An awesome cycling chick, Marissa Eshima, who is completing an art degree at the University of Hawaii has created some super neat bicycle prints. They were made with 2-4 woodblocks each, with inspiration from her friends’ bicycles. She has made 9 prints that I am aware of, with these few being my favourites.

Take a peek at cycleangelo’s newest Bike Check 212 vid, featuring Jarah sittin pretty on 650c’s! His camerawork and tight editing explore each rider’s individuality through their gear. Looking forward to the next Bike Check 212!

In the spirit of The Fantastic Four being a fun and relatively safe late nite spookycat, the BBG is giving racers a preview of the checkpoint destinations. Thanks to Matt Urlaub for designing this KILLER map! See you guys on Saturday!

I’m not sure who this artwork belongs to, let me know if you do

The Bike Film Festival is in it’s tenth year and it’s coming to Sydney!

See ya there!

LLAZY is shooting a music video Sunday evening at the corner of Mulberry and St. Louis Ave in the West Bottoms around 9:30/10. They need a big gang of bikers to be filmed chasing them! Think……

Here’s more info from the director, Joshua Gately:

“Have you ever wanted to back hand Zachary VanB or punch Michael Boles in the stomach? We’ll here is your chance to pretend. I am shooting a scene to be used as a rear projection in an upcoming music video for Llazy. Here is the low down: dress gutter punk as fukc (I’m thinkin’ Repoman, Decline of Western Civilization, Road Warrior, or just don’t bathe and wear black w/ safety pins) and show up on a bicycle because it’s a chase …scene and I will be filming everyone following me down N James ST to the Louis and Clark Trail and under HWY 69. I am no Ed Wood so we will probably do three takes and if anyone has one of those helmet cams bring it along. I could use some fill shots for jump cuts. Weapons are encouraged (bats, chains, maces, but absolutely NO FIREARMS) I need some bludgeoning footage. Bring friends. The bigger the crowd the better. I will supply some beer and water for hydration.“

Hopefully this will be part of my costume…

During the festivities, the fabulous McPuzo & Trotsky have agreed to entertain the tweed brethren! This local Bay Area banjo and fiddle pair have been writing fine Songs which Satirize and Amuse since 1917. Before that it was pretty much all crowbars and playing with leeches.
