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

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

The … Continue reading The Soilder Ride

The night began at Fixed Gears … Continue reading sunday night pier tour

a chopper, a pennyfarthing and a fixie walk into a bar

This has been a common sight the last few days around the island at various bars and houses. Scott rides the chopper he built. Dave has been rocking the pennyfarthing, which also doubles as a bike rack when not moving. I got the rack and lights. never a dull moment in Key Wierd.

A Rollerskating Jam Called Saturday

Saturday, Saturday, it’s a Saturday. 5 whole days of work and one whole day to play De La Soul knew what was up, but my pedicab shift on Saturday was the farthest thing from work and yet I got Paid in Full. The line between work and fun is completely blurred, perhaps even eradicated, on … Continue reading A Rollerskating Jam Called Saturday
