DD172 VS WACK WORLD.

2010-01-13T08:23:00.000-08:00

"You can spend hours at 172 Duane Street, in Tribeca, and still have no clue what’s going on here. People come and go at all hours. A thick cloud of pot smoke makes you think you’ve wandered into a building on fire with a stereo cranked at full blast. Sometimes the four-story warehouse is a sprawling art gallery; at other times, it’s a photo studio, or an indie band’s rehearsal space. Most of the time, it’s all of these things at once."

WNW - BX RIDE.

2009-11-22T23:02:00.000-08:00

Saturday was the last of the WNW Group Rides, this time going to the BRONX. When we began at Trackstar there had to be at least 30 of us and by the time we got to BX there were probably 15 of us left. Sick ride, many casualties. (Kyle getting clipped by a cab, broke and dislocated his shoulder, I got DOORED and flew over my bars into Angelo's bike who in turn crashed into a concrete pillar, etc.) Definitely closed it up with a bang. Peep the photos at CYCLEANGELO and I LOVE BICYCLES.

WNW RIDE x STAGES.

2009-11-01T21:52:00.000-08:00

Friday was the WNW Group Ride through Manhattan (BK this Friday). The leaders of the pack, Kyle and Geez (London to Paris NBD) really know how to ride through the city streets. From Houston to 57th street about 10 of us jetted uptown not stopping at 1 light (of course being precautious). Pretty legit ride up to Central Park and up to about 110th St back down to Deitch's opening of Nike x LIVESTRONG STAGES Exhibit. Contributing artists such as KAWS, Futura, Tom Sachs, Shepard Fairley, and Cai Guo-Qiang to name a few. Heres some photos I took of our ride and the exhibit. More on my Flickr also here and here.

2009-10-26T22:04:00.000-07:00

Sunday was anticipated to be a bangin day, and that it was. Angelo organized a ride from George Washington Bridge through the Palisades Interstate Park to a small town called Piermont, NY. I didn't expect the ride to be so rigorous (nor did everyone else). Definitely more of a roadie type of ride. Lots of serious downhills (uphills were worst coming back), not for the novice "fixed gear" rider (even though I've only been riding for 3 months, it was mad fun). Total mileage: 36miles round trip. We all made it with no casualties maybe some mental breakdowns). Heres some photos I took on our journey. Check my Flickr and I Love Bicycles for more. Heres a link to the trails in that area, definitely a must ride.
