Tales From The Crit is the first-ever Fixed Gear Criterium race ever organized locally. Organized by a small group of cycling enthusiasts, the race will be an opportunity to bring together as many Fixed Gear cyclists from around the region in this community that has been steadily growing. The race is not about finding out who has the fastest legs and the strongest lungs but a chance to tighten the cycling community. We, the organizers are hoping that this event will not be the first and last of its kind here in Singapore but we are hoping that it will grow into a must-go event that happens annually or even bi-annually

Happy Friday, y’all! Can I get a ROCK CHALK??!?!?!?! Quick shout out to by boys in crimson and blue, good luck tonight Jayhawks!

Since March Morris Madness is in a full swing, I will regrettably be missing out on Critical Mass tonight. Meeting at Sunfresh Market most likely leaving around 7. After you ride to the river, come back up the hill for KCSprints at Buzzard Beach! Pedal 500 meters as fast you can, if you don’t puke you aren’t trying hard enough!

Conversation overheard between two NYC messengers this week:

“Hey dude, are you and your lady going to the Philly Bike Formal? And what the heck is this important ‘corsage’ thing I keep hearing about?”

“A corsage is basically an expensive bracelet made of flowers.”

“Wow, really? I thought it was some sort of wacky outdated bike part I’d never heard of before.”

Fancy flowers aside, the 7th annual PBMA Winter Bike Formal is coming up this weekend in Philadelphia and it promises to be a ton of fun!  It starts Saturday, February 19th at 7PM with a group ride (during which everyone should be adorned in their best formal wear) and ends in a giant party at the M-Room from 9pm-2am. According to the invite, you can expect “raffle prizes, drink specials, guest bartenders, midnight champagne toast, [prom] King and Queen, best dressed, and a special photo booth provided by DemonCats.com.”

If you’ll be around Philly this weekend but can’t make it to the formal on Saturday (or if you just want to burn off some calories before attempting to squeeze into your old prom dress), there will also be a pre-formal alley cat and goldsprints on Friday night.

Now go dust off those sparkly shoes and please be careful not to get any chiffon stuck in your chain!

Enough with the trash talk, if you think you have what it takes to earn KC Street Cred come out and race every Saturday in Feburary! Registration at 2:30 pm, race at 3! There will be cash prizes for top women at EVERY STAGE, so come out and race ladies!!! First race is the KC Crusade! $5 to race. Meet at Volker Velowerx @ 18th & Wyandotte.

I am really bummed that i am unable to make it for this event. For those who could, time to start planning, registering and settle your accomodations. Head down to Bali!! A 3 days fixie event not to be missed.

Halloween calls for an Alley Cat, of course! This year, Nick and I put together a trail of clues leading to candy in Honolulu’s haunted spots. People dressed up all crazy, making the evening much more entertaining!

My cohost, Super Nick:

Morten Salt girl, Zoolander hand model, and Seth and Sau as each other.

Misosoup Clockwork Orange:

The biking viking!

Kickstand owners Cyrus and Nicky went all out as muppets!

Basically awesome costumes!

Unfortunately the clue trail wasn’t as easy to follow as we expected, with candy and clues disappearing and a crazy party downtown blocking the way to a clue.. but all in all, fun was had!

Other updates.. A female cycle club, the Hub Honeys, was started to promote ladies learning mechanics and crafts of bikes! A small group got together on Friday to sort out fundamentals and learn how to fix flats. We’ll be meeting every 2nd friday around 6:30 at Cycle Manoa on the UH campus to have a small mechanics lesson or an arts and craft project, followed by a ride. I’m really excited about this.. it seems like it will be really strong and empowering! I’ll be sure to get photos next time!
