Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I was gonna say, did that end up on the cutting room floor when Lucas Brunelle was editing his video? Did you stop and give the bus driver all your information cuz you rear ended him?

anyone else listen to npr today?

"Comics Creators Search for 'Super Hero' Alternative" by Neda Ulaby

All Things Considered, March 27, 2006 · The phrase "Super Hero" is jointly trademarked by Marvel and DC Comics, so independent comic book creators are out of luck if they want to use the term. But how can a hero be impressive if he or she is not allowed to be super?

whoa, that's a pretty heavy SUPER-BUMMER. Good thing we're a shadowy underground crew and not a small local business. (Eek!)

GOOD NEWS: We've got a pretty awesome initial roster of sponsors: Peter from BAGJACK is hand creating the first place winner's bags. He's in tokyo working on the new store & stuff so there's going to be some pretty heavy berlin-tokyo-new york UBER hotness. Everyone will die of jealousy. It will become a new SUPERPOWER.

4916 & KING KOG are also weighing in and we'll have t-shirts available at regisration.

Other comics sponsors TBA. Bike shops are still being felt up... ah hem. I mean felt out.

The flyer, as it is today. A joint effort of s_9, visitordesign, and the Lord Nathan Fabian.

Holy sh** kids. I hate to bust it open like this but... visitordesign has the HOTTEST ALLEYCAT SHIRT design EVER. Seriously.

if you think we're just nerds, think again...



And can you say checkpoints? It's so out of control I've have volunteers say "I don't know, that's wierd" of course those "people" are my "brothers" which is to say i'm looking for "replacements."

Who wants to work daredevil? Or Spiderman/greengoblin? Ninja Turtles...
