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.

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.

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.

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.
