BICYCLE ROLLING: Pioneer Square's 88 Keys Dueling Piano and Sports Bar is kicking off their roller biking (if that's an appropriate name) tournaments and grudge matches tonight. Wikipedia schooled us on the relevant history: bicycle rolling was originally popular in Britain in the 1950s. It also states that people would normally partake in the rolling matches before watching movies at the cinema (strange), or while waiting in between dances at dance halls (even stranger). Roller racing is still popular in Britain, mainly with the bicycle messenger community, heading tournaments under the name Rollapalooza. Bizarre?
