Flagstaff Open Alleycat

Can we call it a peak, or is fixie culture going to stay around? Pollard pulled off what I think is the first Alley Cat in Flagstaff. Of course, I’m so old, I’ve never even been to one, the closest I came, were some 3 hour training rides with Gubba Gubba Domenic and I thought that shit sucked, and was killing my junk the entire time. Regardless, nice work Pollard and RobothouseTV for the vid. It looks like a good time and considering that BGR gave up the sweet jersey, goddamned that’ s gay…

Hi
I work in PR at Oakley and will be attending Interbike. I would love to meet with an editor and go over what’s new for 2009. I’m looking for contact info if possible :)

Thank you!

Have a great day!

Fucked up is an understatement.

Also, it appears as though the girl who hit an older woman cyclist, then dragged her to the side of the road earlier this year is getting a slap on the wrist:

Ride safe out there.

I can’t say it any better than that.

Jonny, or whoever gets this… this is a win for the good guys – Illinois just passed a 3 foot law and it’s been enforced by a prosecutor who rides – sweet, sweet justice.  It’s nice to see something like this instead of “biker down” and hearing about cyclists getting screwed all the time.

You can call me “whoever” as long as you look up when you swallow. chalk one up for the good guys on that one…

    No Spare Bikes for Cock Racing.

    Nice paint but the goal of the Sponsor is to get people looking at the riders not the car. No one is looking BTW

    Cock Racing is gay
