In his <a href="http://bikenewhaven.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/its-about-to-get-wacky/">most recent post</a> he hints at discontinuing the blog. I'll admit I'm somewhat disappointed because his blog stood in a Purgatorical (yep, new word, I invented it) gray area between ours and the Elm City Cycling <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/elmcitycycling">ListServ</a>.<br />His recent post is highly recommended reading, however, and will give you an idea of what we're going to miss. He recounts a tale of a Yale grad being hit by a minivan whilst traveling along the Orange St. bike lane. The story is amusing, replete with an immigrant who's ID claims his name is <i>Abraham Lincoln</i>, and Bill's response to said story is hilarious.<br /><br /><i>BTW, I’m assuming you’re from out of town for these three reasons:<br /><br /> 1. You called Nica’s Market Nikita’s.<br /> 2. You actually used the bike lane on Orange Street.<br /> 3. You used the phrases “Un-Fucking believable” and “I shit you not.”<br /></i><br /><br />The bike lane on Orange Street, as any local will tell you, is a death trap. It typifies the type of urban planning New Haven likes to embrace. Somewhere between FUBAR and great idea, it represents a classic example of <i>"we didn't think this through"</i>. <br /><br />Bill, we're going to miss the blog!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://bikenewhaven.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/captplanet2.jpg?w=315&h=420"></center><br /><br /><br />Also of note, is Bill's link to the law firm of <a href="http://www.millslawfirm.org/PracticeAreas/Bicycle-Accidents.asp">Jonathan Mills</a> who has a bicycle-accident-specific department.Scorchers New Havenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431116448355488843noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313583275355620676.post-59658393918739291272009-05-25T15:43:00.004-04:002009-05-25T15:51:04.919-04:00Prolly vs. New Haven -- gapping fixedFound at the blog, <a href="http://theartoftrackstand.blogspot.com/"><i>The Art Of Trackstand</i></a>.

That was my first time to New Haven and doing an allycat and I had a great time. Everyone I met was really nice and helpful. Also, I got some nice stuff to take home. I will definitely be back to do another race."</i><br />-Jenny B. from Boston <br /><br /><i>It probably goes without saying, but I'm gonna say it. Maybe I'm just weak, but this was the HARDEST alleycat I've ever done, hands down. My legs are still sore today. Thanks for putting together such a bad-ass race. You all know I love long events, this one was dope! Hopefully we can put together something ridiculous and fun for KONE!</i><br />-Matt from <a href="http://www.ghostshipclothing.com/">Ghostship</a><br /><br /><i>You guys really knocked it out of the park on this one. Serious good times, good manifests, good checkpoint workers, fucking killer prizes... I got caught on the drawbridge, I rode down stairs, through a tunnel, on a dirt path, up a mountain, pushed my bike for a few miles, talked to liquor store owners... Such a good time.<br />My only only beef is that I'm from Bristol, not West Hartford. :)<br />Can't wait for KONE!</i><br />-Aaron from <strike>West Hartford</strike> Bristol, CT<br /><br /><i>I had a lot of fun and can't believe I pushed myself so hard (with a bad back to boot). But psyched I didn't get raped and killed riding the back way up east rock with no light in the fog, doubly psyched I won the cannondale bike (!!?), and triply psyched Eric and I can walk through our sun porch now that all the dozens of boxes of prizes and wheel sets have nice happy homes!!<br />BIG THANKS again to of course my sweetie Eric, and my other sweetie Drew Nemetz for getting SO many ridiculous prizes (?!?!) and Justin and Amity for the frames and everything else and Brian and all the scorchers for sticking with it and everyone for coming out and making it a killer time !!!!!<br />I think I just got all my energy back....</i><br />-Pandalicia<br /><br /><i>i want to say thank you to drew, eric and uva for taking my baby and making it a monster! this shit was crazy. and to the rest of the crew, racers and workers, fucking awesome. this was the best race new havens seen and hopefully the foundation for the races to come. on to the next epic chapter of scorcherdom!</i><br />-Sean Milnes, Scorchers/<a href="http://openbicycle.com/">OPEN Bicycle</a> rider<br /><br /><br />This race was a blast to host -- possibly more so than it was to race. Last year's participants asked for it to be longer. Yep, it was longer. First Place (Raf) finished in just under 3 hours, and there were people who were still working on their first (3 or 4 total) manifest. The DFL crew came in <i>well</i> into the afterparty.<br />Congrats to all, and a huge thanks to all who helped, raced, sponsored, or bought Drew drinks!Scorchers New Havenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431116448355488843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313583275355620676.post-73362317051919810562009-05-17T19:13:00.007-04:002009-05-19T22:07:16.055-04:00Grand Theft Velo 3 in pictures (Volume 1)Some photos posted so far from this weekend's Grand Theft Velo 3 in New Haven, CT....<br /><br /><center><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W9oWOUGRDic/ShAZFjf6nDI/AAAAAAAABLQ/JbQVNHGnZAM/s320/GTV.jpg" width=400><br />from the <a href="http://tyrantbmx.blogspot.com/">Tyrant BMX</a> blog and Tony's <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tyrantbmx/">flickr</a>.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs014.snc1/4490_565220636607_45600360_33305818_2970004_n.jpg" width=400><br />NH Scorcher Dan Nugent vs. Austin Scorcher Dan Nicely.
