It's A Wrap

Final blast from SXSW. The Sadies got up on stage with Dre at The Continental for what was probably one set too many. Yes of course it rocked. After a late night in the Enchanted Forest, we flew home and had a long debate about Campy vs. Shimano with our randomly selected Southwest Airlines seatmate. Meanwhile, in the land of cyclobabble… Chicago ratchets up the rules for cars and bikes after the alleycat tragedy. BKW interviews BSNYC. SI reveals doping reality check. It must be spring, ‘cause there’s a bikerack contest and a hipster guide to cool helmets right here. Funny how the coolkids tend to think most bike lids look like ‘the nose of a fighter jet’ so they gravitate towards hardhats that to us look like shortbus fashion, but what do we know. We know one thing thats cool about helmets; not having a head injury. Unfortunately helmets and Mayor Daley’s new rules didn’t help keep the list of the dead from growing exponentially this month. Be careful out there folks. In Phoenix, they're trying out sanctioned alleycats. On a lighter note; you can’t say that, snot rocket writing, anonymous fans and bad ass Italian fix-gears. If that’s not enough to make you smile, turn yourself into a Simpson’s character. Or just be glad you’re not these folks...

Inshalah.
