Judging by the traffic on Weirs Boulevard and route 11B there were substantially less people here this year. The first Saturday traffic backed up but that was the busiest day. Monday through Wednesday it looked like the same traffic you would see in April, not Bike Week. Thursday through the last weekend the traffic hardly backed up at all. In previous years the traffic has been stopped on Weirs Boulevard for a good part of both weekends and backed up for the last four days for sure. There seem to be less people here every year.

Too many Police officers tripping over each other while intimidating people, not enough entertainment or interesting things for people to do. After all, how many times do you want to go to the beer tent and get drunk, or look at the same leather goods, tatoos and t shirts that have been here for the last fourty years. Something needs to be done to spark up the event, to add some interesting things to do or different activities and entertainment, or it will soon be gone. Changing the week was a big mistake too. I hope that they go back to the correct week next year.
