TL&R was on the front page of Android Markertplace over Labor Day weekend. This is a great thing for us. We are reaching more and more people and it just goes to show how far we’ve come with technology. Just imagine this… you can literally watch To Live & Ride in LA while you’re riding in Bangkok, you can watch To Live & Ride in LA while your skidding down a hill in San Fransisco, you can watch To Live & Ride in LA while you’re skitching in Melbourne. All on your android phone. Now we do not condone that behavior. But it is possible. *please do not attempt*

Our main Guy Ace. If you have the pleasure of knowing Ace or riding with him, then you have meet one the best guys in Los Angeles on a bike.
If you haven’t then come get to know him at the DVD release party this Saturday. Be sure to cop your copy of the DVD tonight at 12am!!!

The Boogie Monster speaks:

“Riding in Los Angeles is a little intimidating to some. I feel this is the main reason people refrain from using a bike to commute. I remember riding a few years back and only seeing one cyclist on major streets. Now you can see them everywhere.

Griffith Park is my favorite place to ride in Los Angeles. This place has everything, whether it be rolling hills, long straightaways, or some dirt..it’s there. Just like Griffith, Los Angeles as a city has varying terrain. There are all sorts of nooks and crannies to explore. It’s never ending.”

EIGHT MORE DAYS!!! 6/21/11!!!

This past Sunday was the third installment of the Lord of Griffith. At the afterparty, we screened this short film we made from the very first LOG. We were there way back when, filming the first one and sponsoring it as well as the next two installments and beyond. Look how easy the racers had it for the first race! The last two years were so much more harder. Sean is a Sadist, in a good way. The brainchild of our rider Sean from TOLA!, the LOG course takes racers through the largest metropolitan park in the USA. Smack in the middle of Los Angeles, Griffith Park provides grueling climbs, technical downhills and a little traffic fighting on surrounding streets. Year after year this race keeps getting bigger and better. We hope to see ya’ll out there next year, we hope to have more out of towners, too! This is another DVD extra feature only available on the DVD. Get hype, it is dropping on 6/21/11!!!

Yesterday was a smash success. Another Race brought to by our friends at TOLA! Sean has really made this into the race of the year, year after year. Epic and fun, with everyone walking away with product and smiles. We very happy to be apart of it and sponsor this race, year after year. To the results and what went down!

You know you have finally entered the world of real riding when you get the matching combo of a Thomson stem and seatpost. It took me a minute to achieve this but now every bike I own has this setup and they will always have this setup. You ride with the best. They look amazing, are very well made components right here in the USA, and function exactly has you need them too. We are very proud to have Thomson as a sponsor of TL&R. We wouldn’t our riders riding on anything less then the best. Thank you Thomson for your continued support.

Small Black. Music to ride by. Small Black is for those moments when you’re all alone of road, and don’t have to worry in your head. All you have to do is pedal, and Listen. Let the bike and the music you take away. We are very proud to have Small Black on the Soundtrack to TL&R. Take a listen after the jump, and don’t forget 6/21/11!!!

Everybody who rides a fixed gear at one point, either had, wanted or still has an Aerospoke. One of the most sought after wheels in our world, and we have them has our proud sponsors of TL&R. Just about every fixed rider in LA that we know as rocked one in their riding career.
That iconic image of a track bike doing a wheelie with an Aerospoke spinning in the front or holding down the rear, is one of my favorite images ever. We feel really blessed to have such an legendary wheel, rolling our riders around town. You’ll be able to them in action on 6/21/11, when the TL&R drops on itunes, netfilx and DVD (the only place to see the 40 mins of extra features)!
