The Radavist

I love how Ezra can turn an everyday project into a stellar machine like Jason’s Burlington Burner. He describes this as a neo-retro lugged MTB 29r cruiser with a two speed shift-kick. Wow. Check out more at the Fast Boy Flickr.

The newest video from Deux North‘s Hunt series is pretty rad. It’s not just a bunch of dudes climbing a mountain, there’s a dialog here, a tie in with the local’s favorite past time: the demolition derby. Check it out!

Here’s that full-length web video from Dosnoventa‘s time in NYC. Don’t forget to check out a few previous photosets below if you haven’t already!

… on a bike! Keep on top of his craziness at the Casey Neistat Facebook. On a serious note, my thoughts are with everyone who’s been affected by this storm.

This year, my friend Harry from NYC emailed me, asking if I’d be interested in riding from Brooklyn to Philly for the Bike Expo, like we did two years ago. I needed no persuading. I booked my ticket and before I knew it, I found myself in Brooklyn for a few days.

Today we rode to Philly and the route is amazing this time of year. I haven’t seen Autumn in years and man, it was in full vibrancy. Here’s a few Instagram shots, with 35mm on the way.

Our route looks complicated, but is actually pretty simple. Try it out yourself.

Outlier’s Fall 2012 line is looking amazing and each piece is highlighted in layers, movement and light, via the photography of Emiliano Granado.

Now that’s a winter fixed gear. Head over to Chari to check out more photos of John Igei’s bitchin’ BMW.

The NYC DOT has a new campaign out this month with the intent of increasing dooring awareness. I still think they should adopt the European method of opening the door with your opposing hand, so you’re forced to look in the direction of oncoming traffic but it’s a start. Still, staying three or four feet from a parked car helps considerably.

I saw this floating around Instagram today but needed a high-res photo to post. Luckily the Wheel Talk Fixed guys posted this up! The dudes at Grime will be hosting a premiere of Shredwell Two at the Chrome Store in NYC on Sept 26th. All ages and 21+ drink for free. Roll through! Pumped on this. I miss NYC.

It’s been a while but Brooklyn-based videographer Scott Marceau is back at it with another one of his Flip Clips. Here’s Volume 5, peep the rest below.

While a lot of companies are trying to cash in on Premium Rush with horrid “fixies”, Affinity was the company that supplied the movie with the bikes.   To commemorate this weekend’s premiere, Affinity has a limited supply of Premium Rush Affinity Metropolitan completes. Here’s the press-release:

“With the upcoming release of the movie Premium Rush, The Affinity Bicycle Co. has played a key role and supplied its Metropolitan and Kissena frame sets for the main character Wilee played by Joseph Gordon Levitt and Kym Perfetto, a NYC bike messenger and fitness guru who has a cameo and also worked as a stunt double for co star Dania Ramirez.

The Affinity Metropolitan ridden by Wilee is a street and track specific bike made from 4130 steel and created to handle to rigors of street riding but with the aggressive race geometry of a track bike. Unlike its predecessor the Lo Pro, Affinity’s first and more notable pursuit style track frame, the Metropolitan is a more understated work horse, with its stream lined look and straight blade fork. It comes street ready with front and rear brake options, making it legal on the road or pull the brakes off for use on the velodrome.

Catch the Metropolitan limited edition frame set in pure white, with the classic Affinity bladed crown lugged fork. Also available in limited quantities, Affinity will be supplying an original sticker pack. Make your bike rad by customizing the frame so its just like the movie bike.”

Check out more photos below and be sure to check the Affinity Blog for info on the group ride to the premiere.

If you’ve been a regular at any NYC alleycat in the past decade, chances are you’ve seen Daniel Leeb there with an entire crew documenting it. He’s been compiling video for the past ten years and has reached the point where he’s ready to do something with it. From the looks of the trailer, Messengers is a documentary about alleycats in NYC, following two key figures: Felipe and Alfred.

Cinecycle has a Kickstarter, so head over to help out.

I’ve known Dan for many years and before he was a road or cross racer, he was a bike messenger and a photography student. This “shoot as you go” mentality has done him well and with a recent purchase, he’s been keeping his blog up to date with candid photography like this. You should really follow him on Tumblr and make sure you Ask him all the tough questions like “how can I win the Red Hook Crit next year?”.

Let’s see. Track bikes, traffic and NYC. I’m sold!

I met the Dosnoventa guys while I was in NYC for the 2012 Red Hook Crit. Nice dudes, nice bikes and this is a nice video. I even make a cameo! Don’t forget to check out the related-posts below.

Since everyone keeps getting shafted on patches these days, you should head to HSUPER! and pick up a few. While Bear Mountain is more like Bear Hill (at 1,284′), it’s a great ride for people living in NYC. There and back tolls in about 140 miles. Even if you’ve never been, you should pick one of these up as motivation to go! If you fancy something else, there are other designs. Check them out here.
