nah we're not going to the budapset thing. although, we might got to the yearly new york races, i think in august? not sure yet. but i know i'll be racing in the timbuk2 races here on the 4th of july. we might pull out the good ol tandem for that. racing on a tandem is always fun. oh, but fuck! oh that sounded not right. but someone bought the bike before i did. shit. but i'd have to go with the phil wood hubs, they are guaranteed for life.

we watched the girlies go home and then the usual b.s. of driving around trying to think of spots ensued. we capped it off w/ some fresh pretzles and some insight on how gay men hook up. I'll tell you later...

I know nothing about bikes (beyond how to pedal from point A to point B) However, so many writers I know are into racing bikes that it has made me wonder if there is some correlation between graffiti and bicycles. In the 80s I would run into Dondi in Washington Square park all decked out in spandex cycling gear with his bike and I casually try to turn the conversation towards style (like a student of eastern philosophy trying to glean the secret of life from a guru at the top of some mountain) and invariably he would reply by going into a lecture on the merits of Campangolo components, or some such thing. I would listen intently, hoping that this was some type of metaphoric parable which, once deciphered, would hold the key to my becoming the next "style master". Looking back I realize that the dude was probably just sick and tired of talking about graffiti, and that if there WAS any hidden message he was trying to impart to me, it was only that I might want to investigate the rest of the world outside of my ink-stained existence occasionally.

He wasn't the only writer I met during that period who had gone into retirement from active bombing only to become obsessed with building the perfect bicycle. Stan 153, Zephyr, Ban2, and many others, are all heavy duty cyclists. In some cases this stems from having worked as a bike-messenger at one time or another, but for alot of these guys it's strictly for sport. I have never understood the appeal of wearing brightly-colored spandex and flipped up short-billed caps with alot of Italian logos on them, but maybe once I have finally mastered letter style and graffiti loses some of its magic for me, I too will be drawn in. Who knows? I would still rather watch my "Stations of the Elevated" tape than "Quicksilver" or "Breaking Away" though...

scotch i think alot of this comes down to the fact that a real writer is a passionate person, and once they get tightly involved in something they wrap themselves in it this could come from insecurity or whatever but there is something about a bike seat in your crotch all day... some writers are obsessed with cars, music, etc we have our outlets, bikes relate to graffiti especially the italians and handcrafted because they are perfection in form and function design in its element... what we strive for in our painted environments. i dont know that dondi story made me happy...

 

brand new old school bianchi hat.

 

hats are definately key ill pass on the spandex for every day rides but for longer ish and racing it doesnt bother me... especially the fasso jerseys hmm i want to ride for an italian team and not domo/farmfrites....

 

well lance is faring well in the tour of switz. i gotta check the updates on that... tour de france coming up go go go.
