Priorities

Bicycles have taken a back seat, the world is changing. I'm afraid of what will happen on Tuesday. Yes we can hold our future in our hands, yes we can make a better world for our children, yes, as a country, we can make the right decision.. Just get out and place your vote. We can make a change Si se puede!

The triumphant return of smashed up sunday!

It's official, smashed up sunday is back. After riding with the slow sunday crew for a few months a few of us would like something a little more fast paced and exciting. Nothing against slow sunday at all, the pace is just gotten to be a bit to slooooooow. I've never had a bad time riding with those guys, and slow sunday is a great way of getting people who are intimidated joining a large group ride, we just want to drink beer and ride a bit faster and crash a bit harder. Heres the info: Meet up at 10 am sunday at King Cobra (Between Broadway and 10th on E Pike), we will be there drinking beer and watching football and discussing routes. We'll probably head out after the morning games are over, unless we drink to much or something stupid(not likely of really happening though) Last night, after slow sunday Cody, Chase, and Larabee met up with Kat and I at the 5 points for a drink. After some tequila and beer we cruised over to Seattle Center and did some laps around the Ghettodrome fountain, and a few games of foot down, and several "hey ladies... feel like partyin?" Then rode up to Cafe Metropolitain because Chase was called into work. I stayed there with Chase and closed the bar with him and then raced back down Denny to the 5 Points again for some icky dinner. It was super awesome.

Bike Piles and Farewells

What is it about bike piles we find so enthralling? Maybe the simple act of restraining a pile of metal with various U Locks and cables is appealing. I think it simply looks cool. This photo was snapped by a charming and beautiful young lady named Marin outside the Cha Cha the other night. I think this was one of Ali's last nights in town, it's kind of a blur. I'm going to miss locking up to that damn Peugeot, a lot of fucked up shit happened while riding with that beast. In fact most of the funnier stuff had to do with Chase's bike. Ali towing Chase with a U Lock up from downtown while I push him from behind, Chase riding on Ali's Bars from the Monk to the Cha Cha while I push Chase's bike with a flat tire, etc. Thanks for riding bikes with us Ali, give em hell in the Bay, and get a San Francisco Chainwhip franchise going.

Second slowest sunday

My triumphant return to the Slow Sunday ride after a one week hiatus had to be the second shortest ride ever. Second only to the Scott Gamble Film Festival ride (4 miles total) Here's the stats: Ruby's, Finn McCool's, Big Time, Recycled Cycles, Brauer's,

A lot more drinking than riding
