The Radavist

This is the third layout of the 2013 PiNP Calendar, entitled “The Lost Highway”. The camera, film used and location are located on the bottom left of the document.

On the first of each month, I’ll be posting a PDF file here on the site, allowing you to print this letter-sized document as you wish. Print as many copies as you’d like. Hand them out to friends or your local shop. It’s intended to be a free offering from the site, as a thank you to all the readers out there.

Spring is just around the corner and that means it’s time for rides that will kick your ass. The place where I go in the US for ass-kicking is Los Angeles. This stretch of the 2 is closed and for good reason. Falling rocks cover the road but man, is it other-worldly.

Enjoy!

(UPDATED LINK – Sorry, I accidentally uploaded the JPG to the Dropbox!)

I woke up a bit late this morning and opened Flickr to find this beaut staring me down. You can’t beat the colors in Provia 100F, especially in the Portland sunlight. Loving the film burn here and that machine!

Photo by Brenton Salo

Before this blog takes a nose dive into NAHBS, I wanted to share this portrait of Machew that Brenton Salo took on a sunny afternoon in Portland. Loving the tones here.

I met Hiro the last time I was in SF (which was RideNStyle) and followed his work, mostly via his Tumblr‘s RSS. It wasn’t until Tracko posted about his Flickr that I was directed over there. It’s damn good. So check it out.

That’s a great photo of Marc holing his new LOW. Miss ya dude!

CHECKPOINT!

Like all of Brenton’s photography, this shot of Devin hopping to wheelie over a short ledge came out so sick.

Between Damian and Brenton, I feel like I know the bike messengers in Portland. I’m loving the latest portrait of Sharky waiting on a delivery.

… I take the day off to ride with Lauren. We’re going to ride our bikes to a state park and relax. Regular posting will commence this evening.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!

CNN ran a piece online about Manual for Speed, the brainchild of Emiliano Granado and Daniel Wakefield Pasley. It’s not only great to see mainstream media covering cycling in a positive light, but this is great exposure for the dynamic duo of cycling photography. Check the piece out on CNN.

I came across these two exceptional photos on Flickr earlier this week and had to share. The top photo was taken at the Hoosier Pass in May 1976 and the bottom, the Blue Ridge Parkway in late July 1976 during the Bikecentennial76 Oregon to Virginia trip 12 friends embarked on. Only 9 completed and you can read more at DDsiple’s Flickr.

Now’s a good time to plan a tour!

My loved one is away on business but this should make her homesick.

One of my favorite dudes in Austin, BMX legend / Fairdale mastermind, Taj Mihelich was interviewed by the Albion‘s George Marshall for the Rapha Wayfaring blog. How’s that for a link-heavy opener? Make sure you check this one out!

I was riding down a fairly busy road coming back from the post office one day when I saw this hanging on a utility box. It’ wasn’t the first one that I’ve seen and sure wasn’t the last. Easy target, huh?

Yeah, the weather’s been really quite pleasant here. Sorry to rub it in! Enjoy your weekend, however you can…

I can just hear Yim whispering “fixie” looking at this photo. Such a great shot, Dylan. Full Frame Collective‘s always got the goods!

SS?

These four photos were in one of my last Recent Rolls and while it’s not enough for a full Photoset, they make for a nice reminder to support and tip (beer!) your local bike mechanic. In this case, East Side Pedal Pushers.
