Honestly, if you saw this happening to your bike would you be pissed or impressed? Anyway, point is, don’t just lock the front wheel!

Your bike is your ride, your gym, your style. Your bike is you. So lock it up the right way. Or better yet, don’t let it out of your sight. But whatever you do, DO NOT LOCK IT UP LIKE IN THE PICTURES BELOW! (oh, and make sure it’s Fixed!)

All the rage during the winter months has been about cyclocross, but there is one angry deer who doesn’t take kindly to off-road races thru his hood. Bam! Ride on this side of the forest and you get fucked with.

The rider, Jeff Plassman, didn’t know what hit him…”I figure that deer was doing a good 30 mph. I didn’t even have time to react. All I saw was fur, sky, ground. You can’t make this stuff up!” No Jeff, you can’t, thanks to GoPro.

TRAFIK Rider Jesus Lizama(@jebuslizama) also rides the Kagero for Leader Bike. On his free-time he likes to dabble in design… recently he created the “KAGERO” graffiti piece.

All done in Photoshop and Illustrator, so no laws were broken.

Local bike-community advocate and our friend ROADBLOCK, recently told his harrowing story of hit & run to the local press. It’s both sad and uplifting. Sad that the police and the driver were both callous and uncaring about what was a life-threatening incident; uplifting that Roadblock was able to track down and catch the criminal, Glenn Gritzner, on his own. Was justice served? Glad you are OK Roadblock. Full article below…
