Yo I was just at Agee's on West Broad and I got some Chrome toe clips with black leather straps for $13. They are so dope.

There's an Agee's on West Broad?
Or are you talking about Bunnyhop?

Yeah, there's one in Midlothian, too. But don't go there. They would rather sell you a new bike than help you fix your old one. Try Rowlette's at Staples Mill & Broad (Behind Krispy Kreeme), or Pibby's at Marshall and, well, two blocks west of Belvidere, or Recycles at Cary and Robinson. They are are great shops that are willing to help you find what you need, and they support the local cycling community.

when deciding what to do for my new bike, the guy at rowletts (mike?) was pretty helpful and honest. i like bunnyhop a lot, but starr at carytown bikes is honest as well.

RICHMOND HEADS!
what goes on in your city. i'm trying to ride in richmond sometime soon. any alleycats/casual rides anytime soon?

i go to uva, where just about nothing goes on. i'm trying to ride in richmond, it beats driving to dc and bmore all the time. i just have no idea of anything in richmond nor any vcu heads that ride.

I've traded the bull horns for drops and have put on a longer stem since this picture. I also have a yellow tall bike that a suit mate and i ride occasionally.

I'm in the process of making a tall bike for April. Could you give me some tips on how you made yours?

To be perfectly honest, the best time to come to town is for Slaughterramma, on the weekend closest to April 1st. The local bike gangs take over an old foundry and there is a bike carnival. Tug-o-war, tall bike jousting, bike polo, foot down, Piggy back races, charriot races, and anything else you might think of to do on a bike while drunk. Its on an island in the middle of the river with a shady past, so the cops don't show up much. Oh, and there are several hundred kids with bikes and beer, just being crazy.

As for finding people to ride with ... Just drive to town any night of the week, cruise the fan on your bike, and when you see a bar with ten or twenty bikes locked up outside, go in. Someone in there will know something. Bars to check: Helen's, Sticky Rice, Ipanema, NY Deli. Just ride around, you'll see them.

Yup, and the Camel, too. Like I said, just ride around the fan, you'll find someone. :D

lordgold 11-26-07 10:42 PM

My friend Clay is the sound guy at the Camel. One of my favorite places to hang out.

Nobody rides bikes here, it's an awful myth we've been trying to break free from.

You could find a ride or some folks to ride with just about anytime.

Speaking of that... Does anyone want to use christmas shopping as an excuse to ride out to Short Pump sometime this weekend? OR! Does anyone have a set of rollers that we can put wheels on and tow someone around while they ride nowhere fast? Just a thought!

I like carytown bicycles a lot. Everyone there is really nice and quite honest. They dont treat me like an annoyance if I just go into the shop to ask a question. I bought my road bike at Agees 4 years ago and I cant stand them.

804RVA 11-27-07 12:45 PM

Is Clay really tall, becasue I am pretty sure that I found his bike that was stolen and returned it to him at the Camel. I am glad that he got the bike back, he was a nice dude.

VAwitt 11-27-07 01:57 PM

dont forget 821, for bike kids

and i like carytown and bunnyhop the best, imo
