not an additional prom, _____ your theme here. _____
at the tour de grove next Saturday.
You can start right now and stop whenever you want.
I just want you to know we can still se other people.
let's call it a dia and do it all. fuck prom. cinco shit all the way. that means loud colors and loud people. me hee Co.
ReplyDeleteWell, so there was one full arrest ....... he deserved it though. Talked his way into handcuffs. He's my roommate, but an idiot. His girlfriend has real facial scars due to being and hardcore , and i swam in the Mississippi river with baby J. Fuck this really is The Greatest Club In The World. Anyone else have a good time or did I fail you all?
ReplyDeleteOverall, an amazing experience.
ReplyDeleteBut why did we stop after only 15 minutes on Jamieson? Was that necessary? And what's with the d-bags who like to ridicule people? REAL BRO!!!
The guy that got arrested did have it coming, what a dipshit. His girlfriend frightened me. She is scary lookin. And way to lead us to the Arch with no plan afterwards. Good thinking!!!
The 'super' moon was disappointing, but the weather was great, so all in all, a good ride. There may have been no real route or plan, but by the time I got back to my car, I had tracked over 20 miles, so that's a good ride. Who doesn't love riding a bike at night whilst drinking Miller High Life?!? :)
ReplyDeleteI helped two people out with flat tires and lost the roaming wave that is today's, and then rode home, which was cool. While there were people that showed concern, 90% rode past.
ReplyDeleteBeing a douchebag is not why I want to hang out with the fbc. I can do plenty of that on my own time.
The public will learn to love you when you put an electric fence around all three rings (pros, rookies, first timers) as the carnival passes by
People that know how to party hard and ride smart... The ones that remember to bring a tube for themselves, and a friend... But still find the time to ride straight thru shattered car glass at 10 o'clock in the afternoon, drunk on some bottle with a label written in Turkish and a PBR.
People that put others first.
Also, consider this... Which is worse, the douchebag, or not calling out the douchebag for being a douchebag?
I implore you, don't be a part of the douchebag network. Yes they are "everywhere" , But we don't want them too mingle with each other.
*"that is today's FBC..."
ReplyDeletepersonally i never stop to help people with bike repairs and equipment, but it's mainly because i have no idea what i'm doing or how to fix a bike. god bless those who a) know what they are doing and b) are nice enough to stop and help! --- who got arrested? any good story involved? i departed the ride at broadway & russell i just went home.
ReplyDeleteThis fbc was really similar to almost all fbc rides, except it went faster, and didn't end in a bar. Whoever thinks that dropping off at the arch is an oddity, a lot rides have no final destination. There was a route, which I believe was supposed to follow the southern city limits. Pretty sure it is commonplace in the fbc for people to pull dick moves, ride unsafely, and not help others with the fix of flats. that is the fbc. Not for kids. It was a good ride, and good proof that you really can't fuck with it too bad. it will stay what it is as long the world doesn't end too soon.
ReplyDeleteIf you had trouble keeping up with the tall bike with a 20" front wheel, sorry. If you got a flat and had to go home, shit happens. We probably stopped on jamesion to fill our booze. The arch was a great spot to end it. Its fucking st. louis, why not at the arch? Still the Greatest Club In The World. Even the people that went to jail and smashed their faces had a good time. There should be no hostility over riding bicycles. Its supposed to be fun.
ReplyDeleteIf you were hanging out in the opposite lanes of traffic when we stopped on Jamieson at Lindenwood Park, get out of the road and into the park next time! I know you think you're safe in the mob of bikers, but I assure you that the smallest car would have no problem mowing you all down. Let's try to use some common sense when we go biking on full moons.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if your bike is from the 1980's, you should take it to the nearest bike shop and replace the 1980's tubes and tires that originally came on the bike. Some of us are happy to help someone with a flat, but help yourself first by visiting a bike shop before the next ride. Again, let's use some common sense. New, modern tubes and tires work much better than the original set of dry rotted tires on your 1985 Schwinn Paramount.
