Holy mother of Bike!

This is the BMX motherload! $20,000 starting bid gets you 10 bikes and a trailer.
Including these bikes:













I would love it if the trailer rolled through town, I'd like to see some of this tricked out bikes of old. They look similar to fixed gear bikes of today, with the paint combos that kids are rocking now days. Doing tricks that people were looking at back then.

Resurrection II

Another alley cat, come and gone. Taking place Saturday, 4/11, it was a collaborative effort, completed with the help of 7 other people, many whom of which were there last year and the same time, when Emerald City Bike Bloc came about. ECBB started as an effort to bring together bike riders in Seattle. To plan and promote events. Over the past year, a platform has been established in Seattle, a way to disseminate information about bike events, and many good times have been had.
Not always alley cat races; movie nights, benefits, and other bike events have been channeled through the catalyst of Emerald City Bike Bloc.

Personally, I have been nuts about bikes for quite a while now. Since moving to Seattle, I've been stoked to be involved with a bike community again. Though people ride bikes in Cordova, Alaska, there isn't much of a "culture" surrounding cycling.

I have been working on a few different projects as of late. A big chunk of time being devoted to these Emerald Sprints.

Stay tuned as summer rolls on and heats up. I'm sure many more events are on the horizon.

As for the Resurrection results:
Daniel took first place mens and RaeAnne came in first women's, so they both walked with amazing bags from Seagull Bags. The folks at Seagull really came through- not only in quality, but artistically, and the bags were here the day before the race. So nice. Check them out if you are looking for a quality bag at an affordable price.

There are some pics up at the Seattle Alley Cats Flickr page

Keep the rubber side down.

Bicycle Babe

Me and Bubba are going to karaoke this song.
"It's so depressing that as a woman I have to sing in a falsetto"

I'm on the road
I'm on my way
Give up the load
Become a bicycle babe
