A mixture of patriotism and anarchy reigns in Imperial Beach every July 4th morning during the strictly unofficial IB Bike Parade. This year over a thousand people participated in the early-morning event, riding through town on a short, circuitous route that took about 30 minutes. The mayor usually participates and volunteers along the route direct traffic but some drivers do get inconvenienced by getting stuck in their cars by the mass of bicyclists.
