We closed down the block this past weekend as we hosted the Bicycle Film Festival block party for the second year in a row!  Hundreds of people showed up despite the oppressively hot weather.

There were DJ’s, Burrito’s, BMX and fixed gear competitions all day long.

The highlight of the day was the special performance by legendary artistic cyclist Ines Brunn.  If you think pedaling bar spin wheelies on a track bike is impressive check this out. Ines performed her world famous Kunst Rad Show and upped the fixed gear ante by pulling circular backwards seated pedaling death truck maneuvers over the rough and uneven road in front of our shop.

Ines also let us tool around on her trick bike, and later we had a private session with some of the local LA flatlanders. Much Respect Ines!

Ines was also riding a new pink Cinelli track bike laced with silver Level hubs and platform pedals. We had a chance to ride around some and it was a suprise to me that this was a new cycling genre to Ines. We hooked her up with some custom painted pink GR-9s with clips and straps before turning her loose on the streets of San Francisco.
