"The Bring Your Own Big Wheel race just celebrated 26 years since its beginnings, on Easter Sunday. The race began with co-founder Jon Brumit taking a Big Wheel down the crooked part of Lombard Street in 2000."
"As the event gained notoriety and Lombard Street neighbors objected to their landscaping being damaged, it moved to the more crooked, less well known Vermont Street on Potrero Hill."
"The race route is lined with hay bales, for crashing into. There aren't too many rules besides a strict ban on advertising or product endorsements at the race."
The Bring Your Own Big Wheel race is a San Francisco Easter tradition that began in 2000. Co-founder Jon Brumit initiated the event on Lombard Street, but it relocated to Vermont Street due to complaints from neighbors. The race features a kids division for those 12 and under and an adult division. The organizers prefer to keep the event low-key, avoiding advertising and product endorsements. The race route is lined with hay bales for safety, and it continues to attract crowds each year.
