Well it took long enough but….. I’m Happy to announce the Re-Opening of the Orange 20 Online Store. The Online Store has the same inventory and the same prices as the actual store and inventory gets updated about every 24 hours.



First 20 online orders get 5% off! (Just Type “Holla” in the Discount Coupon Box) Sign up for the newsletter to receive additional customer coupons and Orange 20 news. If you were already a customer then you should still be able to log in. We Hope you like the photos and the new format, there is more to come. Our goal is to offer the same support and selection that you get at our shop. We have most of the bugs worked out but Please bare with us as we attempt to run and manage the new online presence.

I’ve been working on a DIY bicycle photo book called “BIKE LIFE” for the last couple months (or the last few years if you count actually shooting the photo’s). Well – it’s finally done and I’m releasing the edition along with 10 unique, one of a kind, one-off, Red Riding Hood x Yanco Pads frame pads!

The Party is this Sat night at Orange 20 Bikes and is sponsored by PBR (yum;) Please see the flyer below for RSVP info!

About the books:
There are 27 black and white photo’s in this 4″ x 5.5″ soft cover book. The shots are from different places I’ve been to and different rides, races and events I was lucky enough to be a part of. Including Bike Messenger championships (CMWC’s and NACCC’s), Worldcup velodrome championships, Black Label’s Bike Kill in Brooklyn, the Bicycle Kitchen and Los Angelopes in LA, street shots of fixed gear tricksters under the BQE, kids fixing bicycles in DTLA and the Lower East Side, and a couple of my favorite artists rendering bicycles into their work.

Each has a hand printed cover and a stitched binding in neon orange thread.

Submit your bicycle movie to The Ninth Annual Bicycle Film Festival!

The Bicycle Film Festival is a 16 city, world wide celebration of bicycles through film, art and music.

This is a call for submissions to all creative people – MAKE A BIKE MOVIE!!! (Or finish the one you’re working on!!!)

Submissions DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 7, 2009.

Check out the website (www.bicyclefilmfestival.com) where you can look over past programs and watch the trailers to see what they have screened in the past.

Films shorter than 10 minutes are easier to program for the shorts programs.

But they will screen a really good movie no matter how long it is.

LA has contributed some incredible films in the past and we’d love to see some good LA films get screened worldwide again!

Fri night was awesome! We raised some buck$ for Wormser and gave toys to the kiddies! Here’s a couple photo’s and a video (starring our very own Killa’) from the GoldSprints at the new shop.

The flyer says it all!

Possibly the best annual alley cat race LA has to offer, the Cranksgiving charity race has raised money and donated food to Para Los Ninos every Thanksgiving season for the last EIGHT years!

Cranksgiving was originally conceived and promoted by NYC bike messenger Tone Rodrigues as a way for the New York Bike Messenger Association to give back to people less fortunate than themselves over 10 years ago.  In 2001, a couple of LA messengers went to Budapest, Hungary for the Cycle Messenger World Championships (CMWC’s).  They met Tone there, heard about the race, and decided to organize their own Cranksgiving race in down town LA that year.

Cranksgiving is now held in cities around the world, contributing Thanksgiving food donations to various charities and causes just in time for Thanksgiving.  So bring your bag and $10 to the lighthouse at Echo Park Lake on Nov. 26th.  Race for this great cause and be a part of the Cranksgiving spirit!!
