I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS GUYS PROBLEM WAS... THIS SINKS MY HEART TO SEE CRAP LIKE THIS. I'VE BEEN HIT BY CARS BEFORE AND THERE IS NOTHING FUN ABOUT IT. DRIVERS HAVE NO IDEA HOW DANGEROUS THEY CAN BE TO THOSE OF US ON BIKES.
THIS WAS A CRITICAL MASS RIDE IN BRAZIL... THEY DO HAVE GATED MALLS GUARDED WITH MACHINE GUN WIELDING NUTS, SO MAYBE THIS ISN'T AS SHOCKING AS IT COULD BE... NO, SCRATCH THAT. IT IS TOTALLY SHOCKING.

Papergirl #5 - The art of giving from CUTZ. on Vimeo.

Paper Girl is a show, an urban action (the distribution of the roles of art), a bicycle workshop and a party.
If one had to characterize Paper Girl in a nutshell, it would be: participatory, analog, non-commercial and impulsive. That is:

Everyone wants to can participate, as he / she submits work and / or helping to distribute.
Paper Girl is distributed as a newspaper, but not edited or printed, but consists of artistic originals, which are rolled.Contributions will be submitted by mail or in person. HOW TO originals, prints, photographs, copies, etc. together and each role is unique.
You can not roll the art for sale, and they are not distributed to subscribers.
When distributing react on the bike must be faster than you think. This effectively puts the chance a major role. There is no time for stereotyped thinking in selecting the recipient.

The basic idea is art in a different way than usual to bring to the public, to surprise people and bring in their daily contact with art.

The great Sandy Jones and myself (Wes Pelto) have been laying a little low in the blogosphere lately to work on some projects. We've been filming, painting and planning out what's next for VELOSHIP and what direction that we're going to take this whole thing. I've also been working on getting my tattoo license here in Portland because unfortunately, riding bikes doesn't pay the bills. Most pressing matter, If you live in Portland, head to Virtue Tattoo at 3018 E Burnside and check out a bike art show that wouldn't have been possible without our friends at Velocity. We will have pictures and videos from the show up very soon. Next up, be prepared for some great edits and possibly a film. We're getting ready to film across the country and a little abroad. That should start late this winter and continue throughout the next year. We've got some swag in the works and are working on partnering up with some great companies to do some collab work. Also we have product reviews and interviews coming up soon from some of the great companies and people that we have the pleasure working with.

Thanks for your patience while we were on hiatus and keep your eyes peeled for the new and exciting things that are going to be coming out of VELOSHIP

(SNEAK PEEK PROMO SOON... VELOSHIP FOR VELOCITY 2011)

=BIKE FILM FEST 2010=

2010-05-19T11:18:00.000-07:00

A MONTH OR SO BACK I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE BICYCLE FILM FEST, HELD IN PORTLAND. HAVING WANTED TO GO FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AND NOT MAKING IT... THIS YEAR I WAS EXCITED TO MAKE A POINT AND SCHEDULE IT IN!

ONCE WE ARRIVED AT THE EVENT, I WAS STOKED TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE OUT TO SUPPORT THE FILM AND BIKE CULTURE. AN ENTIRE TWO BLOCKS WERE CLOSED OFF TO ACCOMODATE THE INFLUX OF CYCLING MOVIE-GOERS... AND IT WAS PACKED!

OUR POSSE DECIDED TO ROLL INTO DOTS AND EAT WHILE WE TOOK IT ALL IN... OF THE TWO SCREENINGS SHOWN THAT NIGHT, WE DECIDED TO ATTEND NEITHER. SKIPPING THE $10 COVER, WE MASHED ON FRENCH FRIES AND COFFEE... DID SOME PEOPLE WATCHING (THERE WAS A FULL ON RAVE HAPPENING IN THE STREET, COMPLETE WITH DUDES IN UNDERWEAR AND GOLD BODY-SUITS, GLOWSTICKS AND ALL!), WE OPTED TO PEDAL OUT AND TOOK A NIGHT-RIDE AROUND THE WATERFRONT AND DOWNTOWN AREA.

