John with the bicycle on his face is Johnny's good friend and teammate for the event and the guy drinking the beer is Josh who puts on these events, Urban Assault Rides in multiple cities. Very environmentally sensitive from a solar-powered sound system to beer glasses made from corn that went into the compost bin. 400+ people at the event and only one black 35-gallon or so bag of garbage.
