boys, fan foto, la blogesphere, qué cute, the states, with love from

With love from: Illinois

I received this super nice photo and story from Illinois by Tim B:

Dad and his new Schwinn Varsity, May 1973

Dad and his new Schwinn Varsity, May 1973

Pictured: My dad’s 197X (1974?) Schwinn Varsity.  Put some air in the tires, gave it a test run, and took it out for a GREAT ride  this morning. It needs to be greased, tuned, de-gunkified, and have all the other things done to it that have not been done in 20+ years.  But for now… Perfect. Solid. LOVE that bike. I’ve been window-shopping for road bikes for years, but I think my resources will be better spent “tuning up” this one. Love it.  If it ain’t broke…

from Tim’s blog: life at 1901

Pinko for all the pinko kooks.

December 14, 2010 No Comments

Are you wearing pink today? Found out via the interwebs that Tuesday Dec. 14th is pinko day:

Found via momentum.com [link]
Now you too can be like Don Cherry and wear “pinko for all the pinkos out there that ride bicycles and everything.”
A day to stand up and say ” What ? Did I actually hear that right?” A day to say it should be okay to ride a bicycle in the city of Toronto without being inarticulately refered to by some outdated insult. A day to celebrate the seperation of politics and cheap showmanship.
Everyone wear pink on Tuesday December 14, a day picked at random for no particular reason, to say Hey,” Left wing pinko kooks who ride bicycles and everything” doesn’t even make sense and isn’t even ” a thing.”
You don’t have to actually attend this event or even be in Toronto, just wear something pink on the day.

I could wear some pick socks. Or my fuschia pink curdoroy jacket, pictured here by j-walking with Duby on Haight street. We’ll see.

Pacha massive night

December 14, 2010 1 Comment

With heat wave full on, we headed to the Elbo room to check out the Newyorquinos, Pacha Massive. This show was a few weeks ago, back in November.

We had fun, it was an early concert (around 6PM-8ish) but very mellow cool.
This foto was taken by our SMFF amigo Rio, which I borrowed from his post (but of course with his signature animated GIFs) here:

La calitexican had to flea the scene early, but that’s OK because she was a SF film festival bike parking rockstar. Word.