THERE WAS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF BIKES OUT... MORE THAN WE SAW AT THE CONVENTION CENTER'S RECENT INDUSTRY BIKE SHOW. PDX DEFINITELY ROLLS DEEP... ALL IN ALL, I'M SURE IT WAS A COOL SET OF BIKE-RELATED FILMS, BET YOU I CAN SEE THEM ALL ONLINE BY NOW... HAHA, MAYBE I'LL ACTUALLY MAKE IT IN THE THEATER DOOR NEXT YEAR!!!

DIG THE VELOSHIP V'S IN THE ABOVE PIC... YEAH, ART NERD.

NOW IN PRODUCTION FROM JAPAN'S TEMPRA, THIS HEART-COG IS JUST WHAT PORTLAND ORDERED! THE CHROME-PLATED STEEL COG IS AVAILABLE IN 17T AND 19T SIZES AND THEY ARE IN THE WORKS TO PRODUCE MORE OF A RANGE SOON.

I COULD ONLY FIND THEM AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM TEMPRA'S WEBSITE VIA EMAIL REQUEST... BUT AM HOPING TO PLACE A BULK ORDER AND MAKE A SMALL BATCH AVAILABLE TO US HERE IN THE NORTHWEST.

THEY HAVE A BLOG WITH A LITTLE MORE INFO ON THE HISTORY OF THIS COMPANY... IT IS IN JAPANESE AND MIGHT NEED TRANSLATION... I WAS HYPED TO SEE THAT THERE IS A CRANKSET TO MATCH THE COG... SICK!

GOOD EYE PATRICK ON ALWAYS SPOTTING THE ILL SHIT, AND GOOD JOB TEMPRA ON PROMOTING MORE LOVE IN BIKING.

2010-02-24T22:36:00.000-08:00

Here's a peek at All City's newest addition to their product line. The Nature Boy, a single speed cross bike. I love watching cross and maybe I'll race next season... But either way, this thing is sick! I want one... It's definitely on the short list of things to buy.

MATT FINKLE AND BRITTAIN SULLIVAN HAVE A PROJECT IN THE WORKS... A BIKE CENTERED PHOTO BOOK ENTITLED 'I LOVE MY BIKE'. RECENTLY I RODE WITH A DOZEN OF THE PORTLAND KIDS I KNOW AND MATT FROM THE PROJECT ITSELF, AROUND DOWNTOWN PDX SHOOTING PHOTOS IN SOME OF PORTLANDS PICTURESQUE POCKETS.

2010-01-24T03:24:00.000-08:00

SOME OF YOU KNOW I HAVE A TATTOO SHOP CALLED VIRTUE (3018 E. BURNSIDE)... BUT JUST BECAUSE IT'S A TATTOO SHOP, SHARING SPACE WITH A HAIR SALON CALLED ROCK-A-BETTIES CHOP SHOP, DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T BIKE-INFESTED.

BELOW ARE SOME SHOTS OF SOME SHENANIGANS.

ABOVE IS OMAR. HE'S OUR FRIEND. HE LOOKS GOOD ON A BIKE AND CAN EVEN RIDE IT TOO! THE SHOP IS PERFECT FOR PRACTICING TRACK-STAND TRICKS AND BURNING IT UP IN THE IMAGINARY MINI-VELODROME.

BELOW IS THE AMAZING HOOK THAT I ADDED IN THE TATTOO STUDIO TO HANG MY LOVER. I GOTTA SEE THE BIKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SO THIS WORKS OUT GREAT. WE'RE WORKING ON THE CITY TO INSTALL BIKE RACKS OUT IN FRONT OF THE SHOP, BUT I'M SURE MINE WILL STAY PUT, RIGHT WHERE IT IS. WORD UP.

RIDE BY SOME TIME AND CHECK US OUT, OR GET A FRESH BIKE TATTOO WHY DON'T YA.

FORTUNATELY OMAR IS OKAY, JUST SOME STITCHES AND 1/2 AN EYEBROW MISSING. HIS FUJI TRACK NEEDS SOME TLC THO... WE THREW DOWN SOME BIG BUCK SAFARI HUNTIN' AND PRACTICED OUR 'COOL-GUY' WAS TO HOLD A PLASTIC SHOTGUN.

