I recognized my friends Angus and Jumbo but where the fucc is mister cargo Martin “Banana” himself? Anyway looks like fun and our messenger friends won something but I’m not really sure what. And supposably there had to be a race with bike cops against couriers on fixies but:

The newly formed Copenhagen Bicycle Police Unit were supposed to show up and race against bike messengers on fixies but they backed out at the last minute. Chicken shits. I’m figuring that they were afraid of losing so soon after their debut on the streets. And they would have lost as the fixie boys were bloody fast. They beat an All-Star team on Bullitts in the final race.

So Ill guess we wait a while…

Around 14:00, 14:30 bike polo on our new polo court!

Well I’ve been to the Paria alleycat in Den Haag. And fist of all it showed us that it isn’t easy to organize a alleycat. A couple of things went wrong, we had to go to a checkpoint somewhere in a (hugh)park? In all my years as a messenger I never had to deliver something “somewhere around that neighborhood”.
Then there was a checkpoint that wasn’t there jet and everybody had to wait for the checkpoint to show up and the whole group came together again. And in through messenger style everything took a fucced up long time to start so the whole alleycat, first race, sprints, second race and tricks took about 7 or 8 6 hours.

So did you like it you may ask. Hell yeah, it was really good to see so manny guys and girls show up (27 I belief). And besides the old and familiar faces there were a lot of new ones. Like the guy’s from Enschede who had a 3 hour train ride to get to Den Haag. And don’t forget the police chase to the beach which always makes it more exiting.

And our team from Haute Equipe did some good business for the “kattebak“, cause our man “Meneer” Eddie (formally know as Special Ed) took the first place in the race.
And this old guy won the fixie trick shit and went home with a couple of MKS pedals sponsored by our friends of RFG, thanks Roy!

So Willemjan, thank you of a really good day over in Den Haag and we will see you back in Eindhoven.

First place “Meneer” Eddie

Pica credits Michael also more pictures of the Paria alleycat.

p.s. Looking at this picture I realized something, we need some kind of team outfit. So “ploegleider” when can we ride in our own outfits? Now it looks like “Meneer” Eddie rides for Cycloon and the other one looks like a bum and needs a haircut (or is that his helmet).

Not much just one pica but hé bike porn is bike porn!

Macaframa premiere in Austin, Texas and it looks like a good party. But what I like the most is the mobile sound system and although I know my good friend Joep isn’t going to read this (he doesn’t got internet or a computer) Ill promise him I’m building a bike like that, I will be riding and you turn your records. The only thing you got to promise me is that you keep it low on the echo.

Damn Kym!!!

And is she challenging Felipe (5:39)?

[edit] The user set the video to private so we have to wait for the new edit. Meanwhile I found a couple of nice “tilt-shift” pictures.

This is a video clip produced for the first Shanghai Bike Polo league. Their first game took place on the 18th April, and a bunch of local and foreign bikers showed up at the Shanghai Indoor Stadium and practically made history – show casing fixed gear bikes, homemade bamboo mallets, speedy actions and of cause, random casualties.
