itod recently went on a 9 day trip with the Props Mega Tour. It sounds like he had a shit ton of fun.

we started in Rochester and ended in New Haven Conn.

Jersey city had no weed.

new haven is rainy and country despite being 1.5 hrs from NYC.

we were almost robbed for our bikes by a band of thugs in the east village of NYC.

no good photos of the riding just stupid shit like the people on the trip and of the surroundings.

the video should be out in november sometime and the magazine article should hit stores around the same time. I have to write somestuff on the trip to go a long with the photos.

we saw vinnie chase from entourage while out riding. no photo.

I filmed half my clips in new haven drunk and high as a kite.

I was noticed and asked for an autograph by a kid in new haven..

I may have broke my wrist.

all but three clips involved a front brake.

we were chased out of the lower east by the cops for siphoning air from a 1-800-matress truck tire into on of my team members bike tire.

the gallon of milk in an hour challenge was failed by a team member.

riding through NYC traffic is the best feeling.

Times square is nuts even at 12:30 am.

the weed I got (from another rider) in NYC was the best I’ve had in years.

saw a light myself on fire show and it was fucking awesome.

New Jersey sucks cause you can’t turn left anywhere.

GPS sucks in NYC.

holland tunnel is 8 bucks to use.

you can only use the metro pass 4 times at a time. (we had 11 people to get on the train)

we lost a team member in NYC for 8 hrs he had no phone and it was his first time in NYC.

cigarettes in NYC are 10 dollars a pack. (american spirits are 11.50)

Obama and McCain were at ground zero when we were there (9/11)

we stayed in the area in Jersey where the sopranos was based.

yes there are still bangs in Jersey.

bars close at 6am for an hour then they’re open again… they lock you in for an hour…

I got lost and so turned around cause there is no reference once in the middle of the city.

you can buy anything you want in China town.

you can go to corner stores at anytime of the day or night and buy a beer.

some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had.

bums are funny… (they tell jokes for money)

noone cares what you do in the streets.

never got kicked out of any spot no matter what time of day it was.

Like many of my friends, I have a Flickr account. I use it mostly to post photos that I use in the photo tag games from the Minneapolis Bike Love and other sundry events from my life. This week, however, my flickr has offered me a glimpse at internet super-stardom.

It all started one frosty March morning when I was enjoying breakfast at A Bike House. After breakfast, I was invited by Karl to ride his Pugsley. While I rode it around, I gave Karl my camera to snap a few action shots, like these….