2009-12-30T11:56:00.000-08:00

BIKE NITE WAS A SUCCESS! ALTHOUGH THE HOLIDAY TOOK A BIG CHUNK OF THE BIKE CROWD OUT OF TOWN, WE STILL HAD A NICE TURNOUT FOR THE FIRST VELOSHIP BIKE NITE AT THE MT. TABOR THEATER ON THE 26TH.

DJ SANDYJONES PLAYED SOME HIP HOP TUNES AND WE HAD A SPECIAL SURPRIZE DJ FLY IN FROM HONG KONG... DJ CIN, WHO THREW SOME WICKED DUBSTEP THROUGHOUT THE NITE. EVERYONE ENJOYED FREE DONUTS FROM VOODO, THE TABORS GREAT FOOD MENU AND DRINKS ALL AROUND. SOME FREE PRODUCT WAS HANDED OUT FROM LEADER BIKES AND OLEV AS WELL AS FREE MIXED CD'S FROM THE DJ'S. NEXT ROUND PROMISED MORE OF THE SAME...

WE SAW MACAFRAMA, MASH AND THE FULL MOVIE 'RAD'... A CLASSIC. THE CROWD HAD PLENTY OF CAT-CALLS FOR RAD AND IT'S 80'S CHEESY-NESS. LAUGHS ABOUNDED!

BELOW ARE SOME OUTSIDE SHOTS OF THE WHIPS...

A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE, WHO BRAVED THE COLD TO MAKE IT AN AWESOME NITE! THE VENUE WAS PLEASED AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL BE DOING IT AGAIN SOON, SO STAY LOCKED.

Winter Riding...

2009-12-06T14:27:00.000-08:00

If you're like me, the cold really gets to you this time of year when you're on your bike. And though it unfortunately isn't in the realm of cycling, I couldn't get by this winter without my AirBlaster Ninja suit to keep me toasty when I'm riding around town. It's a nice warm almost full body base layer that you should definitely look into.

Check them out at Airblaster's web site. Or at snowboard shops all around.

It's premier time!

2009-11-27T15:31:00.000-08:00

I'm working on the new site instead of doing homework... So please support my irresponsibility by coming to BIKE NITE on December 26th. You'd think since I'm already doing this that I'd be able to work on my WEB DESIGN homework... Nope. Anyways, I'm going to finish up for the night and go on a bike ride

We're moving!

2009-11-17T14:38:00.001-08:00

veloship.blogspot.com will soon be retiring. The rest of the crew (Sandy MF Jones, Ryan Jailmouth K.) and myself will be making the move to VELOSHIP.ORG. Be on the lookout!

2009-11-15T13:00:00.000-08:00

BIKE NITE has been pushed back to the 26th. It's a good thing though, trust me. It'll give me more time to line up sponsors so we can give you some dope gear to take home. We have a few confirmed sponsors, Shaun Deller, OLEVELO & VooDoo Donuts for example... And a good number of companies interested in making these events super special for you. Stay tuned!!!

2009-11-15T12:49:00.001-08:00

Brev.M is the new kid on the block as far as track/fixed components go. Now, they haven't been around nearly long enough for me to know how good their stuff its but they have some pretty good looking stuff coming out. The super sexy drops above for example. It'll be interesting to see where they take it and the quality of their components.

But for now check out Brev.M's website.

=2010 SUPER PISTA=

2009-11-14T01:33:00.001-08:00

WE ALL KNOW THAT I'M A HUGE FAN OF BIANCHI PISTAS... THE 2007 WAS MY FIRST TRACK FRAME AND WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY STABLE. FOR A LONG WHILE I'VE BEEN SWEATING THE PISTA CONCEPTS, BUT HAVEN'T MUSTERED ENOUGH EXTRA LOOT TO COP ONE. THEN THEY STOPPED PRODUCING THEM AND I WANTED ONE EVEN MORE... UNTIL NOW.

