fing hardcore that's what

Good call. I was just getting ready to post that. The MAFIA plate is confirmation.

The MAFIA plate is also badass, on a crown vic, too! Oh the irony!

Peter got a 3Rensho? Nice.

i'm pretty sure that front wheel on the philly bike is an old corima tri wheel. i've seen a couple from when they use to be 3 "spoked" whereas now it's all carbon 4 spoked for their tris.

the bmx wheels you're thinking of might been the generic term "mag".. is that what you're saying?

question: in the roller pictures, what's the deal? are they going speed vs. time or distance vs time or what?

question #2: where do i get a ****ing thrash/destroy cycling cap? granted, i could just make my own.

competing for fastest 300 meter sprint. ppl were clocking in around ~24 - 29 seconds.

hey all,
it was a great weekend. the girl with the champagne coloured benotto in pic2 is france from montreal. i'm the guy in a couple of bilogyboys pics with the heineken kit on.
the next days skids and sprints started at 2 ish on the east river park. right on the water.
1st skids justin gullickson- calgary
2nd skids alex-trackstar

freestyle, footdown, trackstands, backwards circles (12 of em!). if i remember correctly, andy zalan from dc swept and took everythng else.


did you all hear about this? crazy. i feel super sorry for his friends and family.

CHELSEA PIER TRAGEDY
Body of Bike Messenger Found

New York Post, February 21, 2005

By Jen Kelly and Briget Harrison


The body of a bike messenger who had attended a shindig for cyclists on
a salvaged boat Saturday at Chelsea Piers was found in shallow water
near the site yesterday - with his bike chain still around his waist,
cops said.

The 36-year-old man, whose name was being withheld by authorities
pending notification of his family, was spotted by pedestrians
yesterday morning near the Frying Pan, a popular party boat that is
permanently moored at Pier 63 by West 23rd Street, police said.

Authorities believe the messenger, who was last seen by a pal at the
boat party at 9 p.m., may have died after he left the bash drunk and
fell into the river. There were no signs of trauma to the body.

His roommate told cops that the man was from Vancouver, Canada,
suffered from seizures, and had a plate in his head from being shot in
Canada more than 10 years ago.

Cops were investigating whether a seizure may have contributed to his
death. Results of an autopsy were pending.

The friend told investigators he had left the man at the party to go
meet his girlfriend shortly after 9 p.m. He found out that his friend
had died yesterday morning when he returned to the pier to pick up his
own bike and saw cops by the river.

More than 100 cyclists had gathered at the pier Saturday for an annual
event at which they trade bike parts, said Frying Pan skipper John
Krevey.

After the "swap meet," which began at 8 a.m., cyclists joined a race to
Brooklyn and then The Bronx before finishing back at the pier for more
bike competitions.

The day of biking festivities was followed by a party on the Frying
Pan, where alcohol was served. The gig finished at 10 p.m., Krevey
said.

A passer-by, one of several who spotted the messenger's body in the
shallow water between the boat and the pier, said that at first, he and
others thought the corpse was a mannequin.

"Nobody believed it to be true, they didn't think it was a body," said
Wade Rosen, 39, of New Jersey. "They thought it was a mannequin thrown
overboard."

Built in 1929, the Frying Pan guarded the Frying Pan Shoals, which are
30 miles off of Cape Fear, N.C., from 1930 to 1965.

Abandoned for 10 years in Chesapeake Bay, the vessel sank and was under
water for three years before it was salvaged and sailed to Pier 63,
where it is now a popular location for parties.

Not that it matters, in the grand scheme of things, but those results differ from the hand written ones posted here:

I like the hand copy, it puts me up by 5 compared to the printed version. 61st vs 66th doesn't change the world, but for the sweat, puke and cold I'll take everything I can get.

was it counting the DQ's? That may have upset the numbers slightly...


- I'm in a weird place right now. Just found out an hour ago that I knew the guy that died.

He showed up that day just as we were about to take off, looking to see if anyone was still hanging around selling parts.
I told him no, and kinda left him in a hurry after that. That was the last I saw of him.
Found out today when looking for him to ask if he'd scored any parts.

Who's the cat with the chainring in his head? That **** is pretty sick. I'm assuming it's hollywood and not real?

no, its totally real

yeah sharkey is the nicest messenger and person in philly he works for timecycle. he's won a bunch of the alleycats her in philly

That's Jimmy (El Jimmy), proprietor (or one of) of the Bicycle Kitchen. He's an LA messenger and all-around nice guy.

That chainring is actually a part of his skull. Bike jousting accident.
