salim points to the follow, well drivel, is probably too light a word, how about piece of shit:

"With the grit and mettle for counterculture acceptance, the Capo lives, breathes and bleeds the fixed-gear lifestyle. And when it's time to take it easy, just flip the hub for freewheel bliss."

IN THE FACE!!!!

Sheldon Brown - RIP

I just learned that Sheldon Brown died February 3rd.

Probably the most important person to fixed gear bikes in the United States after Major Taylor.

I can't even tell you how many hours I spent in online conversation with this man. En-cycle-opedic knowledge of all things bike, but especially all things fixie.

A good man; proud of his family and proud of intellect in a way I have always admired.

the raddest new invention in fixies

how I missed these kids making this video is going to be one of those things I regret for the rest of my life:



there is some incredible beauty in mission hipsters making fun of mission hipsters, but damn, this is good.

fly yamaguchi

so, those folks in my corner of the world know the kokopelli is actually a yamaguchi. what they don't know is that after years of there being only two yamaguchis in san francisco (mine and a really fly silver colored one some messenger had) I have now seen two new ones. a blue one (found parked in front of Keith Huf's store on Hayes and a white one) somewhere in (duh) the mission. I don't know if it means anything in the larger sense, but I am frankly happy that there are more yamaguchi track bikes out there in the world.

give 'em what they want

so someone posted a comment saying post more and more pictures.

conveniently I had just found some old pics hidden on a broken camera:

these would be from worlds in 2005 in LA. wes oishi rocked us with the great seats. a blast was had. dropped the ball and missed scott from fixed gear fever though, lame of me.
