mayhem

left to right: loser,winner.
right off the bat one of the bikes fork was ripped out of the mount by a large drunk man ( you know who you are...doug). we were able to get a few sprints out of it until total failure. it was still fucking fun. thanks to bike jerks, urban velo, rapha, sram, 21st ave bikes, and fat tire farm for the goods. people were stoked to get 'em. thanks ben, michael, al, josh, atlin, kyle and other kyle. you are boss. next month we are going to test out a projectorless system. there will be no entry fee to make up for those who didn't get to race. 

not like the others

the black one in the back is the original that rapha let me borrow. thanks daniel and carey! i gave it to my friend josh and he made me replicas. metal! 

vegan ambush

living harvest set up shop on the broadway bridge giving out free vegan ice cream to all the cyclists and pedestrians. hi five.
kyle gives it two fingers downtown. so, that means it's good when he does that. that's what he is trying to convey with that little gesture.

Palmer

this is my dog palmer. named after robert palmer. she doesn't listen too well. example: she is not supposed to be on the couch..... well, when my girlfriend is around anyway. she just turned 5.  even though she is a little stinky, loud,  stubborn, and doesn't listen.... she's pretty much the coolest dog EVER. i will fist fight anyone who disagrees. with my fists!

Bike Jerks

a big thanks to jeff at bike jerks for the shirts. if you pedal fast enough on saturday, these could be yours. little circles.

Skate Jamming

i got really excited when i watched this. not quite sure why. maybe because my girlfriend wants to start roller skating. maybe because i have always wanted to work on a choreographed dance with someone. maybe it was the michael jackson.

seen on tracko.

June 27th 9pm Backyard's Sprints

dog not included.

my box is full.... of mail.

even though i moved and no longer work at kozy's cyclery, my friend jorge still thinks i deserve some swag. that's probably because he rules small countries and makes prize winning vegan lasagna. the judge was me. the prize was no leftovers for him.

sorry ladies, he's taken

my friend kyle here gets super stoked when gloria estefan comes on the radio. look for him racing short track at pri on mondays. he'll be the guy in a banana hammock. that's his game. KIR, kyle.
