Two men riding very slowly on low-rider cruiser bikes down a tree lined street filled with bicycles on both sides. In the background is a 2 story red brick building with a brightly painted facade reminiscent of a Chinese temple. It's a Chinese heritage museum.

   A few more bikes (and their owners) from the Shiny Side Up bicycle and car show in San Jose, CA.

   By request, someone wanted to see people riding the bikes. In one photo, there are a couple of men taking their time leaving the show. They are going so slow that it would be challenging to go in a straight line on a normal bicycle.

   I've never ridden one before, but they quite appear to be made to appeal to people who don't want to be rushed. They're low and slow.

   The "Chinese" building in the backdrop of one photo is a Chinese American Historical Museum. The park where this show takes place in is History San Jose, a historical park filled with local cultural museums and exhibits from San Jose's past.

   Many things on exhibit in History San Jose were relocated there for preservation when urban development had them slated for demolition.
