obama deals with haters

the jigga way

this'll be drippin' out all the speaka's

baby loves hip-hop is the new release from the series.

 between prince paul (de la soul producer) tuna fish (jurassic 5)

lady bug (digable planets) and scratch (from the roots) 

you can't even believe the talent on this record.

granted the material is a little fluffy, although i found it refreshing.

check out the what about 10 video

just a reminder of how dorky i really am

meez is a site that allows you to create an avatar for yourself

go on...let your inner-dork shine

i was telling someone about fabrichorse the other night at wesley's

and i thought i would put a link out here.

they're  based in philly and reuse seat belts from junk yards to make these awesome

"bike hipster fanny packs", spats, and other strange accoutrements.

i like them and i think you will too.

i also found this site of various interests called animal

lots of cool stuff... checkit!!!11!

and finally 

this is a little niche called steampunk

actual steam powered computers and such

but being a mac elitist i was blown away by this

this pretty much sums up my life at this point

i wouldn't go so far as to say "the cell phone is the cause for the nation's erosion"

that was the combustible engine, but i did wriggle out of getting one for quite awhile.

it just hasn't been the same without you

old skool mondays

the xmen were a group of riders/messengers in new york

they grab cars (skitching) wear hockey equipment (lame) 

and cause havoc in the streets (awesome)

double rush was a short lived series on cbs about messengers

it will remind you of fads you thought you forgot about

and while were at it, quicksilver was a movie in which kevin bacon looses everything on wall st. and becomes a messenger in n.y.      this is an awesome seen where he races morpheus (laurence fishburne)   here is a cheesy scene with kevin doing some tricks, and here is the legendary "bike dance" scene

bootleg mash videos only up for 1 more week

for those who don't know... mash sf

is a skateboard style documentary of the messenger scene in sanfrancisco

these were posted on youtube and are being taken down in a week

and now for some future

the one bike is a collapsable bike that blows your mind

this bike records all the data from your ride...

you get home, plug it into your computer,

and see how much money you wasted buying this thing

the zero bike works using magnets
this is just weird 

 

koga and spyker created this thing

only 50 made 

14 speed internal hub!

someone should have told them

 thats 13 speeds too many

yah gibson yah

bear with me

haven't figured out how to embed videos yet

this is awesome

only in ohio

hottest hubs EVER!

i've made up my mind...barrack the little 500
just because it made me laugh
hot bike of the day

todays hot bike

this thing is redic.

its a little much for my taste, but it's inherent ninjaness can not be denied

things of the future to help cyclists of today

this is pretty awesome...

its a jacket for cyclists that senses when you slow down, and activates brake lights

which made me think of other stuff like this i found to post 

on one of those elitist bike forums i'm on...

electronically warmed clothes

solar powered jacket that can charge ipod, phone, etc.

new fabric that hardens during impact

a hat that hardens during impact, like a helmet

this is my favorite, a jacket that turns into an airbag during a crash

because i can

i found this guy and thought to myself..... yeah..... you got it man

">" border="0" alt="" />

findings from the interwebz

boston dynamics "bigdog" is the craziest thing i've ever seen

it is a robot that is so advanced you can kick it!!!

just like a real dog!!!

(kidding...)

one step closer to getting my tron bike

the monotracer looks super sweet

the hot bike of the day is dick cheney's new ride
these are my new bike shoes with my pedals shown also..

crankbrothers who make the pedals are allowing this technology to blow up

i just saw these, and don't know what to think...

for those who don't know about the clipless revolution,

that panel comes off on the sole of the shoe, and a clip that connects to your pedal

is in there.

now for some bike shit...

these are pictures of my bike(s)

my nishiki when it was pulled out of a dumpster that fateful day

after some modifications


my old fuji...sexual intercourse

for those of you who don't know me...
i am quite obsessed with the fixed gear bicycle
it's been around for over a century, and is just now catching on
as a cheap, reliable, "hip" way to get around car clogger urban settings.

i will try to keep you updated on the new shit,
but i get my best stuff from a handfull of great sites...
such as...
trackosaurusrex

and...

tokyo fixed gear blog

thats all for now... i can't give away all my secrets

a few questions to start us out?

why?...

did we tear down the sports arena without a new one built?

won't we allow a casino downtown?

are there no bike lanes?

are the suburbs trying to eliminate public transportation?

instead of attempting C.P.R. on downtown, attention is shifting to "Consumerist Mayberry"

 i.e. Fallen Timbers, and Levis Commons?
