This summer there was a "cruiser bicycle" gathering here in Vegas. heavy frames, fat tires, lights everywhere, and sound systems. One trike had a large 'trunk'; with a pull out gas grill and a sound system that rivaled those in movie theaters for sheer volume. Most were pure pedal driven but some had electric assist. The convoys as they rode around town were pretty impressive, even in a city full of neon.
