getting a bike company to sponsor this isn't happening.
however, free beer is very possible. do any of you have a blog with +20000 monthly visits?
my friend did and he made contact and told them that him and his friends were doing a fixy bike ride and bbq one weekend. he said he would take pictures and post them on his blog. carlsberg sent 5 cases of beer to his house. there were 12 of us and a total of maybe 15 pics were posted. the only thing they asked was if the labels of the bottles could be visible in some of the photos.
he also had red stripe agree to this but he never followed through.
if the mods are cool with it you could use the forum as your 'blog'. scrod may need to be the contact man so **** seems official.
if I didn't have a career and children I would join you all.
