Organizers lay down rules for cruisin' in Carbondale

Organizers of what's become a popular monthly happening that brings scores of bicycle enthusiasts out for a cruise up and down Carbondale streets beneath the light of the full moon are having to establish some cruiser guidelines.
Rhonda Roberts, an unofficial spokeswoman for the group known as The StomParillaz, which began the cruiser rides about three years ago, acknowledged that a few "issues" arose during a particularly large Saturday night cruiser ride that was estimated at about 300 riders.
"It's always been a pretty widely accepted event in town," she said. "But I think that every once in a while there's maybe too much alcohol involved.
"We want people to know that's not the focus of the ride, and that it's meant as a way to get out and see your friends, make new friends and have fun," Roberts said.
