Some old news round-up.

So just to be thorough, here are some things I missed that went on in late March and April:

1) Our own Kevin "Squid" Bolger, organizer of the Velocity Tour and co-owner of Cyclehawk messengers, got into the NY Post, about his dedication to being a bicycle courier. Congratulations Kevin.


2) The Cutthroats mutant bicycle club from Richmond Virgina held their annual Slaughtertrama 5.


Tallbike Jousting, Beer guzzling...good times!

Here are some great photos from Kevin Dillard of Demoncats

3) 9th annual April Fool's Race here in NYC, hosted by Steve Klein, happened on Tuesday...April 1st. Steve always finds a way to pickout weird and obscure streets that really test a persons knowledge of the city.

Why is the bicycle culture so often associated with beer drinking and pot smoking? It's a bit old by now.
