Mission Workshop Storefront!

Today I stopped by the @missionworkshop storefront. This place is really cool! Rai, who runs the storefront, let me know that they have only been open about a month and they are still getting it dialed in. It looks pretty good to me guys. Maybe just add a fridge, for beer of course, and this will be my new spot to kick it on Friday<--- HINT!

Oh yeah, as a bonus they are the only spot in San Francisco that sells OUTLIER clothing.

If you are in the SF-Bay area please make sure you go by and swoop their new rolltop jam THE SHED

San Francisco Takes Bike Theft.. Seriously.

@sfbc
Sting operations using high-tech devices to nab bicycle thieves will be conducted by police in a move to curb the thefts as bicycle commuting increases in The City.
Transponders that allow electronic tracking by police will be hidden on decoy bicycles positioned to be stolen, according to preliminary plans by police and bicycle advocates. The program is expected to begin this summer......

Sharrows... Finally.

I forgot to post this last week. I had to take a different route to work on tuesday last week, (running an errand) and choose to take 4th street across the city. 4th st, is kind of the unofficial, official bike blvd, of Los Angeles. It crosses the whole city, no real traffic on it super wide, nice scenery, (trees and cool houses and shit) So I was taken by surprise when I found Sharrows on it. (at least the start of 4th street) While this great for LA and I fully support it, I just wish the Sharrows being put down in the city, at first be put on major streets, DTLA, Hollywood, my commute to the wesside, etc... I don't understand why the first streets to get them are streets that are already known as "the bike blvd" or fountain? Streets that are highly used be cyclists, kind of don't need them. It's awesome that is being done, and want to see the city covered in them...

Fast Forward: Guess who won.....

Wow. What a weekend... Greg, myself and the lil homie Roger, rode out to Encino early Saturday, to take the training class, just before the Fast Forward event. It was alot of fun, and got Greg ready for what was about to happen later that day. I must say this was a really well done event, big thanks to Encino for letting us have it there, huge thanks to Dustin (Cadence) and DVS for putting it on. Good Job homies! Big props to Jack for coming out and smashing on everyone.... I love that you're gonna be holding it down for LA in SF. Props to Woody for getting second, and big ups to everyone else who raced!! What an awesome day, I'm still recovering...

Finally, it's here. Tomorrow is gonna be awesome. I have plans to ride out Encino early, with some of my doods, take a few turns around the track, go get some lunch, come back and race and kick it. Come out everyone, this is not one to be missed.

Via Candence, See you guys tomorrow!!!

While this is awesome in its own way, what's become annoying is the constant updates on twitter stating this fact. Knock it off! We know your there!!! Hahahahaha. Jk, JK,

I want to give a big shout out to Dustin at Cadence and his crew from DVS for setting up a good event at a pretty sweet location. It was right behind the SF Fair next to AT&T Stadium. LA you better hold it down because FERGUS, the cat who won, is a Monster.

Here he is all alone at least 45 seconds ahead of everyone.

Fast Forward: Please race safely this Saturday.

So, this coming Saturday, is this race at Encino. A lot of newbies to the track will be out that day, I strongly suggest you go to the class being held earlier that day, if you have never raced on the track before. It can be very dangerous for you and your fellow racers, if you don't know what the fuck you are doing. There are gonna be all levels of abilites out there on Saturday, and I want everyone to make it through the day safely. Here's a link to a post Joe put up a little while ago, please read. Just be safe out there Saturday, if you're not sure of racing on the track, don't push your luck, just watch and have a good time. I still get nervous racing on the track. It can be scary. However, the whole day will be a blast and fun in the sun, so come out.

Official T-Level Infinity Rolltop Backpack Review

Alright, here we go... I recently acquired a T-Level Infinity Rolltop Backpack from my homie Kevin at StrykerLA. Now, not much is known in the states about T-Level bags, so I decided to do a review. When I first saw these on the interwebs, I thought, "damn, what a good looking bag" and really compared it to SAG bags in design. Once I got my hands on one, I realized that's where the comparison stops. There is so much more going on with this bag then SAG could ever come up with.. Enjoy the review...

