Шаблон:Short description Dead Baby Bikes Downhill, also known as Dead Baby Bike Race or Dead Baby Downhill or RaceDay, is an annual Seattle-based bicycle race and street party. [1] The bicycle race often has no defined route, just an origin and an ending point, and has historically not been permitted, even though the accompanying street party has been permitted.[1]

Over the years, the event has grown from attracting hundreds to now thousands of people to the Seattle neighborhood of Georgetown.[1][2]

The street party at times features carnival rides made of bicycle parts, as well as bicycle jousting.[3]

The event was featured in a 2005 episode of the television show Grey's Anatomy.[1]

History

The event was launched in 1997 by the members of Dead Baby Bikes, a Seattle bicycle club (named for a doll which had been nailed to the wall of the roll-up door of the bike repair shop in which the club was meeting); founder Dave Ranstrom has admitted that if he had known the event would draw media attention, he would have chosen a different name.[4]
