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.

The City Reliquary knows how to throw a party. Their 6th Annual Bicycle Fetish was no exception. Hundreds gathered on Havermeyer street in Brooklyn last Saturday to ride, race and show off their bikes. BIKE NYC was there to document some of the action, so check it out!

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.

Marci and Michael. Governor’s Island Ferry. NYC, 2010.
Can you envision a car free NYC? Despite the DOT’s campaign to expand the "bicycle network" and the growth of our bike community, neither can we. But thanks to an off-season invitation from Elizabeth Rapuano and Ellen Cavanagh of the Governor’s Island Preservation & Education Corporation we can envision a car free destination, five minutes from the Battery.
You’ll be invited too! From June 5th to October 10th Governor’s Island is open to the public. The ferry ride is free and bicycles are more than welcome. If you don’t have one, you can rent one, or save your hard earned dollars for ice cream and visit on Bike and Roll’s Free Bike Fridays. Until then, here are a few photos we took on our recent ride around the island. Thanks again Elizabeth and Ellen!
