Bike The Beck - 2012
Photos shot down at the first Bike the Beck. Featuring a nice marriage of the arts, and bicycling around Lakewood. It was a beautiful day, with good riding, great LIVE music, art, and food for all. Can't wait till next year. All photo are the property of The Lakewood Observer, Inc. ©2012
