"A surreal world of depraved marionettes" -- that sounds like our Thursday night ride!


Dan Castellaneta, better known as the voice of Homer Simpson, will be playing the lead role in a new stage production called "The Bicycle Men." The play is described thusly:

The Bicycle Men revolves around Steve, a hapless American tourist who crashes his bike and encounters the twisted inhabitants of a sinister French village. Mayhem ensues as Steve steps into a surreal world of depraved marionettes, creepy bicycle repair men, and other oddball characters. Only the god of bicycles can save the day.


The God of Bicycles? We had no idea Grant Petersen had overcome his agoraphobia and was actually acting on the British stage. Woohoot!

And by the way, isn't that new Rivendell bike called "the Homer"?
