In the spirit of levity, fun, and rhythm-n-rhyme, I will argue that the
title is good.

My Master's thesis was titled "Cows in the Colca." (It was about
incorporating cattle into a highland, very-small-holder agricultural system
in Peru, in case you were wondering.) My advisor told me that the title
should be changed, because I was talking about both male and female
bovines. He wanted me to use "cattle" or "bovines."

I told him "cows' was more poetic and alliterative, so I wasn't going to
change it.

He passed me anyway.

The point being.... "Bacon on the Bike Path" just flows as an event title.
Regardless of how you feel about meat, health, CAFOs, pigs, or anything
else, it just sounds fun.
