On Wednesday, Denver Cruisers were back on the streets in full force, dressed for this week's theme as hobos and hillbillies.
Due to the ride's growing success and an ever-increasing number of participants, the gathering location for the 2010 summer season has moved from the Ginn Mill (cruisers' homebase for the last couple of seasons) to a more spacious Casselman's Bar and Venue. In addition, a second weekly ride was added this year, which will kick off on May 30th and take place on Sunday afternoons.
Brad Evans, the founder of Denver Cruiser ride and publisher of Kickstand Magazine, says that Sunday Funday ride will be costume-free and presumably more family-friendly than the Wednesday ride, which makes stops at various local bars and nightclubs throughout the night. Sunday Funday ride will take off from Great Divide Brewing at 1:30pm and will end at City Park, just in time for the free City Park Jazz outdoor concerts.
So, what exactly is the Denver Cruiser ride? Hundreds of people, most of them cruiser bike enthusiasts, get together every week for a costumed group bike ride, socializing and celebrating hump day. Different themes are chosen every week, and to the outside observers it may seem like Halloween on wheels -- people in outrageous costumes riding bikes through the streets of Denver at night. To Denver Cruisers, however, it is simply Wednesday.

A correction, the cruiser ride first started at Paris Wine Bar, but it outgrew that too and has only use Ginn Mill the last two seasons.
Alby, thanks for the correction. I updated the article to reflect it.
