My pink single speed

So over the last couple years I’ve gotten obsessed with single speed bikes since I have been seeing them all over town for years. Some folks I know ride fixed gears too but I’m not really ready to make that jump from riding mountain bikes for the last ten years.

Anyhow, my neighbor Jessie built this bike for me and I am totally digging cruising around town on it. It was my Christmas gift to myself this year and one of the few things I’ve bought that isn’t camera gear that cost over $100.

So I just got this today from a guy who used to shoot for us checking in with him on his availability…

Sorry man, I’ve moved back to New York and am working for Men’s Health magazine.

Yelp me!

A year ago today…

Kristy Hawkins, James Cook and myself

So I ran into Kristy Hawkins today as she’s doing Nationals this weekend and while we had our planning meeting for the magazine tonight we perused her site and found this old shot from a year ago at Nationals in Dallas. Funny how I am wearing the exact same shirt and pants in the shot – how sad…
