[vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/22112972 w=600&h=375]
This Saturday, Idle Hands in SF will be hosting a "Get What You Get" event. $60 gets you a random tattoo out of the gumball machine. There's going to be a show on top of the building while artists work down below. Tattoos, music.. YUP.
This will be all going down during the Lower Haight Art Walk. It's going on from 12-6pm. On top of that, RVCA's having a show from 7-10 in Upper Haight. The only thing left, and most important, is FREE BEER. Get on it.

Failed Bike Thief
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-zJQzi7dMg&rel=0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3]
Remember this video? If you don't, it's of a bicycle thief who fails to steal a bicycle from a rack after a woman runs over and knocks him off. Turns out, she's from WCG up here in SF. And while she and crew didn't continue pursuing the thief, it was probably the better idea because later, he pulled a knife on security guards. The best part? He ill locked his other bike before attempting to steal the other and in the debacle, dropped his lock key. Security found it and confiscated his whip. Dope.

Cykelrum
Every Swedish apt. building has the Cykelrum. Basically bike storage for the building in the basement.
It's the whole basement floor, hundreds of bikes piled in these rooms. It was crazy and wish I had more
photos of the madness. Nothing really to crazy in the realm of what the bikes were. They were all pretty
interchangeable. Cruisers, Mix-ties, old world war era bikes, Mt. bikes., not too many road bikes or
Track bikes were seen on this trip.
The funniest thing about the Swedes, is how the care for their bikes.
They don't. The bike breaks, and they just get another one, don't think of getting
repairs done or learning themselves. It's not like they are highend bikes. The bikes
are like Wal-mart bikes or bikes handed down through the years and family member
to family member. However, they all ride and day everyday. The cities are based on the bicycle.
It was pretty cool to see that. A country where the bike is king, and you
ain't special cause you ride one. Everyone does.

Cykeloket!
So I'm gonna start jumping into this trip recap. I'm start off with the one of
the coolest things that happened. My cousin's, my Sister, Ben and I were doing a tour of
their hometown of Malmo by bikes (more on swedes and their bikes later), when I really needed
to adjust my saddle height. We were by a skatepark and I saw a workstand set up and folks
working on their bike. I asked to use their tools and Ben and kelly chatted the guy who was
running the spot. It turns out, it was called "Cykeloket" Swedish for "Bicycle Kitchen"!
The guy tells us a story and show us news clippings about how the place got started.
It was inspired by the LA Bicycle Kitchen! Ben speaks up at this point and says, "I'm one
of founders of that bike kitchen on LA" The guy was floored and it really shows what a small
world we live in. LA bike culture inspiring Swedish riders.
Pretty fucking cool.

Outlier: The Anorak
After being in Sweden and falling in love with riding fashion over there, this is
exactly what I wanted to see for fall. Outlier never ceases to impress.
Details from Outlier:
We never rush development at Outlier, some garments fall together quickly while others take forever. This garment has been in the making for nearly as long as we've been around so we're pretty excited to finally have it in our hands. The Anorak started as a simple pullover windbreaker, and took an evolutionary leap when we started experimenting with a magnetic adjustable front piece.
The Anorak uses a pullover construction with two way zippered side vents for superior ventilation. The adjustable magnetic front piece lets you protect your neck in style. An articulated sleeve construction (a modified version of our pivot sleeve) allows for a full range of movement. A double sided kangaroo front pocket, rear zippered carry pocket and Lampo partial-front zip complete the picture.
The 3XDry Cotton Linen fabric has a sturdy hand feel that combines the soft touch of cotton with the crisp handle of linen. The 3XDry treatment moves moisture away from the body on the inside and repels water on the outside while always drying swiftly for optimal comfort.
This is an Outlier Experimental Edition. A limited edition release of a product we hope to produce in full in the future.

Speaking of Thieves...
Last weekend someone broke into the Encino Velodrome and stole a bunch of items,
including donated prizes for the weekly race series going on Wednesday's. Pretty shitty.

Bikes beat a plane...
The day after I left on my trip, some of the fastest guys in LA whooped up on a Jet Blue plane.
It took the Wolves 1hr 34mins from Burbank to Long Beach, amazing.

Got a lot to catch to up on, I'll be kind of all over the place with my posts. Got a lot of things to cover, so
get ready to read!
First up:
Fyxation x Answer: SEVENTY75 Stem
Details from the homies:
"We are pleased to announce that the new Fyxation SEVENTY75 stem is now available! We’ve been looking to come out with a stem for a while and rather than re-invent the wheel, we partnered with Answer Products to launch a co-branded version of their DJ Stem. The SEVENTY75 stem has a 31.8mm clamp and is available in 35mm and 50mm lengths to perfectly dial in your reach. Available colors – pewter stem body with 5 different color face plates (black, white, green, orange and pink) that are exclusive to Fyxation. MSRP is only $74.95!
The SEVENTY75 stem is made out of high strength 7075 series alloy and comes with a wide faceplate for added stiffness and evenly distributed clamp force. Originally designed for dirt jump applications, the SEVENTY75 stem is ideal for any MTB, park or street rider looking for a high end stem that’s built to take abuse. (Fyxation Hollow Bolt Top Cap available as an accessory for bar spins)."
