fire wood

2010-03-02T06:43:00.001-08:00

so after our common cycle meeting last night i decided to use my trailer first thing. we have been discussing transforming the trailer into a mobile repair area. no doubt with nick and evan and their carpentry skills, it'll turn out awesome. the idea is to turn it into a stake truck of sorts. making it possible to haul a stand and all tools needed. covering it in reflectors was another idea thrown out there, but i think that'll just make me more of a target. more so then a guy pulling around a mobile repair bike shop already would be. i told these guys to build it, i'm not concerned with how heavy it is, i'll pull it. they started talking about retractable awnings, steel reinforced sub structure etc. shoulda' kept my mouth shut, but, i think it's gonna' be awesome.

in the meantime, i was using it to haul firewood back home. i was suprised that i didn't see more people in the woods collecting firewood by bicycle this morning. i think if it evoked the same feelings in them as it does in me, everyone would be out there doing it. oh well, more for me.

sunny mini ramp session

2010-03-01T09:58:00.000-08:00

might just be another huge tease from our lovely state of michigan. but too hard to resist uncovering the ramp in this weather. skate or die! till it snows that is...

whitmore lake ride

2010-02-18T07:36:00.000-08:00

the close vicinity of the fire pit was not as much of an issue as the lack of the run out after the landing.

winter path maintenance

2010-02-11T18:04:00.000-08:00

so i was sick of trying to get up as much speed before hitting the path. and i knew the city wasn't going to do anything about it. and the more people that walk on the snow without clearing the harder it would become to ride. so... DIY snow removal for all my ann arbor commuterites. this is the pedestrian bridge that crosses 94 between platt and stone school. saves a lot of time but can be difficult with no snow removal. your welcome.

2010-01-12T03:39:00.000-08:00

looks like we might have to watch our backs in the thunderdome! seems there were several people detained while playing a pick up game in a parking structure. full story.

doctor sentenced to 5 years

2010-01-10T05:31:00.000-08:00

this happened a while back. full story here.

it was nice to see justice served. anyone who takes it upon themselves to "teach them a lesson" in a negative manner is a dangerous person and should be treated as such. while the doctors actions were aggresive and intentional, it seems like judges are at a loss on how to treat cases that are not. like the death of tim pincikowski on maple road last summer. nicholas wahl was recently sentenced on the fatal collision here in ann arbor.
full story

or, who can forget the firefighter who shot a man in the head? he shot the cyclist in front of his wife and three year old child to teach him a lesson. the firemen felt the cyclist was acting carelessly by riding in the road. so thinking safety first, shot 'em in the head. full story

just a stand up guy having a bad day the judge said. the firefighter got 120 days in jail.
so be careful out there. you never know when a distracted driver or homicidal maniac may be approaching. fucking ridiculous. all i know is that when the earth resembles cormac mccarthy's "the road" bikes win! i could totally begin going on a rant about how a man with a gun seems to stand a lot taller then when he is without. or how a weapon turns a pussy into a badass instantly. or how a vehicle is a weapon when used as such.
let's just ask ourselves,"what would patrick swayze do?" i think we all know the answer. one word...
...rumble!

so dennis and crew are returning to ann arbor for one night only. bringing with them their open sprints krietler hell yes roller racing. the weather has been so shitty lately that it only seems appropriate to do this now. anyone who hasn't come out really needs to see what this is all about. even as a spectator you're guaranteed to have a good time. this year is 18 and up which is cool as well. pretty cool to see how far along the open sprints set up has become. see you there.

don't know if you guys are hip to this event or not. saturday vets park is gonna' host the tailwind series cross races. but after! that' when the party starts. two wheel is hosting the nightmare before cxmas. this sounds like a good time and a really good way to get you moneys worth on your john wayne gacy killer clown costume.

all the money is going to local charities, so, it's for a good cause. at least you'll be able to get right with god for one day.

between this event and night of the living tread, a good time is sure to be had by all. double whammy!

so it's that time of year again. night of the living tread is upon us again. this years theme should provide plenty of entertainment for those at the checkpoints. anyone remember the 7/7/7 race? i really slacked off on getting sponsors this year so i ponied up and got some prizes on my own. there is an origin 8 frame set, track wheelset, origin 8 cranks, mks pedals. some random hats and t shirts as well. one fixed will be shipping some swag our way as well. thanks vic! the diag has proven to be such a good central meeting spot that we will be meeting there rather then wheeler park. as always, looking for volunteers to run checkpoints. gonna' be rad! see you there.

