On Saturday May 5, 2007, Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto, drove a Busycle full of Palo Alto dignitaries down University Avenue in the Annual May Fete parade. They were joined by her husband, Lee Collins, as they pedaled to the music of the JLS junior high shcool marching band. Jaws dropped, people cheered and cameras flashed all along the entire route.

"What a blast it was! Thank you so much for making that possible,
Martin. Rich, David and all the riders who joined us!"
Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto
