Our friends at Urban Velo just released a new issue featuring a run-down on the races that happened during Interbike. A well-written article by Davey Davis, it’s a must-read for anyone looking to attend next year and take part in some of the “Urban” events that happen after the convention closes for the night. The two big races this year were the MASH race and the KING of VEGAS race hosted by local-hero HERN and sponsored by TRAFIK among others.

“Brad Adams, of Road Runner Bags took second in both races and credits the city’s insane urban emphasis on cars in creating a dicer race. “Vegas intersections are meant to hold a mass number cars and trying to break through that when there is bumper to bumper flow was unbelievable. I honestly could not tell you how I did it. It still boggles my mind.” In the end LA took the podium for men, with Edgar winning the race. There was much singing, dancing, dogtags, and In-N-Out burgers to be had.”

Trafik would like to thank all of you that made InterBike 2011 one for the books. This year, we were able to meet with a lot of the initial supporters of this project and we were able to show them our accolades and accomplishments, all thanks to our wonderful sponsors. We were able to tell them that our flick was the number one sports documentary on Itunes, (second documentary to Justin Beiber), the numerous premiers through out the globe and all the outstanding reviews that we’ve gotten on IMDB, Netflix and, Itunes. This year we were able to say a personal thank you to all the people that have supported us from the beginning. This post is for you guys!

Thomson, enough said. Thank you for all the support guys!

Knog keeps cyclist safe and reminds us to keep a smile on the face as well, by any means necessary.

Steve at the Chrome booth made us feel right at home.

Sock Guy reminding us that InterBike is not always about free stuff. Don’t be a shwag whore. Thanks for the pink armwarmers, west hollywood gets awfully cold this time of year. these purple and lavender arm warmes are the best!

What’s up world! Interbike is in full swing. This convention is where companies display their products and innovations and shop owners and distributors get to put a face to a name. That’s one of my favorite parts. So here for our first installment at Interbike 2011, we have the faces. Maybe you’ll recognize a couple. Enjoy!

Amongst all the carbon fiber there was showcased at interbike,
this Globe Roll utilizing Reynolds 7 series was my favorite by far.
It brings me back to when i first fell in love with the track bike
few years back. It has all the characteristics that I used to drool
over; for instance, the mix of classic styling with the quill stem
but contrasting it with a modern wheelset super deep and attention
getting. The paint job is subtle and elegant and complements all
components. But all those characteristics are not what impressed
me the most.
