So every gal, grab a guy, or another gal, race your hearts out, and end up partyin' for a good cause with some of that money you saved dirtbaggin' it at the Devo concert.

Jocko Homo.

Just a quick update for anyone in the neighborhood tonight, Devo is playing in McCarren Park Pool at 6pm, so drop by to place an order on your frame, then walk up the block and whip it, whip it good.




(Tickets are $52, so look for the pack of dirty bike dudes with BMWs' peeking over the fence.)

Canuck Coin Purse.

The 2008 Cycle Messenger World Championships were held in Canada last week, and Brooklyn rider Austin Horse left his obligations in NYC to battle it out with professional couriers around the world.

He placed first in the Alleycat, defending his title from this year's Monstertrack, and earned fourth overall for the week. Congratulations!

Big props to the organizers for running a tight ship with none of the confusion from last year.
(Special thanks goes out to Austin's hosts in Montreal who gave him valuable lessons about life up north. For instance: Be kind to ugly strippers - small denomination Canadians dollars are minted in coin, so those strippers that don't leave the stage with $100 bills tucked into their G-strings have incredible upper body strength after lugging sacks of change home every night. They'll mess you up.)

He Got Toe Jam Foot Ball...

Screw the I-phone. Today's blogs blew up with the collaboration Brooklyn Park Bikes made to round out the release of DJ Clark Kent's 112 pack Air Force One, coined from the zip code of our own humble borough.
Check out any of the Sneaker Blogs for full details of the build, and check out Dan Bowhers proving what you can do on a Brooklyn, even if your kicks don't match your frame.


Yo,Nike...where're our sneaks?

Gettin' Those Dolla Dolla Billz.

2 wheel battles popped up all over the Tri-State region over the weekend and Brooklyn riders were all over that shiz.
Pictures are worth a thousand words, but Brooklyn Factory rider Anson Wellington will split the difference in cold hard cash.
Pictures are coming out as Livers come back on-line, so in the meantime imagine it was just like this except with Union Square for the Coloesseum, and dread-locked Trinidadians instead of white guys in tunics.

Way to go Anson!
