(This is an issue worthy of later discussion).

More than a thousand cyclists peddled their way through South Lake Tahoe on a breezy Thursday afternoon to break a Guinness Book of World Record by forming the longest single file line of bicycles.
Organizers said nearly 1,200 bicyclists had signed in by the 4 p.m. start time. Many cyclists were clad in costumes and face paint, all in the spirit of fun. The South Lake Tahoe bicycle group Slow Rollers has sponsored the second annual Spirit Bike Parade Thursday and its attempt to break the world record by forming the longest single line of bicycles. The record is held by the City of Davis of 916 bicycles. With nearly 1,200 cyclists on board Thursday, it looked promising that the record would be broken, said Richard Cutright, one of several event coordinators.
