“Over a thousand race fans showed up today for the 7th annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel race down San Francisco’s Lombard Street, you know, the really crooked one. There were total of four runs down the hill with what must have been close to hundred racers, many with absurd outfits, trying to make it to the bottom of the hill on their plastic-wheeled vehicles. Here are the photos I shot of the big wheel chaos.”

Looks like fun. Aside from being famously crooked, Lombard St. is ludicrously steep, so going like hellbats is pretty much a given. Even walking up it just doesn’t seem right the angle is so perverse. Going down it on anything with wheels would be fun and trying to maneuver a big wheel would be forty-five shades of hectic.