memorial ride pics

2009-08-19T03:53:00.000-07:00

so the ride last night was pretty intense. about 150-200 people showed up to memorialize tim pincikowski. we had a police escort from the parking lot of pioneer high school. as we left we "dominated the lane" as instructed by ann arbor police, and were then handed over to pittsfield police. as we rode the short ride to the sight of the accident, traffic stopped. i could only imagine what passing motorists thought. "honey, what's with all the bike riders?" which was exactly the point. it would be impossible to ignore us, therefore raising awareness for what happened to tim. the ride became rather real when we arrived at the accident site. as we approached, there was tim's family. wife, 4 year old daughter, brother, sister, mom, and a few others. they were all understandably emotional, which reminded us all why we came out. so, pray for tim's family through these difficult times, and be safe out there.
thanks for the pics andy.

poker run checkpoints

2009-07-31T20:20:00.000-07:00

northside presbyterian church- 1679 broadway st.

bandamer park dirt jumps- lake shore dr. off of main st.

caribou coffee- 1423 e stadium

burns park sledding hill- 1414 wells st. in park east of school

fletcher parking structure- thunderdome. lowest level of structure where polo is played in the winter months.

wurster park- madison to the north, davis to the south, 3rd to the east, and 5th to the west.

hidden commuter lot- washington to the north, liberty to the south, 3rd to the east, murray ave to the west.

finish at adams house 917 brown, near the stadium.

start at the diag. all checkpoints must be visited before a discard. once all checkpoints have been visited, go to the finish. if you chose to discard, you'll have to return to the corresponding checkpoint. discard as many times as you wish, as long as it's done within a 2 hour time limit. after that, checkpoints will not be manned. points awarded for best hand and time.

map

there is a long and short course option. long includes all seven checkpoints and the option to discard. short does not include bandamer dirt jumps or broadway hill. long course will receive points for hands and speed. a good hand is worth more then a fast time. short course riders simply draw a card at each checkpoint, best hand wins, no discard. meet in the diag at 8. see you there. feel free to print out your own map and checkpoint list. save a tree.

HELLS YA

2009-02-11T05:09:00.000-08:00

what a blast. dennis, carl, and erin came down from t.c. monday afternoon. i can't even begin to tell you how much these guys have put into making this happen. not only all the equipment. but, the van rental, gas, driving bak home the same night. shit! we didn't get done until close to two in the morning. just want to say thanks to them for everything they've done. while there is an entry fee ($5) donations are always accepted. these guys are losing money doing this. which just goes to show how much they love it. i'm sure every little bit they can scrape together would make a big difference.
so, i got to the blind pig at the 8pm load in time. dennis and crew were already there and getting ready to set up. everything went pretty smooth with the exception of a couple small glitches. once the doors opened people started lining up to register. now, what was great was that pretty much everyone who showed up was there to race. but as people got eliminated out of their heats, the crowd started to thin out. the crowd was awesome! high energy till the end. i think a common misconception when i started promoting this was you had to race to be a part of this. anyone was who was there will tell you, being a spectator was just as fun. i think it would be great to have more people cheering everyone on next time.

homeless dave was there reporting for the ann arbor chronicle and got some great pics.
annarborchronicle.com
so we'll be back at it on the 23rd. bring a friend, sister, brother, mother. the more the merrier. you do not have to race to have a good time at the hell yes sprints. dennis has the results posted on the hell yes blog. big matt 2nd place? hmmmmm...

Bicycle Polo Played Under Polar Conditions
Ionian team takes top honors in Michigan-wide tournament
BY DAVE ASKINSJANUARY 19, 2009

Bike, ball, and mallet.
On Sunday afternoon, eight 3-person teams from Traverse City, Ionia, East Lansing, and Ann Arbor descended on the “Thunderdome,” to compete for top honors in a double-elimination bicycle polo tournament. The Thunderdome is a parking structure near downtown Ann Arbor, which generally sits empty on Sundays. And on this last Sunday, it was empty and cold. The Chronicle could not disagree with the assessment of one polo player: “It’s like a meat locker in here!”

