Ghostbikes.org is doing their 3rd Annual Memorial Ride for cyclists and pedestrians who were killed by cars in NYC.

Please come out to show your support of those fallen.

Thank You

Its not often that a toilet manufacturer takes a real risk with there advertising dollars, but when they do. Why not go big right? Check out this commercial. Reminds me the Meatpacking district, but cleaner.

Well it appears that D.A.N.C.E. has completely made it mainstream, making it to the late night talk shows. It’s great though! Get more people into good music and fun parties.

Went down to the Banks this weekend to check out some of my comrades perform bike tricks in honor of the Mash SF premier. I am no filmmaker, but I saw my old digital 8 camcorder sitting alone that Sunday morning so I decided to film it. Edited in iMovie. Ghetto style, but shows off some east coast talent.

Those crazy guys are at it again making urban culture a hell of a lot more fun. Check out this 7 min clip of them converting a Muni stop in SF to a portable rave. Pretty cool stuff… Would love to get this shit started in NYC.

In the small town of Northampton (pop. 30,000) a group of bicyclists banded together to form a pedal powered garbage/recycling hauling service for their town who outsources residential garbage pickup.

Amazingly they work year round in all conditions for very competitive $30 weekly rate. This beats my current $200/mo garbage service here in NYC by far.

This is the first time I have heard of bicyclist’s doing this but I sincerly hope that more towns will pick it up, or maybe the Pedal People can franchise out the business. NYC could benefit from this greatly.

Those cats that own the ultra-fun arcade /slash/ amazing American beer hotspot Barcade, have come correct with another sure to be amazing Williamsburg venue The Gutter. Which promises to mix great beer with an old school 60’s like bowling experience.

I can see it now. Williamsburg vs. Greenpoint bowl-offs, fashionable bowling shoe boutiques, custom designed bowling balls. I can’t wait!

Location: 200 North 14th Street just west of Berry

Check the link below for some great pics courtesy of the Gothamist.

For those of you that like BBQ this is the end of summer event not to be missed.

In case you don’t love ribs, (and frankly who doesn’t) they have Jim Beam and Coke Slushies, a 6 hole mini-golf course and Bloody Mary’s with bacon in it!

The Parks Department and PlaNYC wants to know what you think should happen with the McCarren Park. If you care at all about this amazing venue and want to have a voice in the future of it please go here and fill out a brief survey. Help keep Williamsburg fun!

Thanks Kimba for the find!

Really does this take any more explanation?
