Sick 360 Dude!
So if you thought Google Maps Street View was pretty cool, take a look at what Sony Ericsson’s Xperia did. Purely genius, it puts a new spin on panoramas and how we could possibly capture a lot of cool cycling shit.Seriously. 360 panoramic video capture. Now there’s an idea.

Loving..
Nothing beats climbing hills, and best hill that’s close to me is none other than the hill on Loving Ave. At any given time, if you ride by this street you will see at least one masochistic cyclist grinding their teeth up this hill. It’s deceiving, too, because when you are on top of the hill you immediately hit a second, baby hill at Gaston Parkway and the party continues.
Southern Hospitality
I am in Houston for the weekend, so I was able to attend Houston’s Critical Mass ride yesterday. I talked to the shop guy and girl at Houston Fixed Gear about the ride and they were really friendly and told me to expect a crowd of around 400. All varieties of cyclists turned out for this ride. The ride was massive, the route was interesting, and the cyclist-motorist interactions were sometimes chaotic. Someone was arrested, another got three tickets, one person was hit by a car, and some angry drivers let the riders corking the roads know how they felt about the traffic delays.
This ride was a great way to see various neighborhoods in Houston and to share a common interest in cycling with so may different types of people.
The Wonders of Goodwill
While I was looking for some shorts for summer riding at Goodwill, I couldn’t help but notice all things bicycle related in the store. So I had to pull out the camera and document. .. and no I did not get the leather shorts in the photo below.. they were to large … : (
Brew Riot
I met up at the Lilly Pad at Main Street Garden Park to ride down to the Brew Riot with Cycle Celebration yesterday. It was a bit humid and hot, but the head winds kept us cool. When we arrived to the Brew Riot I did not expect so many people to be out there. The line to get a wristband was intimidating but it moved fast. We all drank good beer, ate tasty burgers, and hung out with great buds.
