Keith, Candice, and I (Devan) started a much needed Nashville bicycle forum: Music City Cycling. This will be a great way to network with other riders, find out about rides, post rides, procrastinate, etc.
Nashville Bike Day - Murfreesboro Bike Nite

First Ride (Nashville) -
The Murfreesboro girls are going to come down for the afternoon to ride with us! We'll meet up at 2:00 at the red bench in Hillsboro Village. I think we'll do a casual ride downtown, to the Shelby Bottoms Greenway, and ride to the Cumberland Bridge and back. Then we'll head over to Centennial Park to hang out and trick around. After that we can all go to fido, cafe coco, bongo, or wherever to get some food.
Second Ride (Murfreesboro) -
We're going to carpool to Murfreesboro for bike nite! A lot of people come out to this ride and it'll be a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people. I believe it starts around 9:00-9:20. Let's meet up in the Fido parking lot at 8:00 and try to head out by 8:15. I have room for 3 people in my car. Who else can drive if we have more people than that decide to come to Murfreesboro?
Retired Belts
Vittoria Randonneur tires wear out with a signature red strip. Once they kick-over and die, they expose their threads and are useless to ride on. Instead of just throwing these away, Dylan Bigby decided to re-appropriate them as belts. Using high-quality brass snaps and trimmed down Randos, he's made a green product thats functionality equals its design.
He calls them Retired Belts and you can see tons of pictures over at his blog. Hand made in SF from tires ridden in SF. Legit!
Available at the Retired Belts shop for $25 plus shipping.

Learning to Wheelie..
Since Tom and I have been able to get a lot out the fixed gear community we would like to give back to it in some way. We’re willing to bet that a lot of frequenters Sir Probably’s have seen this video, but we feel it is a great tutorial to learning how to wheelie.
A self proclaimed “fixie newb” systematically breaks down the mechanics of the wheelie into a clear and concise list.
1. Raise your seat to find your balance point.
2. Pop it up with your most comfortable foot which may be your left or right or other foot. There is no need to worry about trying too hard because the front end comes up automatically.
3. Get into the “Go Point”
4. Balance that shit.
5. Wheelie all the way into a tardy mark in homeroom.
I know a bunch of people looking to get this down...so seeing this made me want to post it.so enjoy

My name is Justin and I run this blog. Ducko invited me over to post new music because regardless of how hard you try, you cannot download a bike and listen to it on your mp3 player.
In future post, I'll try and stay away from syndication, but for now here's the new BISB mix courtesy of Sam from Penguin Parade on WRVU.
