Fort Greene to Hoboken Bike Ride - 2005
This was a pretty epic ride. Not necessarily because it was 27 miles there, and 12 back but because it was done on a 30:13 geared Evil DOC. That's pretty spinny for those who don't know. While riding along the West Side Highway we came across a curious looking plant, right there in the open. Everyone insisted it was spinach and/or carrots, but I'm pretty sure its cilantro.
There it is again, growing in the open. Definitely not carrots.
This overpass bridge is beautiful. I always love riding under it.
Don't try this at home folks. 9' drop to flat.
On the GWB. One of the best places in New York to appreciate the massive sprawl that is NYC.
Evil DOC. Awesome bicycle. Note the Odyssey Compact sprocket. A certain C2D intern is still rocking that thing. Boom.
From the slums of Jersey, Midtown Manhattan looks like the promised land.
Ahm, excuse me ducks. Trying to ride here.
How about this. All the way to Jersey, Path train back to Manhattan. Quick stop at the banks for a sesh. Youth...

Be The First On Your Block With Rod Brakes
Feisty upcomers Empire Bicycles, are bringing that retro heat with some old fashioned English Roadsters. Now you might think these were found in a giant warehouse hidden all these years behind the arc of the covenant, but you'd be wrong as these are brand new. If you head over here you will see all sorts of pics of their mens and womens models. Lots of detailed shots, including the rod brakes!!"They are modeled after the Raleigh Deluxe Model One (or "DL-1") -- which incorporated the latest technology of the post-Victorian era (circa 1913)"
Bottom line, it's a nice functional bike for commuting, cruising, looking good in your post-Victorian denim, etc.. and it's unique style will have everyone guessing you rode off from a Masterpiece Theater set.
FYI, if you want to check em out in person, or buy one, head to the Fort Greene Flea Market this Saturday (176 Lafayette Avenue) from 10am-6pm.
Get em while they are hot, these are a limited run.
Not in Brooklyn this weekend, jeez, don't worry, there is always ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/
