riding brakeless tips

1. Keep your head/chin up and looking down the road even when you get tired. Fucked up shit can and will happen.
2. Watch drivers from the opposite direction making left turns in front of your azz. Even if they see you they’ll try to squeeze.
3. Learn how to skip, skid and make sudden stops..I’m all for picking lines and not stopping and shit but learn how to control your speed man.
4. Act like the bad ass you know you are. I mean come on your riding a bike in the city that doesn’t have gears, can’t coast or have brakes for crissakes. Its dangerous and thats why its so much fucking fun! If you want a safe activity go do yoga or knit a hat or some shit.
5. See rule #1

Chari & Co – NYC


Was on the east coast for the Holidaze and found this little track/fixed boutique on the LES (lower east side). If you are in the big apple you GOTTA roll by this store! Such a dee ooh pee eeeee little store that coulda fucking killed my Visa card quickly! Frames, parts, wheels, accessories the whole 9! They were even closed when me and my lover rolled in (hey, the door was open) but the heads were so cool that they let us browse for a bit and then roll out with a coupla items. Sometimes i wish i lived in the NYC…
