The 20th ever Dead Baby Downhill celebration (drinking, riding, drinking) of bike messenger culture (see above) started this year at 23rd and Union in the heart of the Central District — for reasons we’re sure somebody fully gave many minutes of thought. The DIY, punk, very few rules-limited, probably dangerous bike race again attracted thousands for the scramble to Georgetown for more, um, bike messenger culture including bike jousting and other dangerous activities on two (or more) wheels. We don’t know what happened after the riders left E Union but we can tell you this is what it looked like at the start. Especially the last picture way down at the bottom, below.
