London to Paris

· Comment

I haven’t trav­eled from Lon­don to Paris straight, but did over­sleep and miss a tour coach along with my room­mate this past March (too much exploring/partying I guess, and lack of sleep). We hopped on the Eurostar bul­let train to try and catch the rest of the Con­tiki group at the Lon­don Pub, but were 10-minutes late and had to catch the next one =\

Any­ways, ‘Lon­don to Paris’.

AllOrNothingproductions.com present ‘Lon­don to Paris’, directed by Grace Ladoja, doc­u­ments 10 rid­ers from all over the world mak­ing the track bike jour­ney from Lon­don to Paris to meet Lance Arm­strong as the Tour De France 2009 comes to a close. Made in asso­ci­a­tion with Nike Sportswear’s CTRS project, the film’s NYC pre­miere is set for late Octo­ber 2009… stages09.com

Had the oppor­tu­nity to cross the Golden Gate Bridge last week­end with the homie Mike. It got some­what windy that day up there, but not too bad. Any­ways, a must to do if you ever have the chance.

Custom Bicycles in NYC

I had this grow­ing inter­est lately of get­ting myself a bike. It’s been a minute since I’ve had one to be hon­est. I remem­ber hav­ing fun w/ my generic-BMX back in the P.I. with my bowl-cut. I remem­ber going through the streets with our generic-BMX crew and hop­ing over speed bumps; mak­ing ramps; and eat­ing it hard on the pave­ment filled with small rocks and peb­bles. We were for­tu­nate we didn’t crack our skulls as we got mad air most of the time, only to be brought back down to Earth by the Law of Physics.

Any­ways, check this video out by Rock­et­boom cor­re­spon­dent Ella Mor­ton when she inter­views Josh Hadar about his hand sculpted cus­tom bicycles.

PS. For own­ers who are bike offi­ciana­dos, road or moun­tain bike? In terms of rid­ing ver­sa­til­ity for street, hills, dirt, etc. (I’m guess­ing mountain?)
