Dirtsurfer Inline Boarding

BLACK FOREST, GERMANY - Okay, it doesn't have a chain, but it does have two wheels and looks like fun. I hear it's on the top of all the zoobombers list to Santa this year. Good thing the elves have welders and scrap bikes to work with.

The great soundtrack is "Gasoline" by Crekko.

PORTLAND, OR - In case you were doing better things then looking at your computer, this Saturday, like parading around Tour De Fat then you missed my live webcast and the debut of the "Disco Trike". It was quite an adventure. It was truly pushing the envelope, the bleeding edge, if you will of live webcasting disco trikes.

Enjoy the sample video from the feed of March Fourth Marching Band.

Please forgive the Audio cutouts. Our crack team of engineers at CrankMyChain.com busy are working on it. Just watch Tomorrow and see.

Below we have a video (pulled from the stream) of one of the fabulous Acrobats from Seattle's Circus Contraption.



Oh, the Sprockettes really kicked ass, too. I just didn't have a good shot :(

If you'd like to find out more about the live webcasting Disco Trike shoot an email to dan (at) pdxk dot com

"On Time" Preview

Watch Video & Read Story

Through the streets and boroughs of New York, Jimmy, a bicycle messenger from the Albatross Courier Company is out to deliver a package "on time". Braving the perilous city streets there's nothing Jimmy can't handle...or is there? This 1987 comedy classic short shown worldwide marked the debut of Director/Screenwriter Ari Taub and captured the spirit of low-budget filmmaking in New York City.

By the way, that's not Rev Phil playing the messenger role. It's just supposed to look like him.

BERWYN, IL - I just love the this image and so do Chicago critical mass riders. They rode July's mass from from Daley Plaza to the car Spindle made famous in Wayne's World.

The sculpture is slated to be torn down to make room for a drug store. I reckon it's just another example of art being destroyed by drugs.

Rep. McHenry Blasts Bicycles

Watch Video & Read Story

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Patrick McHenry argues that promoting bicycles to help solve our energy crisis is naive and ridiculous. To me, he ends up coming across as a foolish tool.

Thanks to Jonathan Maus of BikePortland.org for catching this story. Read more about it and a lively discussion at his blog.

Let your congressperson know how you feel about bicycles as part of our nation's energy plan.

Patrick McHenry is a Republican who serves the 10th district or North Carolina in the United States Congress.
