So, right now I'm in Chicago with my brother looking at a few places to live. After seeing the post below of BmoreSam , I noticed how he looks like my old roommate Phil Lique. Can you say Doppelganger.

Happy New Year

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all went off and got big-boy jobs and computers died, and dogs ate things, and everybody hates ftw, and we've got excuses.
Bright side is, we've also got Baltimore Sam in a GTV3 shirt by Roll Deep on a Milwaukee Bruiser won at Grand Theft Velo....

Hit up the Ghostship blog for Hartford Cyclocross action...

...which apparently featured a downhill section:





Per the norm, Matt, the Commodore of the Ghostship, had plenty of merch:



...and a Scorcher contingent:

that's Doug Jenne, Ghostship team rider, Scorcher extraordinaire

Milnes on Prolly yet again. Bootleg?

Sean's been popping up on Prolly's site a bit more. Something to do with a Bootleg Sessions part??? Pix by Tyrant.

Found out via Sean's Twitter that he spent the weekend in Boston filming with Keena and the OPEN crew.

Well, I was just informed by Brian Kaspr( BKaspr.com) that he was hit by a car. He says he and his bike(whsch came to his as a prize in GTV3) are fine. Unfortunately he lost a rear wheel. Hope all is alright.

Benny Gold x Velocity Rims

Dropping these two toned rims

They all come with a gold colored aluminum card and custom sticker. The black section of the card is chemically etched into the metal. Each card has the set number stamped directly into the metal.

The rims will be available in select bike shops and online exclusively right here in the shop

hope to get a pair myself, I also believe that they are all numbered.

custom is as custom does

Ahhh Yeah!

You're going to have to check out this one (NSFW) by clicking

Links to photos. GTV, Valley Kitten, Haven Death Rail Jam

Found via RE:New Haven, Kama's Flickr. He's also got pix from the start of the Valley Kitten (which, by the way, the Scorchers destroyed), but, alas, all his photos are "spaceballed" so you'll just have to follow those flickr links.

Tyrant's got photos up from Haven Skatepark's "Death Rail Jam" at their flickr.

Want something bigger than B43's?

Then check out Velocity's new rims made for Rocky Mountain High Wheels...

Abraham Lincoln and the future of BikeNewHaven blog

Our friend Bill's Bike New Haven blog has been dormant for some time now. In his most recent post 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 ListServ.
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 Abraham Lincoln, and Bill's response to said story is hilarious.

BTW, I’m assuming you’re from out of town for these three reasons:

1. You called Nica’s Market Nikita’s.
2. You actually used the bike lane on Orange Street.
3. You used the phrases “Un-Fucking believable” and “I shit you not.”


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 "we didn't think this through".

Bill, we're going to miss the blog!




Also of note, is Bill's link to the law firm of Jonathan Mills who has a bicycle-accident-specific department.

Prolly vs. New Haven -- gapping fixed

Found at the blog, The Art Of Trackstand. The original is by Justin Keena. The rest of the set (and more Prolly gap pix) can be found at Justin's flickr set from Grand Theft Velo 3.
"Aldone" from TAOTS has another, all Italian, blog: Bicifissa.
