Firstly Track or Treat II. If you need some more information on what this is and what it entails check out the forum discussion. This poster was done by Verb and it rules.
Check out this video over at Hard Court Bike Polo of some kids in Milan playing bike polo.

Little did you know there is a mountain in Minneapolis. It is called Mt. Fuckstoked.
See you at the afterparty for Babes in Bikeland.
Preregistration for the fucking world’s largest by ladies for ladies alleycat is open! Head on over to the myspace and get your t-shirt size lined up. Its $5 to race and $3 for a shirt if you preregister.
Let me break that down for you. Its only $5 to get yourself eligible for a mountain of prizes and only $3 to get the exact size of t-shirt you want. The shirts are American Apparel and will be printed by MPLS’ own Burlesque Designs. Thats right, a hand silk screened AA shirt for $3. That is the fucking jam.
As if that wasn’t enough, Kayla and Chelsea just announced how some of the grand prizes for Babes in BIkeland II would be given away. First place overall gets a custom Seagull Bag. First place out of town gets a custom bag from girl.bike.dog.
The ultra super kick ass grand prize is a custom steel bike from local frame builder Peacock Groove. This prize will be raffled off to the top 8. Top 5 overall and the top 3 out of town.
If you are on the fence about coming to Minneapolis, consider the chance of winning your own custom made bicycle as incentive. If you need a place to stay or more info, keep tuned to the Mpls Bike Love forum discussion.
