Hundreds of colorfully dressed riders on often misshapen and mutant bicycles kicked off the 13th annual Dead Baby Downhill Race at El Chupacabra on Phinney Ridge Friday evening.
Friday’s race, which finished in Ballard, is part of a weekend of events celebrating mutant bicycle culture.
There will be tall bike jousting, bands, bike dance perfromances and other activities at “the greatest party known to mankind.”
