13thWitness dropped his latest video Run 4 Cover a few hours ago. It features my man Nigel Sylvester. I shot Nigel in New York a couple years back. Soon after he really blew up (of course, our little video had nothing to do with it… Nigel is a hardworking cat with a terrific team). I really like this kid. Super nice, humble, all that. And great on the bike.
Crazy that he only just turned 23 two weeks ago.
Did Slate commission a Mötley Crüe jersey?
And it reads well, too.

There is a bike shop in Germany (pictured) that uses 120 bikes on a wall as a “sign.” Made me think of the single 19th-century trade sign I posted several months ago. I like the idea, I like the graphic effect and the grandeur of it all. It creates solid public sculpture.
damn, only 24 & Nino Schurter simultaneosly has the World Cup & World Championship title.
R.I.P. Laurent Fignon, 8/12/60-8/31/10.
Cycles Gitane, as the company is called in France, has one of the richest histories in the world of cycling. They have supported some of the best riders, most notably Bernard Hinault and one of our favorites, Laurent Fignon.
Fignon rose to prominence in the 1983 Tour de France. At the age of 22, he was hired to ride support for Hinault. Hinault injured his knee in his Vuelta a Espana victory and didn’t start the Tour de France that year. Fignon was tapped as team leader since he was riding so strong and went on to win the 1983 Tour de France. The French rider then stuffed a back to back win in 1984 in France and the Milan-San Remo and the Giro d’Italia in 1989.

When I first moved to Boston, in 2006, I quickly realized that getting around via public transportation was miserable.
