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. You will need a digital camera for this one and need to take photos … Continue reading Invasion of the Tourists alleycat race
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!
towing stuff
First, thank you to Pollard for taking this photo and sending it to me. Just another day in Key Wierd. I sometimes tow my kayak with my bicycle, and this dude sometimes tows his jet ski with his bicycle. I've seen an assortment of trailers on the island towing Mallory Square retail space, street vending … Continue reading towing stuff
sometimes it’s a really good idea to totally ignore what mom tells you to do!
I really wish i remembered this gentleman's name. He arrived at the shop with his seat mounted to a wooden dowel on his bicycle because he needed a new seat post! The dowel was his only available alternative to walking. Well done! As awesomely great as that story was, it was only a small part … Continue reading sometimes it’s a really good idea to totally ignore what mom tells you to do!
handlebar madness
I caught this bicycle a few weeks ago while riding to The Bottle Cap for a few drinks. I've never seen such a combination of handlebars and bar ends. I wonder if the rider is super super super duper tall!?!? Its mos def a Conch Cruiser with the obligatory basket, fender and handcuffs for a … Continue reading handlebar madness
