Chicago Happenings
 

Im new to the Chicago Fixed Gear world. I've been lurking around here for awhile and decieded to drop a line and see if anything was going on soon. Any group rides or circuses comming up?

thats sweet. Im down. Do i need to register?

If you ride brakeless, theres Track Wars, October 22nd IIRC
Should be a good alleycat, I guess its a "sequel" to Terror Trials of last year.

nafaik, but you should prolly read this thread http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=139758 (all 20 pages of it :))

it'll give you a good idea of who folks are.

Does anyone else think that an annual alleycat should keep the same name? It just confuses people. Terror Trials 04/05/06 or 1/2/3 would be much cooler, I think.

have your own then - i don't see the problem. variety is the Hamm's beer of life...not everyone likes it.

Terror Trials was a different race. Change of ownership. HeHe.

Speaking of Hamm's. I have had plenty in my day and many at the actual brewery that is now closed in St. Paul. Don't copy my steez.

FROM THE LAND OF SKY BLUE WATERS!!!! waters. waters. Comes a beer that is...

Gotcha. Well...Terror Trials sounds way cooler than Track Wars anyway.

Hamm cans were a buck last night at Healy's in Forest Park.

what are terror trials? Are they the same thing as alley cat races, any of those comming up?

Terror Trials was a race held last year around this time. It was 6 (if I remember) points throughout the city. Track/fixed gear bikes only - no brakes, no gears (obviously). Last year was the first year

Does anybody know where to get cool threads for bike riding. I like typical riding jerseys but there so sporty looking and i hate clothes covered with logos-even bike logos. Does anybody know of a independent fashion designer that designs jerseys and caps. Nothing youth oriented or anything but maybe with skulls or guns.

oh man...

Everyone doesn't like Hamm? I mean honestly, it comes from the land of sky blue waters....whats not to like.


oh and, Skull and guns? No, I don't think so.

Buy some camo

your joking right?

You're joking about independent fashion designers puting skulls and guns on cycling clothes, right?

ok im not trying to self promote..... but he asked and i can help him out. sorry if this breaks any rules.

No homes im not joking, looking for something a bit more unique than the everyday bicycle clothing you can get around town. Something that somebody makes in their apartment by hand, something with some sort of message or not, something with intreasting graphics, maybe picture of a couple of assult riffles or gold jewerly with the word Bolivia, i dont know just brainstorming. I heard there was someone in Brooklyn that does this sort of fashion design but can find him on the web.

Cabana thats awesome, thats what im looking for, do you make any caps or jerseys? I cant stand advertising on clothing either.

jerseys are alot of cash i have printed one or two.hats are in the works

Thats awesome, ill keep checking you website for the caps. I really like the graphic of the fist breaking the cars. When you print on jerseys do you buy plain ones from a store or do you order them from the manufacturer. Anyway thats really great.

It scares me that someone overtly interested in firearms can't spell "rifle"... does this say something about our culture?? ;)

LMFAO......I think i spit....too funny