LO AND BEHOLD... 2010 SEES THE CONCEPTS REPLACEMENT, THE SUPER PISTA. IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE REAR TUBING, BEEFING IT UP AS WELL AS A LITTLE MORE CUTOUT ROOM IN THE REAR TO ACCOMADATE LARGER TIRE SIZES. THE SEAT TUBE IS TEAR-DROPPED RIGHT UP TO THE SEAT CLAMP. GRAPHICS ARE VINTAGE BIANCHI LOGOS AND ITS PRODUCED IN THE VELOSHIP TEAM COLOR... FLAT BLACK!!!

(ABOVE: BIANCHI'S BUILD UP AT INTERBIKE '09)

MADE IN 49-51-53-55-57-59 & 61, THIS ALUMINIUM FRAME COMES SET WITH A CARBON FORK ON AN INTEGRATED HEADSET... AND ALL THIS WILL ONLY RUN YOU $750. NOT BAD CONSIDERING THE USED CONCEPTS I WAS EYEBALLING WERE ALWAYS IN THE $600-$650 RANGE.

PIR Cross Crusade

Here's a short video of Cross Crusade in Portland. I've never done it but Cross sure looks fun. Brenton Salo took some pictures of it as well. You can find them at his website here.

These are new from Genetic Bikes. They're pretty much more of the same, except the black on blacks. Which would look super good on my bike. Find out more at Genetic's website.

Brenton Salo x Cyclocross

2009-11-10T20:17:00.000-08:00

Our good friend Brenton Salo went to the cyclocross race at PIR recently and got a few great shots like the one above. Check out his blog at brentonsalo.com to see more of his work.

Great things are on their way!

2009-11-10T19:07:00.000-08:00

Ok so we're working on a bike night at Mt. Tabor Theater, here in Portland. It's going to be a monthly event, which I'm stoked on. We'll have bike video screenings, music, food and drinks. Plus just a great time, that hopefully develops Portland's bike community further. We've got the venue on lock down and pretty much everything except sponsors. I've been talking with Jeff from All-City, and it looks like we'll have them for a sponsor in the months to come. And I'm working on getting some good companies to get in on this so that we can give people some dope gear in the process. If you have some hookups or something, let me know so we can make this even super fun for everyone.

Also, I'm working on my own personal baby... Top Secret. It will be a series of trick competitions, alley cat races, and just plain fun events. Due to my paranoid mindset, and a twisted sense of humor, the races will rely less on advertising and more on networking. If it works out as well as it does in my head, this is how it will work... A series of 3 events. I'm in the process of building a website for Top Secret, when that website is up, you will join a mailing list. When the race approaches, you'll be contacted with a time and location, you tell your friends about it and bring ONE entry fee for all of the events (provided you're participating) and in order to participate you'll have to bring your spoke card to each event. It should be super fun and hopefully it'll keep the cops off your backs. Cause nobody likes bike tickets. Keep in mind, I'm still in the planning stages but it sounds rad, right? Also lining up sponsors for that as well.

I'm trying to finally get VELOSHIP on the map so that we can do something for the community. Though, I'm a dreamer and my dreams are often a little larger than life.

I'm working on getting some product. Namely, a Milwaukee Bruiser or an All-City Dropout. I'd like to start reviewing things. So if you're listening, All-City and Milwaukee, I ride a 56(ish) in these bikes. (Actually, I did talk to Jeff about getting my hands on a Dropout... We'll see how successful I am)

Keep VELOSHIPPING,

HERE'S THE FINISHED PEUGEOT FOR SAYBELLA... NEW SURLY 20T ON THE BACK, OURY'S, NEW RISERS AND A SET OF CRANKS... HAS THE ALL-CITY CHAINRING BUT I'M NOT SURE WHO MAKES THE CRANK ARMS. THIS IS THE GOAL FOR THIS BIKE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WHITE TIRES... I THINK THAT'LL CREAM IT UP, TOTALLY.

RIDE WELL BELL!!! THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED FOR THE SPARE AND NEW PARTS... WE CANT HAVE PRETTY AND TALENTED GIRLS RIDING THE STREETS OF PORTLAND ON JANKY OLD 12 SPEEDS NOW, CAN WE?!

=THE PIGEON=

2009-10-14T13:32:00.000-07:00

SO I COPPED A PEUGEOT TOURMELET IN A TATTOO DEAL AND OF COURSE IT HAD TO BE CONVERTED...

