San Francisco is weird! For proof, look no further than the fully grown adults who willingly rode plastic tricycles down a steep hill on Easter Sunday. It’s a tradition that could only happen here, and it’s called Bring Your Own Big Wheel. More video:
The organizers only stipulate one rule: all vehicles and their wheels must be made entirely of plastic. The scraping sound of hollow plastic wheels clattering along rough concrete echoes through the neighborhood, along with the cheers of the crowd gathered on hillsides and stairways. Because it's San Francisco, it should be no surprise that many riders come in costume, and get fully into character as they fly down the hill.
In 2023, the cast of costumed characters included several Easter bunnies, at least two nuns, a human BART train, two police officers on a high-speed chase , Rocky Balboa complete with his boxing gloves, and an inflatable T-Rex with a bad habit of chewing on other riders' heads.
