2023 Undie Ride: Success!

H-Town WNBR thanks Pride Bike Ride Houston, the Houston Eagle, Gristworkz Brewing Company, and Super Happy Fun Land for contributing to a splendid rolling soirée.

About 40 cyclists and skaters participated in the event, which followed a more-or-less triangular route starting at the Eagle and proceeding to Gristworkz, SHFL, and back. They wore undies (and some stray outerwear) in an eye-grabbing variety of styles and patterns.

The ride also paid tribute to fallen Pride Rider Shane McKinney, a victim of a hit-and-run collision by someone driving an upscale SUV on West Dallas Street last October, at the Ghost Bike commemorating the tragedy.

David Loredo, a facilitator of the Pride Ride, arranged for the use of the Eagle as start-finish, as well as a stop at Gristworkz, formerly Local Group Brewery in Hardy Yards. Local Group served as a stop for the WNBRs in 2021. David took the photos below of participants and other guests outside Gristworkz.
