On assignment for CHUM News, Seattle photographer David Jaewon Oh scoped out the Woodland Park Gran Prix: a lively, boozy, day-festival-like cycling competition featuring 1,000+ racers—and, perhaps, the largest tandem-bike race in the world. (Citation pending.) www.chum.news/woodland-par...

A bike rider wearing a fireball costume carries a bicycle over muddy terrain. The photo is blurry, and is an action shot from the Woodland Park Gran Prix, a cyclocross race that took place in Seattle last month. The title of the image reads, “Day Party On Wheels.”
