GIRL POWER The Lower East Side Girls Club made a proper showing for the event

SWEET RIDE The candy-themed bike, by artistic director Cindy Ruskin, decorated the stage behind post-parade performers like The Rude Mechanical Orchestra

RAINBOW COALITION Multi-colored foils, fabrics, paints, and papers were affixed to bikes during pre-parade workshops attended by kids from the LES Girls Club, the Andrew Glover Youth Program, and the New York City Housing Authority

HAT TRICK Not only did the clown brigade from Time's Up brighten up the parade, they also brought portable tunes to keep peddlers rockin' on the 20-block ride

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL For those too small to peddle, the transportation alternative was a scooter

HEAD OF THE PACK Pedicabs carried Commissioner Margarita Lopez and other parade marshalls at the front of the pack