Agreed, why do folks just stay in the street when we stop? Seems as though they are totally oblivious. Speaking of oblivious, captain safety should be banned from fbc rides. This kid is a rel shit-heel, we should duct tape him to a tree before we go on the next ride. Dude doesn't deserve the term "safety". From now on I suggest "captain shitheel". I saw him try to get hit by making a right turn onto choteau from broadway, around the LEFT side of an suv, just after the light turned green. Hey retard, a girl was hitand killed there last week. Show a modicum of decency you effin douche. Seriously, I know that the fbc is not an exclusive club, but lets exclude this asshole before he gets us on the news. So bring some duct tape next month and lets tape this kid to a tree so he can't ruin the ride.
ReplyDeleteSeriously that is a pretty brillant idea! Ducktape, heh?
ReplyDeleteI'll bring a roll.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking over the FBC after Full Moon Fiasco #100. There will be several changes once Lee retires.
ReplyDeleteFirst, you will have to fill out an application if you'd like to participate in Full Moon Fiascos. A selection committee will determine whether or not you get to become of member of The Fucking Bike Club 2.0.
Second, each ride will leave from a new, secret location to prevent nonmembers from crashing the club's events.
Third, members of the new club will be encouraged to slash the tires and quickly abandon any uninvited rider that joins the group.
Fourth, club members will be subjected to a yearly review to assess the qualities that each member brings to the group. Members that are deemed to not be bringing enough quality assets to The Fucking Bike Club 2.0 will have their membership revoked.
Please prepare yourself for these inevitable changes.
Please be aware that many of you will not make the cut for The Fucking Bike Club 2.0.
Signed,
Your Future Leader
Get your facts straight before u speak i was forced into going into.the lane on choutea it was me either me speed up and get in front of him or me take a fall and i wasnt about to eat pavement theres alot of people i even see on the rides doing more danerous shit than me so get your facts before u preech thank u from safty
ReplyDelete--Safety, The facts is, you are a dumbfuck. Dont come on the rides anymore. No one likes you.
ReplyDeleteThis is saftys wife talkin i see alot of you disrespectng the road i see a guy arrested on fbc i see no obe following to one lane i see yall blocking streets and getting kicked out of parks by the police alot so how u all gonna dis safty when your all doing stuff against the law he may be wild n crazy but hes a dam great husband you all by doing that stuff getting artested n stuff puts bad psity on yout fbc and cyclist in genral ive seen people piss off drivers in the ride not just him so u all have no rite to judge safty
ReplyDeleteFuture leader, If that happens I will start te Fbc 2.1 and meet at turtle park and go around starting bicycle gang wars with fbc2.0 We will destroy and be better than everyone else ...... isnt that what bicycles are about? Or I'll just ride my bike with my friends like i always do. I take all of this statement back if im let in the FBC2.0
ReplyDeleteMy good friend had his bike stolen sat nite/sun morn. It's a very tall mid 70s brown motobecane mirage with newer rims and tires, 1x7 speeds. If you see it on the street or for sale plz comment and ill get you contact info. Thx kindly Fbc.
ReplyDeleteOmg some of u really need to grow up and stop picking on eachother this aint pre school
ReplyDeleteFBC2.0 will war with all other bike gangs, and emerge victorious.
ReplyDeleteFirst on our death list will be the Wolfpack Hustle.
Omg fbc sounds like a bunch of whining immature mis behaved kids yall just need to grow the fuck up you all sound like a bunch of stupid ass retards it should be called the retard bicycle club cause thats how you all act
ReplyDeleteFrom the shit ive seen on here and the shit ive seen on rides people getting arrested bicycles blocking streets going in parks after hours the excesive drinking and not obeying traffic laws you all make me fucken sick i was there when that guy got arrested and he was helpin lead the ride come on your all making us bicyclist that obey the laws look like asses and btw ive seen more than one of you cut cars off and cuss people out im goin to the chief of police and the mayor to see what can be done about everyones wreckless shit its not just one of you doing it its a big majority of you
ReplyDeleteHaha. He's going to the Chief of Police and the Mayor! Oh no!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for version 2.0 to start. This club needs to weed out some of its members.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that this gathering of people does is remind people that there are cyclists out there in great numbers. I want St. Louis drivers to know how many people ride bikes in this city. I've been hit by cars twice in since December. I was obeying all traffic laws and had more than lights than most on my bike. Both times were because the driver didn't see me. I would rather have a driver pass me and scream for me to get off the road because they hate cyclists than the person that hits me because they have no idea that I'm there. Most of these people would have been drinking in small groups, probably riding bikes. At least they had safety in numbers. There are always gonna be people that stand out and make a group look worse than it is. The man that climbed the rail in front of the arch made a statement to his friends (that told him not to do it it). His statement was " I am a grown adult and I am responsible for my own actions" Point some rides are a little more rambunctious than others but all in all most people have a good time and no real harm was done due to the FBC. We raise awareness that there really are that many people on bikes on a Saturday night. So please go to the mayor, but talk to him about our city's education issues or how you would like to get involved in community agriculture to help feed your neighbors.
