the bear has the right idea

From the news: An Andean spectacled bear called Juan plays with a bicycle after escaping from his enclosure in the Berlin zoo, August 29, 2004. The bear roamed around a children's playground before being caught by zookeepers. Staff shot anaesthetic darts at the 110 kilo (242 lb) bear to knock him out. Spectacled bears are the only bear species found in South America. They inhabit the mountainous regions of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. Picture taken August 29, 2004 

more vids

from NYC, another cool bike messenger race. watch carefully and you'll see that some of these guys are hardcore (riding in traffic on track bikes w/o brakes). i've had a few track bikes, but i always put a front brake on because i'm not a badass. lincoln traffic isn't bad at all, i'm sure one could go brakeless, but then the cops might get pissy.


and for all you bmx kids out there, don't be stupid.

the brother's gonna work it out

riding underground (made by a bike messenger in NYC). Too bad we don't have subways here. The closest I come to this in Lincoln is the bombing down the parking garages at 3am.
