SALT

Although being home for the Holidays is great, I must say, the weather has been less than agreeable. I went for a nice long ride the other day and when I returned I was literally covered from head to toe in a mixture of melted snow, dirt and a TON of road salt. Snow is great and all but sometimes enough is enough.

Smashing

Copped from Cycleangelo

When I have dreams about riding my bike this is what they look like, smashing through the city skitching on fenders and weaving through traffic. Another awesome photo by Cycleangelo, this dude is on fire.

Awesome picture of Futura on his bike taken by Ricky Powell. I'm digging the 7-eleven cycling cap and gnarly glasses, those Keith Harring city cycles shorts are pretty rad too.

If I Had This Kind of Dough...

Although I love riding track bikes, fixed gears, "fixies", whatever you want to call them, I feel as though some people get a bit carried away. This Affinity Lo Pro is one of these instances. Don't get me wrong I think this bike looks awesome and the amount of money put into it is mind blowing; I just don't see the practicality. What is the point of having a $1500 zipp disc, $800 trispoke, GIANT Zen chainring and a slew of other track bike goodies on a bike that will obviously never see the track. Even small climbs would be a challenge on this beast and if there is a cross wind, forget it. With the time and money spent on this bike this guy could have a nice fixed gear AND a sweet road bike. If only I had his resources.

Going Clipless

Santa brought me some Shimano SH-R086L's to go along with my newly acquired Look Keo Carbon pedals. Although the snow is coming down pretty hard outside I went for a quick jaunt around the neighborhood before it got too bad and i must say, they are AWESOME. I'm so glad I finally made the switch, now I just need some gears.

Let it Snow...Bikes!

Interesting combination of Cinelli frames for the holiday! I don't think I would be too upset if it snowed Cinelli's for a little while. Maybe one of these would fall into my front yard!



Anyway, Happy Holidays!

What a cool idea for a race! Everyone has to chase the guy with a zebra tail through the city and the object is to steal his tail first. I love the fact that everyone chasing the zebra had tiger or leopard print compression pants on. Looks like a blast for sure.

Frag Rose

A random stencil I drew and then proceeded to tediously cut out with an exact-o knife. I taped off a white T-shirt I had laying around and sprayed the stripes on as well as the stencil. It didn't come out quite as good as I would have liked but the idea behind it is really what I was going for. I'm not sure how to prevent bleeding, I'll have to experiment in the future.

I Got My Vans On But They Look Like Sneakers

I was browsing around Freshness this afternoon when I came upon the VANS Vault 2011 Spring Preview which, I might add, is awesome! I really liked Pendleton's contribution and the Brooks look as awesome as ever. Even Leader made an appearance at the preview.
