Missed Connections Bicycle Style

The most anyone has ever yelled at me while riding is "Get a drivers license!" I have one by the way. But it looks like someone out there is yelling nice things at cyclists:

Last Friday morning 8/19 you yelled at me and said "I want to ride your bike". You were in a silver Toyota, I think. Would like to meet you. If you see this. What did you tell me you had?

Slider Inn Bicycle Rack

Slider Inn is a new restaurant recently opened in Midtown that serves tiny burgers. As we rode into the parking lot to lock up at their bike rack I caught a flat. Not just a regular flat, but a tire slashing, hafta put a dollar bill between the tube and tire type of flat. Once that was fixed we went in and cooled off with a cold beer and ordered some tiny burgers and sandwiches (they also have mini chicken sandwiches). Best part: spicy mayonnaise. Post cyclocross races: beer, frites, and spicy mayo.

Here's how it racks up:

Form - Standard
Function - Pass
Environment - Doesn't match but does have its own dedicated space.
Points of Interest - Slider Inn

Metrocycles

Metrocycles is a custom t-shirt company that incorporates a bicycle into city and state names. I spotted this on Urban Velo and when they didn't have Pittsburgh I thought for sure that they wouldn't have Memphis, but they do! Well, not as a t-shirt but as an oval sticker. I'm sure the t-shirts won't be difficult though.

Midnight Classic Jersey Making Party

A couple of people are getting together this Friday night, the night before the Midnight Classic, to DIY some t-shirts to wear at said Midnight Classic. I've always loved screening my own t-shirts so I'm gonna try to make it over to this.

Here's the Facebook.

Nice Ride MN: Minnesota's Bike Share Expands from Streetfilms on Vimeo.

Nice Ride is a bike share program in Minneapolis. Really cool at 1:55, putting the station on the street in front of a cafe patio so the patrons don't have to smell car exhaust. What if the Young Avenue Deli was like this? No loud Harley's either.
