With a short break in the rain, Slam Dunk Ernie and I met up with the boys (Andy Sparks & David Todd) in downtown San Francisco to ride, explore, and shoot this day video. The city always looks its best on a gloomy day and we decided to take full advantage of that. These sessions are always better when Ernie tags along. He’s the real MVP.

PKT or better known as “Thursday Night Rides” pop off every week during the summer here in San Francisco. Everyone links up at Bike Kitchen in the Mission and embarks on a different city loop every week. I caught one of them and brought my camera along for the ride. It was nice to only have to carry a single camera for a change. Usually I’m geared up with the full kit, but for this I decided to drop everything off at home and keep it light. Shout out to Patrick Fixie King & Phixed Bikes for organizing so many meetups in the Bay Area. Y’all are really doing great working bringing the community together.

I love making videos with Mike Schmitt. He always pushes me to ride harder and has that 20/20 vision behind a camera. We met up in San Francisco and filmed this one day edit on our MASH Steel Frame builds. Shout out to MASH SF for making these bikes as solid as cement.
Keep that wheel up! BLOC BOI FAME always brings the heat when it comes to these monthly ride outs, but this one was above and beyond. Riders from all over California met up for this get together in Los Angeles. Bloc threw an alley cat, a trick comp and served up food for everyone in attendance. It’s really great seeing the community come together like this. Check out more photos below.
Alright, this is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. WHEEL TALK DECALS are officially available to the public. We’re mailing these things world wide. Shipping is free and we’re packing the envelope full with any extra fixie stickers we have on deck. Head over to our WEBSTORE to see more, and pick some up for yourself.

FIXIE GOONS Ride Outs are always a good time. If you’ve never been to one, I suggest you mark your calendar and come out. They happen at the end of every month here in Los Angeles. Bloc Boi Fame leads the pack and wrangles together the crew. Which usually turns out to be a couple hundred people. All of which are more than decent at keeping that front wheel up.
Terms like “Don’t panic” & “Keep that wheel up” are often hollered throughout the pack.
Follow @BLOCBOIFAME for more info on the next get together.

Who else remembers or even better, owned a TRK at some point? I remember when Leader Bikes first came out with this frame. It was everybody’s dream bike that year, and the paint job on this one truly makes it one of a kind. I like the big LA cutout on the head tube.
At the end of a long day, there’s nothing better than finding a good old parking garage with roof access. We linked up with a few friends in DTLA and did exactly that. Willy showed up with this KONA he just started riding. He’s already standing on the saddle, kicking legs, riding manuals on the chain stays. The kid’s wild.

All’s well that ends well. Sam Allgood the “@FIXEDGEARGOD” came to Los Angeles the day before I left for Germany. I was hoping to have more time to hang out and ride with the man, but had to settle with a single afternoon of fun in DTLA. The shirtless photos of Sam were taken the day before he got the word FIXIE blasted across his chest. Click here to see what I’m talking about if you haven’t already seen it for yourself. Now that’s what I call dedication.
Sam has been in the Fixie game for as long as I’ve known about it. Even going as far as to film some of the riders I grew up watching. He always keeps a camera on him and his YOUTUBE CHANNEL makes it feel like you’re hanging out with the man. Check it out when you get a chance and until then there are more photos below.
