I met Hiro the last time I was in SF (which was RideNStyle) and followed his work, mostly via his Tumblr‘s RSS. It wasn’t until Tracko posted about his Flickr that I was directed over there. It’s damn good. So check it out.
That’s a great photo of Marc holing his new LOW. Miss ya dude!
Tonight at the Rapha Cycle Club SF, Steven Nereo, aka the Single Ape is having an art opening and party. Don’t miss this show. There will be great artwork, great people and some great products for sale, including Paper Friends Purist bottles and Ramblin Rolls!
Paper Friends at the Rapha Cycle Club SF
Saturday February 16th, 7pm
2198 Filbert St
San Francisco,CA
Thanks for the heads up Tracko!
Mash just posted a great profile on one of their riders, Kyle Murphy. I was at the Mash Twin Peaks Time Trial and the 1 Year Anniversary Alleycat to witness Kyle in action.
Head over to Mash to check it out!
One of the reasons why I respect Mash is that they still work with local companies on great products. Take these hand painted Chuey cycling caps. Digging them for sure!

I can just hear Yim whispering “fixie” looking at this photo. Such a great shot, Dylan. Full Frame Collective‘s always got the goods!
SS?
I love receiving emails that start with “you should do a video like this”. A reader sent this video over and it makes me want another touring bike very badly. Bicycling camping outside of your city is one of the best ways to spend your weekend.
Black hoodies are a must, a staple if you will and hoodies from TCB Courier will surely sell out before you can email them with an order, so email them now!
The guys at Full Frame Collective interviewed Austin-local photographer and BMX’r Sandy Carson. I’ve long been a fan of his work and his current projects are very interesting. Check out what he’s got to say over at Full Frame Collective.

I’m sure, like most of you, I love seeing photos of Massan smashing on a track bike. Especially on that LOW.
It’s only by coincidence that this week’s Tuesday Teardown pick is also on Profound Lore. Hey, I’m a sucker for USBM and SF’s Bosse-de-Nage has been on my radar for the past year or so. While re-organizing some desktop material, I came up on their latest album that I never got around to listening to (cue my discussion on vinyl vs the digital junkspace that is MP3 music). Anyway, onto post-black metal, or as Bosse-de-Nage comes to call it, grey metal. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a suitable title for this band, as is post-hardcore and for that matter, I tend to think of USBM as a little ambiguous anyway.
Check out more Tuesday Teardown below!
… or maybe your weekend looked like this? Brad from SF shot this video of a weekend spent bicycle camping with an old 8mm camera. Check out photos here.
There are very few track bike riders with the bike control of Jason Clary and somehow that is still conveyed in an ordinary photo of him making a turn at night. The Macaframa guys just get it.

There are very few photographers who continue to shoot sports like BMX with a Hasselblad and the Full Frame Collective team is one of the best. Check out Cubby’s rail hop for example. Perfect timing! Check out more at Full Frame Collective.
Since I can’t make it out to every rad event that takes place in SF, It’s nice to have Mike Martin of Mash to offer up some choice photos from the The Bicycle Art & Design of Garrett Chow: All Chips on the Table gallery show and Cutty Cross race. This show looked amazing and these photos will serve the purpose of introducing you to Garrett’s work if you’re unfamiliar.
Also, don’t miss out on a few shots of Garrett’s Specialized Concept Venge road bike after the show photos.
I’m just as bad about buying coffee mugs as I am about buying water bottles and these new Mash Cutty Cross mugs ain’t making it any easier to resist the temptation. Pick one up here at Mash. Be sure to order the kit with the Bicycle Coffee!
Super chill vibes in the land of the endless summer. Check it out as Steadfast tours around SF with Matt from Wheel Talk.
ILE has been working hard on designing this new Transfer Bag, their race-day bag. It’s specially designed to take your kit, shoes, helmet and anything else you need for the track, cross or crit race. Get the scoop on one at MASH.
Next week, Mash and Rapha are throwing two events worth hitting up if you’re in SF. The first is the Cutty Cross Cat (flier below) and the second event is All Chips on the Table: The Bicycle Art & Design of Garrett Chow, which will be at the Rapha Cycle Club, post race. I wish I could be in attendance. This looks like a rad time.
See the Cutty Cross Cat flier below.
