Appears to be something someone made up one day, not notable or apparently even practiced outside of Oberlin. Sven Manguard Wha? 15:34, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete per nom.. Not sure, but it may be a candidate for WP:PROD. Yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions 16:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete clearly something made up on a school day--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 17:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the subject lacks any coverage in reliable third party sources. The article is quite possibly a hoax. Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 20:57, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a hoax and is still practiced in Minneapolis at the very least annually during the Bicycle Film Festival after-party at One on One Bicycle Studio. It's not "covered" because it's counterculture and hasn't been "discovered" by anyone yet, though I'm sure it's just a matter of time. ;) As to whether it should be kept or deleted, I guess I can't say; here are some links, though:

Delete. If Nklatt would like to have a userfied version, for such time as it does attract substantial RS coverage, that would be fine. It existing is not sufficient to meet our notability criteria.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:09, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
