Caught by Surprise

2009-09-12T19:13:00.000-07:00

I believe this video is a group of comedians pulling a prank of unsuspecting amateur cyclists. Making them feel what it's like to win a stage on the tour. Funny stuff.

A bunch of our good friends are about to embark on a new adventure. Sounds really fun, I wish I could be more involved in this. Sadly I don't have the time at the moment. Check them out

Is this really necessary?

2009-04-01T17:28:00.000-07:00

It seems to me that there are more and more unnecessary products coming out for the fixed gear market. What is wrong with rolling up a pant leg or using one of those Velcro thingies around your ankle? Is is just me or is this really irrelevant?

Wolfpack All City Race - 2008

2008-09-03T21:47:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was one of the largest alley cat races in LA. Organized by the bike crew Wolfpack, this annual race was one of the funnest I've ever done. 27 teams of 5 (135 racers) sprinted 18 miles from Silverlake to the beach at Marina Del Ray. Wolfpack team A took 1st. LABreakless got first all-fixed. My team Steel Horse got 4th.

Good times were had by all. Pretty serious sprint the whole way. I was involved in a crash with some other bikes. Painful but still finished strong. LA all day.

VCR Alleycat race

2008-08-24T15:00:00.000-07:00

This was the first Alleycat race organized by the 'Vince Chill Ride' people in LA. It was a dope race, 5 checkpoints around Venice. Steel horse represented. Our boy Tom took 7th. Big ups to the organizers.

C.R.A.N.K. MOB - August 2008

2008-08-19T23:27:00.000-07:00

I did the crank mob again last Saturday. Street party on bikes...(300+ of um). This monthly ride happens on the west side of LA and is quite possibly the sickest ride I've ever been on. The vibe is soooooo chill, the weather perfect, and the alcohol plentiful. Huge mass of riders go from parking lot to park drinking and parting for like 5 hours. Tall bike jousting, dancing, music, drinking, and riding. Some of the better things in life. This weekend we had a guest from SF, Dean Machine, the KHS soldier. If you ever come to LA, check to see if the crank mob is happening, this is a ride you don't wanna miss...

Thats it till next month's crank mob... Tom and I aren't shaving our faces till then.

Some bike art

2008-08-18T22:32:00.001-07:00

This was a dope art show by students at the Pasedena art school. The only bike related jams in the whole spot. On point. Enjoy.

VCR ride LA 8/12/08

2008-08-13T21:10:00.000-07:00

The Venice Chill Ride (VCR) went down last night. The rides out here in Los Angeles are on a whole other level. LA's got a strong bike culture with a solid community and thats surprising knowing that LA has such a huge car culture... We smashed from Venice beach to LAX airport, to Huntington Beach, and back to Venice. Riding in the terminals was sick. If you weren't there, you missed out. Here's some flicks...

(The iPhone takes wack flicks at night and there's no video camera on it. Weak...)

Manifesto!

2008-08-13T08:40:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I got a chance to visit Manifesto in Oakland. Sam and Mackay, owners of the shop were kind enough to show me around the shop and explained their weekly Bike Church event, which s a Sunday Morning get together with fellow cyclist, coffee and great conversation. These guys are doing a great thing, Sam recently quit his "day job" to spend most of his time in the shop, which I think is a great thing. Support these guys, get to know them.

Our friend Nic Hill from Underdog Pictures got a helmet cam and took it with him on a ride through SF with Mike Tran, Vanessa, One Eyed Dave, Oven, Dean, myself and a few others, I uploaded this short video Nic edited and never really checked back untill recently, can't believe its gotten so many views, it was a fun afternoon just riding with good folks.

Pleasant Surprise

2008-01-28T13:06:00.000-08:00

I've been riding Bart a lot lately since getting rid of my car. Saw this today, I got to say it a pleasant surprise for us Bay Area folks, they removed a row of seats and dedicated the space for bikes. Does this mean bikes can ride bart during rush hours?