THE NIGHT BEFORE I RECEIVED IT, THE PERSON GIVING IT TO ME CRASHED INTO A CURB AND BENT BACK THE FORK. AWESOME. IT ACTUALLY BENT THE STEERING TUBE AS WELL...

WHILE I WAS ABLE TO BEND THE FORK STRAIGHT AGAIN, THE STEERING TUBE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. AND ALTHOUGH ITS A BIT HARD TO TURN, I'M NOT TRIPPING!

DISASSEMBLY COMMENCED WITHIN MINUTES OF RECEIVING THE BIKE AND I WAS UNDERWAY....

I SWAPPED OUT THE CHAINRING FOR A 45 THAT I HAD FROM A PREVIOUS PEUGEOT CONVERT... HARD TO FIND THESE TO FIT, AS IT'S A FRENCH BIKE WHICH MEANS ALL THE SIZING IS HECKA WIERD.

THREW ON SOME NITTO RISERS, AND AN ALEXRIMS FRONT WHEEL...

THEN DROPPED IN A SPINERGY I COPPED FROM MY ROOMMATE...

AND VOILA!!! DONE DEAL. I GOT A LITTLE MORE HYPHY WITH IT AND SWAPPED UP THE FRONT WHEEL FOR A CAMPY 650, ALSO FROM SAID ROOMMATE SO I COULD GET JIGGY.

AND HERES THE FINAL BIKE... ALTHOUGH THE STEERING HOLDS SOME RESISTANCE AND THE CRANKS HAVE HELLA TOE-OVERLAP, I CAN STILL THROW BARSPINS AND RIDE MELLOW WATCHING FOR THE ALL TOO EASY PEDAL-STRIKE.

I LOVE THIS BIKE. THIS IS MY NEW RAIN MASHER... I'M PARTIAL TO TRACK GEOMETRY, BUT THIS IS ONE FUN BIKE TO RIDE. OH... I ALSO TORE OFF THE BRAKE-CABLE HOUSING FROM THE TOP TUBE, NATURALLY.

I NAMED THIS ONE THE 'PIGEON' CAUSE ITS WHITE AND DIRTY. WORD. SEE YOU ON THE PORTLAND STREETS MY FRIENDS!!!

VANCOUVER, WA

THERE'S A RAD TRAIL IN VANCOUVER, WA... PERFECT FOR THAT SUNDAY RIDE. SMOOTH AND SCENIC, AT A COUPLE OF MILES LONG, I RIDE THIS ROUTE WITH FRIENDS FOR A DECOMPRESSION FROM THE HUSTLE-N-BUSTLE OF CITY RIDING.

IT'S SMOOTH AND SEMI-FLAT WITH ROLLING HILLS THAT TRAVERSE A MEADOW IN BETWEEN THE URBAN-SCAPE OF THE 'COUV. THERE ARE PEAR TREES TO PICK FROM AND WHETHER YOU ARE CRUISING OR ALL-OUT SPRINTING, THIS TRAIL IS DEFINITELY A RECOMMENDED RIDE.

THE END OF THE TRAIL HAS AN AWESOME LOOKOUT OVER THIS LAKE, COMPLETE WITH A WATER FOUNTAIN, SEATS TO SIT AND SMOKE AND THERE'S ALWAYS A FREIGHT TRAIN DRENCHED IN GRAFFITI TO BREAK UP THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE.
RIGHT OFF OF HAZEL-DELL DRIVE THE PATH SHOOTS OFF IN TWO DIRECTIONS... ONE TAKES YOU ON A 40 MILE LOOP THROUGH PARKS AND NEIGHBORHOODS, THE OTHER ON A SECLUDED, TREE-LADEN ESCAPE. CHECK IT OUT!

SHE JUST SCORED SOME RISERS, NEW TIRES, BIGGER CHAIN-RING AND MORE. LOOKING FOR WHITE TIRES SOON AND THE RECENT BLESSING OF A WHITE TURBO SADDLE COURTESY OF PATRICK FROM PEDAL-CONSUMPTION ARE SURE TO MAKE THIS A NOTICABLE RIDE AROUND PORTLAND. GO GIRL!