Adam Say, who works as a mechanic at Ann Arbor Cyclery on Packard Street, expressed some confidence before play started that his team would prevail – there was a spot on a shelf at the bike shop with a label on it to hold the trophy. But at the end of the day, the trophy - constructed from spoke protectors, wheel hubs, and a dog bowl – went back to Dan’s Bike Shop in Ionia, Michigan, with the team who finished the tournament undefeated: Seth Higbee, Gary Ferguson, and Tim Heyboer. full story

Big guys riding little kids' bikes is how BMX can be explained to people who do not have a clue what BMX riding is all about. That applies even more when big guys are riding bikes with 16 inch wheels. Stephen Nisbett of Double Dub Bike filmed and edited this video of Frank Kreyssig riding a Blend 16 at the local park. And yes, he is doing some gnarly tricks on that bike.

POLO TOURNEY 1/18/09

2008-12-10T05:11:00.000-08:00

january 18 we'll be hosting a michigan only polo tournament. all the information you need is included in the flyer below. matt will provide extra mallets for those without. but, don't you think it's about time you made your own? matt just ordered some nice ABS pipe which is perfect for mallet heads. i think he's charging $5 for a section. e mail him if you need more info.

if you haven't checked out polo, now's your chance. practice, and you might get a chance at winning this!

that there's the south east michigan polo cup. beauty. the winners get to hold onto the cup until the next tourney. made exclusively out of bike parts (with the exception of the dog bowl). drink beer out of it, eat chili out of it, it's yours to do whatever you want with. so, until january 18th the cup is being kept in a secure storage facility under 24/7 high security watch. who was up for such a task? big ass jones of course!

ohhh man. cranksgiving time again! this is by far one of my favorite races. not only is a blast to participate, it's for a good cause. so if you ever needed a good reason for jumping that light, on nov. 23 you'll have one. the look on peoples faces when a posse of helmet wearing cyclists enter a store is priceless. the biggest hold up is lines. but, if you tell people you're participating in an event to feed the needy, i bet they'll give you cuts. so looking forward to this, hope to see everyone there. thanks andy!

i saw this a while ago. it's not so much the crash that i enjoy. or the fact that he's screaming before, during, and after the crash. my favorite part is the filmers reaction.

THANK YOU

2008-11-01T05:46:00.000-07:00

thanks to all the sponsors and everyone who came out. we had 43 riders this year. the top of sunset was also brought back this year as a checkpoint. if you're not familiar with sunset, the fact that most people walked their bikes up should give you an idea of the grade. most riders headed there first. which meant a mass group of riders. pretty cool to see so many blinkys going through the intersection at once. apparently some motorists thought so as well. there was a two car accident just past the intersection. fortunately, no one was hurt. there was also a tangle up at one of the checkpoints between two riders rushing off to the next checkpoint. still, no injuries. the only injury happened right at the finish line. as we stood outside the eight ball waiting for riders to come in, we saw a group approaching. at the same time, a jogger was about to emerge from the corner of the building. as he came out one of the guys hit him. jogger fell back, and rider face planted. another guy riding behind crashed trying to avoid the accident. there was a short panic as we tried to make sure everyone was okay. mr. face plant(sorry don't know your name) took a second to get up. but once he did, it was apparent that no major injuries had been sustained. sore shoulder and bloody lip. all in all everything went really well. photos will be posted tonight. here's your top ten.

FINAL PLANNING STAGES

2008-10-27T07:44:00.000-07:00

so just like every other race i do, i'm waiting till the last minute to figure everything out. so far i have a start and a finish. good enough, right? this year should be pretty fun. the format is going to be different then previous years, so don't worry about having to change a flat in the dark with broken tire levers. this year will have more of a scavenger hunt feel. each checkpoint will represent a letter. once you've visited all the checkpoints, you'll have to unscramble the letters to find your finish line. the letters will be hidden at each checkpoint, that's where the scavenging aspect comes in. it will be up to each rider to find the letter at the designated checkpoints. everyone will have to visit all the checkpoints. so, even if you figure out the finish halfway through, you still have to visit all checkpoints. as always, this is all about having fun. we do have some pretty cool prizes from our sponsors, so top finishers will be rewarded. i'll also have some booby prizes for fun categories. like, first quitter, best costume, DFL, and so on. i'm looking forward to seeing everyone. if you RSVP, i'll give you a hint as to what the checkpoints will be. not exact locations, just a hint.