Burro Bags : Chronic Series

Here's the Deet from our friends at Burro Bags

The latest iteration of our ever-popular foot retention system are ready to hit the streets. Built with a new tubular webbing, these straps are even stronger with a flexible feel, able to take a beating but easier to break in. We've lengthened the top closure and and the tapered straps for added surface area and enhanced velcro holding strength. Available in three brighter, bolder colorways (Black Gold, Orange Kush, and Grape Ape) these straps are online now and coming to retail stores soon.

Nice!

I Sidi LA!

About three weeks ago, I finally made the move, I should've done years ago. I guess, I had to get over not riding in sneakers to be able to do it. The only thing is, I have now realized, that my sneaker game is about to blow up, because I won't be afraid to ruin sneakers by riding in them anymore.

I love it. There really is no better way to ride. So much more power, better stopping abilities, and it fucking feels badass as fuck. You feel like man amongst boys. I can't wait til my road bike is finished and I get road shoes for that machine. Oh yea, what kind of setup do I run? Sidi Dominator 5s and Time ATAC MTB pedals (2010 version). Couldn't ask for better setup. If you're into riding track bikes really fast, and you're on the fence about making the switch. Do it. Don't wait as long as I did, (too long) you'll regret it, trust. It changes your whole riding world. Improves everything. Speed, cadence, strength, and climbing, I think the best for me was, I was about to switch my gearing from a 48/17/16 to a 49/16, but because of the new muscles I'm building through better pedals strokes there's no need. (right now at least) Super happy, that I made the switch.

PS. I forgot to add this.... My homie Devon sez... "Going clipless? It's the new aerospoke" So get on it!!!

Update: I totally forgot the most important question people have been asking. "how is it skidding?" Magical, you lock it up with ease, just no whip skids, lock it up then drift. Full seated skids going 25+, barely trying to do it...... The best.

We got what we asked for....

LAPD will be attending next week's Critical Mass. Hope it goes down smoothly.
A bit of advice for everyone going....
1. Don't drink in public
2. No "Safety meetings"
3. Front and rear lights
4. You ride brakeless, put a brake on, or rig something that looks like a brake
5. Under 18, Wear a helmet (you should anyways)
6. Don't run Red lights or Stop signs (unless the normal corking is going on, or LAPD is blocking traffic)
7. Hold one Lane

LAPD is coming out next friday, so show them some respect, but be aware LAPD will be watching for all of this and more.
So don't fuck this up for all of us by being stupid. I think it's a great idea, if it goes well...

You and I know, they will be ticketing for all of these violations. Just be safe, ride with them, show them that we're not
Animals and deserve the same respect everyone else does.

Epic Benefit Concert: Results!

Wow. What a party. First off, Congrats to the Kitchen for throwing such amazing event. Good times with old and new friends.
Still waiting on how much the Kitchen made that night, but to set off Jesse Kretschmer, won the BareKnuckle with a winning bid of $785!!! Congrats dude! I made out pretty well myself, got the Limited edition Chubby Boob, Lakers Tee, a pair of Swrve Knickers, 10 lbs of coffee, and a couple of other t-shirts, FTW! Very be careful played an amazing set, to close the night. Got everybody up dancing, and sweating out the problems of the day, they are amazing. If you're ever in LA, please take the time to go see these guys. A couple of other local bands played, but I was outside having beers and conversations, so I really can't comment of those groups. (sorry dudes) The funniest part of the night, was that, there was a Beautiful/ Decay "colt 45" party next door at an art gallery. In the back, behind the two spaces was the smoking section, that was divided by a thin strip of plastic. So, you had cyclists going over and collecting as much Colt 45 as they could and art types coming across to see what the fuss was all about. It made for a really good mix of folks for both parties. Epic.

Thanks again to the Bicycle Kitchen for throwing this party and here's to Five more years on Helitrope!!! Thanks for all your hard work!!!
