Velo City 2010, Aug. 28th at Hellyer Velodrome

The Velocity Tour is an annual multi-city event for bike couriers  and other urban cyclists to try and compete in the sport of track racing. The main competition for this event is for airfare to the Cycle Messenger World Championships, held this year in Panajachal Guatemala. There will also be a prize for the top city cyclist and a fixed gear freestyle competition as well.

This an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact within the urban cycling community, as it draws not only the Bay Area’s fastest messengers competing for the ticket and the local trackies looking to show off, but we are also holding a fixed gear freestyle competition to attract the less speed focused more style minded riders and giving them an opportunity to strut their stuff too.

Tricky Fixie Session at Panhandle Park

This weekend was super fun thanks to all the fixie riders just ownin’ stuff on flatland and the stair set all day.  Joshua Squeeks eeke’d out the ‘W’ with a HUGE three off a six stair…not to mention some other spinny whippy things that were sick.  He got a free SkullyBoom for his domination.

We were also fortunate enough to hang out with John Zacarias, the founder of Calab Streetwear.  His company brings it with a fresh graffiti inspired style, and to top it off, each shirt is packaged in a recycled spray can for extra awesomeness.
