Locked Tight

In their “Top Ten Worst Cities for Bike Theft,” Kryptonite crowned a new “winner,” and it’s none other than our fair city of Philadelphia. According to the report, no other city even came close. Looks like the price of gas has driven (pun intended) more consumers to the two-wheeled leg pumper. Or could it just be that the high murder rate has trickled down into petty crime? Or are more hipsters reporting their fixies stolen because they spent wayyyyy too much money on them. Just find an old road bike and do a conversion. So what if it has vertical drops? Are horizontals/chain tension really going to make that much of a difference as your ride between DJ nights?

illside ink

Whilst perusing the world wide web today, I stumbled upon Illside Ink, a multimedia design studio. I’ve been working on a telephone pole stencil for a while now and, as I struggle to figure out how I’m going to spray paint this stencil onto plexiglass, I’ve found hope in the above artists. Just some cool shit I thought I’d share. Check em out here

Love Dem Philly Cops: take 2

Once again, Philadelphia cops have found themselves in a sticky situation, and they’re preaching their message loud and clear…. again…

EXCESSIVE FORCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

We’ve heard that one before. This case came in reaction to the most recent videotaped beating. So this is what went down: Two cops found a 36 year old man writing graffiti… on the wall of a newly married friend…. last August. Naturally, the man ran. Rather than use their words like we learned in kindergarten, the two cops beat the man upon capturing him and then threw him head first into the cop car. After running a background check and finding out that he was clean, they released the man. His friends, who happened to witness the situation, took him to the hospital. With a broken jaw and missing teeth, the man was never charged for anything. This is because the cops (love em!) made up false records to make it look like they were somewhere else … no where near this man. After the highly publicized beating, this man has come forward to prove to the people how messed up our law enforcement truly is.

So, go ahead. Tell the world about the last time you got beat up by the cops. It seems to be the cool thing to do nowadays.
