I am off to NYC this weekend and crossing my fingers i can bring my bike. If anyone here has recomendations of bike related shops or advantures i should check out lemme know. i will be in jersey for a wedding on friday and then the rest of the weekend in brooklyn.
I also found a small pile of the stickers that are my avitar if anyone wants a few hit me up! i left a bunch at biseagal a while back and they went fast! i mailed out a few hundred to friends in NYC, Philli, Ohio and Texas to hand out randomly at CM rides to fixie riders. the reaction i heard in TX was pretty interesting when people not riding fixe got pissed they wherent getting stickers cause they had too many gears.
i really need to get a bunch over to cavern soon!

Hope everyone is having a good week. This is a bit late, but good luck Mike! I'll be riding back from Montreal on Saturday so here's hoping I don't die of heatstroke. Sham on...

Good but very very dry. I ended up riding by myself. I can't decide whether I hate these tires or if I just havn't found a good pressure to run them at. All the off-camber stuff is brutal with them.

Hey guys! I'm in Dublin now. I've been moving at a whirlwind pace and I'm tired and hung over. Things are as they should be. Although I should take it easy a bit so I can kick some ass on the weekend. Riding in and around London was amazing real hills, winding streets and the drivers were really considerate I found. I need to get a cable for my camera so I can post some pictures, especially those of the Manchester velodrome and this Argentinian guy in London, also named Daniel who has been riding his motorcycle accross the world. I've pimped out my bike a little too, it actually has carbon fibre on it now! I found a couple of awesome bike stores in London, one called Condor cycles who have an amazing selection of road and track bikes, including their in-house brand which are really nice, made in Italy from at the Dedacchi factory. I also found this place called Brick Lane cycles and they specialize in track bikes/old lugged road bikes. The mechanic took me into the basement where they had a holy grail of old lugged NOS Italian track frames that they had just picked up! It was amazing! Ok I'm running out of time on my pay interweb here. Rock and roll all y'all! I'll post more updates when I got 'em! Later!
