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)

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!

John and Amber

I barely caught this cute couple as they passed the shop riding together on a fixie. I wish I had a whole lot more interesting things to write....but i do not...but I really like this photo...so look at it again and quit reading this mindless drivel. thank you, carry on...

I have a foam sword and its pretty much the greatest thing ever

Well, until today. Tonight I took off the basket and riser bar and replaced them with a simple bullhorn and removed my rear fender. I have been rocking the sword for weeks now. Its great deterrent to stumbling drunk tourists in the middle of the street and really nice for spanking! The basket shall soon … Continue reading I have a foam sword and its pretty much the greatest thing ever

Sunday Funday…..Meeeooow!

Just another day in Key West. Cats riding zebras. purrrrrrr....... Rusty Conch Cruisers or crazy fixies...this is a bicycling town!

The Space Shuttle is in Town! and other wierdness

Last Friday I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be the Space Shuttle driving down Duval Street. The spacecraft was a little smaller than expected; but the tail fin and color scheme is pretty dang recognizable. It must have been it, but I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough; that thing is a … Continue reading The Space Shuttle is in Town! and other wierdness

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