ReplyDeleteSaturday night got way out of line with shooting fireworks off in the park people getting arrested and a whole lot of other shit i for one say stop picking on capt safty i see alot of you all doing more dangerous shit than he does your all just giving us cyclist a bad name i mean you really thing its mature a grown abult to not follow a federal park rangers orders and also blocking streets and not stayin to one lane and a bunch of littering to it just got way to out of hand since lee wasnt there
ReplyDeleteCaptain Safety is a problem. But Once the weather gets nice, the group swells with people that are problems. For every awesome Lifetime Member for Life, there is a jackass Doing everything the FBC doesn't stand for.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame we're such an inclusive group because a bunch of people should've been barred from coming back a long time ago.
I don't know what the solution is, but I'm sure that the more run ins with law enforcement that result in pairs of handcuffs coming out will only make the city police less likely to cut our group any slack in the future. And that's a shame because they've been pretty lenient with our group in the past.
Ps-Props to the dick that got arrested. You really have to be an asshole to get a city cop riled up enough to give a fuck drag someone to the station. Fuck you and your willingness to be a dumbass on our Full Moon Fiasco. Don't bother coming back. You won't be missed.
It was a federal park service ranger not a city cop
DeleteCapt safty is not all bad yes he does some shit but he aint the dumb fuck that got arrested by park rangers actually safty is kinda awsome you all need to back off him your the idiots setting off fireworks in the park having the police show up all the time cause you all do dumb shit in parks and blocking the street and ive seen other idiots get arrested on fbc before stop bitching about one person and take a look at all the dumb stupid shit you all do
ReplyDeleteYou all sound like a bunch of fucken retards
ReplyDeleteWorst club ever.
ReplyDeletecan i be a member of both FBC 2.0 and the original FBC? i just like riding my bike in a big group. is that so difficult?
ReplyDeleteIt needs to be called law breaking retard drunk stupid club
ReplyDeleteFull moon... what's the other word?
ReplyDeleteFuckfest
DeleteI just talked to the second dist police captain and there gonna be waiting for anyone to tress pass on turtle park aftee the parks closed and issuse citations for being in a park after hours be aware fbc your law breakers
ReplyDeleteHaha! The cops are going to write ~300 trespassing citations? Good joke.
ReplyDeleteThe next ride starts early. So even if you did talk to the police, which I highly doubt, anyone in Turtle Park after hours one the next ride won't be a part of the FBC.
ReplyDeleteI just talked to the President of the United States and he is gonna be waiting for anyone to tress pass on turtle park aftee the parks closed and issuse pardons for being in a park after hours be prepared fbc.
ReplyDeleteThe Friendly Bike Club
ReplyDeleteYes i contacted the police and just like larry rice got arrested you all will be to fyo did u kno.u need a permit to occupy any park after hours and u never have done that so the police will be there and arrest anyone who stays in the park fbc people ur law breakers and should be all putt in jail
ReplyDeleteYes. We're all very scared. Cops love filling out paperwork. I'm sure they can't wait to issue hundreds of citations to a bunch of bike riders.
ReplyDelete:'( :'( :'(
ReplyDelete:'( :'( :'(
ReplyDeleteSaint Louis City cops giving a fuck? Not possible.
