The Kickstand Circus - Cruiser Nite
The Kickstand Circus is a group of people who understand that only a cruiser is truly made for cruising, that sometimes style is more important than speed, and that no amount of “aftermarket cool” will turn your fixie into a cruiser. You can only ride a cruiser bike on a cruiser nite. If this makes sense, you’re part of the Kickstand Circus.
