Hi Everyone,

I am not super active on this forum, and not sure if this is the right sub forum for this, maybe the Norcal one is better...

But been trying to rally troops for a regular big bike street ride thing on more local forums like http://www.msdhw.com/forum and http://ridesfo.net/forums

We used to do this all the time in NYC and generally set it up thru http://brooklynbikeriders.com/forum

I've been scouting hits since I moved here 5 months ago and always looking to add to the mental list of secret stashes

Well, Jason V ( http://ihatebikes.net ) and I finally went out for a bit last night and we took some pics (we both live in the city)
http://picasaweb.google.com/gideonkaplan/SFStreet

We personally were riding hard tail 26" 'park' style bikes, but anyone/type of bike is welcomed as long as ur willing to send it.

If u live close to SF and you're interested, shout out and/or pm me and I'll help to try and coordinate everyones schedules (also have a short list of riders who are committed to it like myself)

I'm ususally available weeknights after 6 or so and have found riding at night, much less of a bust = more fun

Peace,

Gideon

PS: A few good pics from Brooklyn and Manhattan Street rides (if I spent time have a whole bunch)

I hate bikes has been going through a redesign. The plan is to upgrade the site to make it more along the lines of NSMB or Pinkbike, or RideMonkey, a full-blown webzine, but with a focus on Nor-Cal and the west coast scene..

Still looking for help with the development though. Need help tweaking some PHP files, if anyone is interested in helping.

[dan wask]

Ughhhhhh why couldn't this have been done during the summer...

I wanted desperately to ride embarcadero but I didn't know any rider folks in the area, and thusly, didn't bring my bike .

 

[Fool]

DO IT.

NYC night rides are always a blast. Brooklyn Banks to all the downtown spots and then someone claims to know about some spot somewhere in the 50s, 15-20 bikes hauling ass updown to get to some dinky drop to flat or something, the ensuing beatdown of rider who dragged everyone up there, the ride back downtown, crossing Brooklyn Bridge after midnight, getting up for work the next day sore as hell.

One of the best days was sessioning that ghetto wallride in Red Hook on like a 95 degree day with you and Rob and Jay... Jay, where the hell has that kid been? I'm going to see him at party this weekend and give him hell for dropping off the face of the Internet. And the Earth.

 

[Stoked]

gideon is the person to bring people together. riders would depend on him to motivate them to go ride. "1 rider at a time" is what he always said
