ONE YEAR AGO, TODAY: DREAM PISTA
Time flies. I can’t believe I’ve had this sucker for a year already. See the original post with more photos here.

SPOTLIGHT: ENDO CUSTOMS
Check out the video above highlighting Endo Customs, a small custom kit factory from Los Angeles. I love the company’s recognition of a “lack of” in the majority of road cycling brands and the options they provide, and the focus on bringing a different and alternative style for customers.

VIDEO FLASHBACK: SKIDFACE
Crazy how this was happening in NYC only 4+ years ago. Seems like so long ago. Elephant trunk skids and wheelies on track bikes ftw. #STTB

NEW BIKE DAY: PINARELLO 1984 TREVISO
Really amped on my new daily/commuter. I’ve been wanting to build a vintage steel bike for a comfortable commuter, and couldn’t pass up the chance when I saw this Treviso. Check out my Pedal Room page for more info!

TUESDAY RIDE: RISE AND SHINE

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:42:59 -0500

Took the day off to try and catch a very important package from FedEx today. I woke up around 6 AM and decided to attempt to go on a solo mission to River Road and make it back before 10 AM in case FedEx decided to show up early. This morning, I saw the sun rising from Central and Morningside Parks. It was freaking unreal. I’m beginning to enjoy the benefits of waking up dumb early to hop on the bike. If you haven’t yet, I recommend it. You won’t regret it.

DRIVESIDE: JOHNNY’S IF SSCX
Took this driveshot shot of Johnny’s Indy Fab with the iPhone post-brunch this past weekend. Might need to revisit this bike again in the near future with the camera-camera.

ONE YEAR AGO, TODAY: SIX MORE WEEKS
Out of my 20 years of East Coast winters, I have never experienced one so warm and sunny as this one. Hell, it’s supposed to be in the 40s and 50s this week. Un-freaking-real. Peep below for last year’s garbage weather .. one year ago, today.

cycleangelo:

Six weeks until spring. Six weeks until we no longer have to clean our bikes every other day. Six weeks until we no longer have to avoid enormous puddles on every corner of every street and avenue. Six weeks until the slush, snow, and salt disappear. Hang in there New York … six weeks.

Nice to look at, but not fun to walk through.

Snow boots - $35. Outlier Climber pants - $180. Waterproof from head to toe - priceless.

01-28-12: RIVER ROAD, EARLY SATURDAY MORNING
As I headed home last night around 3 AM, filled with whiskey, beer, and doubt - I told Don that I would go on a ride if I magically woke up by 7 AM, as he was meeting up others by 8AM. Well .. I magically woke up.

As terrible as the waking up portion of the ride went, it was great to be able to make it back to Brooklyn by lunch time. I can’t say I felt great riding that early in the morning, especially with lack of rest, but it did feel good to be riding this morning. Here’s to the base miles ya’ll …

WINTER DREAM PISTA
We knew it was too good to be true, and eventually snow was bound to fall here in New York City. I was beginning to get cabin fever after spending 72 hours indoors at home, so I decided to get the track bike as snow ready as I could and go for a quick (and by quick, I mean slow as hell) spin around the neighborhood. Check out more randoms from the day on my Instagram.
