Bringing a bike on tour ****ing rules
so i haven't been posting on here that much lately (not that i ever really did that much) cause my band has been on tour in the US for the last month, and we got 2 more weeks to go, the rest all in canada. i have gotten to ride all over the US, it has been amazing. well, without further ado, here is one special night, 2 nights ago, in banff, alberta, canada. enjoy.

I used to take a bike on tour too. It was great to get to see more of a city that a one mile radius around the club. Especially nice when you get sick of your bandmates and need some space.

so when do band alley cats start to happen? all five people in my band ride, 4 of which ride fixed. Bog Wraith Challenge's ALL! Don't worry we'll lose, just a bunch of stoners, we've got no lungs for racing...

A friend of mine was hired as the stage manager for a Prince Tour. In addition to a bunk in the coach and a sweet per-diem, he had an anvil case made for his BMX bike so it fit in the bus like everything else.

yeah, my band is called The Loved Ones, we're on Fat Wreck Chords. Spider plays bass in my band. Didn't ride out to the lake while in banff, shoulda though.
Yeah riding around has been awesome, it totally gets me some exercise and clears my head. Drunk skids after the show are fun as **** as well, but sometimes the rubber side doesn't always stay down, as the pics demonstrate.
The evil man farting on me head is my singer dave hause. this is standard behavior.
I didn't sell my cannondale yet, but i'm going to when i get back. that iro i just set up as beater as possible for the tour, in case it got stolen or ****ed up.
I'd be down for a band alleycat, but only me and my roadie ford (who is on the left in the final pic, and is a messenger in philly when not touring) are the only riders.
peace y'all!!!
