I have been pretty dang slack updating this website. Mostly because I got too bogged down trying to select photos to post from the Invasion of the Tourists alleycat race. Too many great photos! Too much fun. But i have been busy! I have focused more attention in growing Bicycles First!. I will still write … Continue reading bicyclesfirstkeywest.org

I have loved bicycles since I could ride them and am now trying to make a living fixing, promoting and advocating bicycles and riding bicycles. Please support my tiny shop in Key West and the larger one on the interwebs at chillysbicycleshop.com! I love being semi-lost and having just enough of a plan to be safe but open to anything. If you enjoyed any of the blurry photos or survive the awful writings, please leave a message or two, it means a lot! Now go for a ride!
Seven Mile Bridge Ride April 9, 2011
Good morning from the Seven Mile Bridge! A few friends and I caught rides up to the north end of the bridge where thousands of runners and spectators were gathered for the annual Seven Mile Bridge Run. For several hours, busy Rt. 1 will be shut down at both ends of the bridge, leaving a … Continue reading Seven Mile Bridge Ride April 9, 2011

Invasion of the Tourists alleycat race
The first alleycat of 2010! sorry for the late flyer...or is it early for island time?!?! I dunno...but i do know this will be a fun race and the afterparty will be as much fun as y'all make the photos funny.

Piers and Beers II (last week!) not to be confused with two weeks ago or tonight! (ha! all that was written over a week ago, so 2 is three and stuff)
Pollard and I flashing the K W, a hand gesture popular with the fixie gangs of the island. Word life. I almost decided not to write a post, but only a really, really long title; but alas, I cannot insert photos into the title area; and what would a KWVelo post without photos be like? I'll … Continue reading Piers and Beers II (last week!) not to be confused with two weeks ago or tonight! (ha! all that was written over a week ago, so 2 is three and stuff)

Piers and Beers
There's a jolly group of us who frequently embark upon late night rides we call "pier tours." We tend to ride to a bunch of piers, beaches, lanes and generally have some fun just pedaling around with lose goals of where to go. A few weeks ago we decided to make it kind of official … Continue reading Piers and Beers
office chair all crashed up and sad looking on Truman Ave
This is an example of when drunken office chairing goes wrong. We've all been a little irresponsible before, in our younger years with drinking and operating office chairs. Some of our three of four readers may remember the first office chair post advocating for cyclists to open their hearts and bike racks to our office … Continue reading office chair all crashed up and sad looking on Truman Ave
more exciting coca-cola crate pictures
Cookies! I took this while camping at Burlingame State Park in Rhode Island and commuting to the beaches every morning. As seen here, the crates work quite well to carry an assortment of beach sundries including cookies. I really like cookies! The cool thing about camping here is Blue Shutters beach and miles of preserved … Continue reading more exciting coca-cola crate pictures
score!
I spotted a healthy stack of low sided plastic crates curbside on trash night a few weeks ago and scooped them up with an awed quickness. Why did someone toss these out!?!?! And how has nobody taken them yet!? Lucky timing for me. These are my favorite style and they work really well mounted to … Continue reading score!
