Graham Goetz, New York, NY 2010.
Just prior to our short internet hiatus (sorry, we were busy getting married, dislocating shoulders and writing a book!) we caught up with our “Where Is This?” #16 contest winner, Graham Goetz. Graham won a pair of Tobruk shoes from Chrome. We caught up with him outside the grand opening party of Chrome’s new store on Mulberry St. He slipped them on out front, a perfect fit! Stay tuned here and at our Facebook fan page. We’ll be back to posting our WIT contests soon.

Gordon Lew. Brooklyn, 2010.
After Gordon Lew won his second “Where Is This?” contest, BIKE NYC called a meeting.
“Who is this kid?”
“Is he going to win all of our prizes?”
Gordon seemed to know where everything was.
When we met him, to deliver the Crumpler Western Lawn messenger bag and the EighthInch Track Bars he won, we understood why.
Gordon is a high school student, born and raised in NYC. He lives in Brooklyn Heights and bikes the city often with his Dad. Great to meet you Gordon! Ride safe!

Custom frame builder Johnny Coast and his Campagnolo tools. Brooklyn, 2010.
Hand-built and silver-brazed in a small shop in Bushwick, by a kid raised in his Dad’s custom car shop in Colorado, Coast Cycles are the new classics. Coast’s love for his craft is indispensable.
But don’t just take our word for it, go see for your self! This Saturday frame builders Johnny Coast and his TIG welding shop mate Seth Rosko will roll up their heavy metal door to demonstrate welding techniques and discuss frame design with the public. BBQ and beer will be available and music will be provided by DJs Dirty Finger, Porkchop & James Stacher. Be sure to join the Times-Up! group ride from Manhattan & Williamsburg to the shop, which leaves from Tompkins Square Park at 12:30 PM. Meet up with Brooklyn riders at Washington Plaza (the park on the Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge), around 1 PM.

Did you know that the average animal life lasts a billion heartbeats? The larger the animal; the slower the heart rate; the longer the average lifespan. Mice, four years. Horses, 40 years. Blue whales, 80 years.
Humans live an average of 65 years but we lengthen our lives by slowing our heart rates through exercise.
This is the kind of thing you learn while writing a book about biking in NYC. Or when you spend a few minutes outside a deli in midtown with paramedic and die-hard bike commuter Eli Friedman.
Eli won our 4th "Where Is This?" contest and BIKE NYC caught up with him last week to deliver his Continuum Cycles gift card. Great to meet you Eli!
We caught up with our 6th winner Margarita Morales a few days later at Cake Shop to deliver her Seagull hip bag. She was catching up on some writing after a day of work at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island.
Margarita lives in Newark, NJ and runs a blog called Star Beat Music. She recently took third place in the Brick City Bike Collective Egg-mazing Scavenger Hunt. Go Margarita!
