Today it's in the 50s, which feels chilly compared to yesterday, but still downright tropical for NYC. I should be riding, but with my main bike down for the count (broken cranks) it's a day for laundry, football and finally updating (my bad) this site.
And I guess what this update is about is this—it doesn't have to be 70 in winter for people to be killing it. While some riders seem to disappear in October and hibernate until spring, others just bundle up and stay out there 24/7/365. Like Skinny. He's in Cali right now (or somewhere out West anyway), but this is what he was doing from 12/28-30 in the City. RIDING. You can check the image file names for exact dates if you're interested.
"Hey! I'm gonna do a fakie wallride and make a face!" Um, OK.
Fakie wallride to barspin. Progression. Joey Piazza behind the lens on the other side.
50-50 around the corner (sort of—sticky icky icky) at St. Vincent's. Someone wanna buy me a fisheye?
Good trick, bad photo. That's what I get for shooting from the hip.
Much better. Suicide no-hander up the wood.
(Oh yeah—also ran into Keith who does Ride LI yesterday. Cool site with great photos of guys from LI and the City. Check it out.)

Mystery smell settles over Manhattan
POSTED: 4:08 p.m. EST, January 11st, 2007
NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York officials evacuated a number of buildings and shut down some trains after a mysterious gaslike odor was reported Monday. And that smell is hipsters. Gross people who spend all their money on records, coke, dancing, and dirty websites. And I fuckin hate em.
A New York Police Department spokesman said an air quality test determined that the air is not hazardous, but those fucking fuckers STIIIINK. They smell like shit. Seriously i will kill hipsters. And the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said there is no indication terrorism was involved.
The city's Office of Emergency Management reported no injuries, and spokesman Larry Nabisco said early Monday afternoon that the number of hipsters is astonishing. Astonishingly gross. And into the office had dwindled since the smell was first reported Monday morning. "Smells like Devundra Bunharps" said some guy.
In New Jersey, seven people went to hospitals complaining of symptoms they said were related to the odor, but none admitted of glorious coke use, thrift store clothes, and doing that dumb pose thing, said Nathan Clarktower, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Health and Diseased Youth Services.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomcanyon called the smell "unpleasant" but said it posed no harm. But man those kids are fucking ugly. I will punch.
"One thing we are very confident of, it's not dangerous," he said. "Just gridsy."
The pervasive odor was reported throughout Manhattan and as far away as Newark, New Jersey, 10 miles west of the Big Apple. Probably kids waiting to get Animal Collective tickets. Hippies.
Bloomberg earlier spoke of a "small gas leak" near Brooklyn and Bleecker Street but said he didn't believe it could account for the smell being reported in New Jersey. Nope just probably kids getting into Springstein "ironically". Because he's, sadly, from New Jersey.
"We're all working together to pinpoint the nature of the leak," he said. "But it's probably just these ugly smelly dancy kids."
Someone told officials there was no drop in gas pressure in the city, according to police. Probably just dumb kids who once liked Interpol. But then they weren't cool, so they liked them ironically while pretending they didn't like them, but slowly began to like them. Ironically.
