First of all, your photos are excellent. One advantage of your second floor perspective is that your selected subjects are not blocked by other riders. Another advantage is that the bike handles do not bar the view, so to speak. For some here, that's important. :) However, I do understand that a stationary location is limiting.

I personally love the Fremont event, including the parade itself. It is uniquely inclusive, featuring all races, ages and body types. I think that you would be welcome despite your age or condition. They seem to be a welcoming group. I wouldn't worry about my physical appearance. As every used car dealer or realtor knows, paint covers a multitude of sins. Art galleries feature the painted work, not the canvas it's painted upon.

As a septuagenarian myself, I would personally have stamina issues about biking the whole course. But if I lived in your area, I'd try to find a way to participate as a volunteer. Apparently, they need them. In post #24 in this thread, Da Vinci provided some links that could guide you to the proper people.

Whatever you choose to do, I hope you have fun.

Sheesh! I take a little time away from the screen for some shuteye and the one I've been obsessively checking for pops up...for those who thought Antwone's party pictures a bit small, 1 and 2 below; and did I hear we haven't seen Gasworks? Try flickr.com/photos/102702485@N07/ (3-6), another perennial favorite. Oh, and they both shot the ride as well; you'll have to excuse me for a while: I've got some saving to do!

A wonderful close up :).

Yeah, I thought so too ( https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/show...3&postcount=35 )! Here some I think we haven't already seen:



Also note: though we might be tricked by the upload date (I know I was at first), the 320 items posted today at flickr.com/photos/45945507@N05/archives/date-posted/2017/06/22/ are actually 2016, though many seemed new, and lovely, to me...

I think the first (Asian lady) and fourth (Rainier beer) images are from 2017. Don't know about the others.

Actually, all the pictures in the post are 2017; the reference to 2016 had to do with the ones in the post's flickr link. These below are also 2017:
