Bikes since I was 6.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is your favorite spot in the city to ride? </span><br />Buffalo State. Right infront of the student union.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How is your bike set up?</span><br />Fly components except back wheel stem and bars Sunday Bars Animal stem oddysey rims to profile hub.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />How do you feel about riding through Buffalo winters?</span><br />Ive done it. I don’t ever want to do it again. I did a paper route for 3 or 4 years. Rode a mountain bike and hated it. It completely destroyed each bike every year.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who inspires you to ride?</span><br />Chris Doyle. Mike Aitken. If I am feeling nostalgic Ill watch the old rad videos or the first props.<br />My friend Bob. He runs trails and Eric Cycleworks in Hamburg.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUXRHjR3nD_nasJsEU0PXn11ph-Cuefbb4p-WPgknkc4B440Xp0Fuvx5AhHOj28Aa88xP-u-a0NEUblawzh8iMefPAfIbxFo3Lzp4LfXzmq88Ce7x3v31NGsc1xvRtnCCnGItURU6s6R7a/s1600/6740_1213785947482_1313809086_1356280_70535_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUXRHjR3nD_nasJsEU0PXn11ph-Cuefbb4p-WPgknkc4B440Xp0Fuvx5AhHOj28Aa88xP-u-a0NEUblawzh8iMefPAfIbxFo3Lzp4LfXzmq88Ce7x3v31NGsc1xvRtnCCnGItURU6s6R7a/s400/6740_1213785947482_1313809086_1356280_70535_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523734645628491970" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What do you listen to while you ride?</span><br />No Warning: Ill blood every time I ride. A lot of black flag and misfits.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do you feel safe riding brakeless in the city?</span><br />No not at all. I ride freewheel and the general population of Buffalo doesn’t know how to drive.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How do you rate Buffalo for riding?<br /></span>6/10 for spots. Where I live I give my community a 9/10. Not a lot of unity. Very cliquey. Most kids ride park because that’s all they feel buffalo has to offer. I don’t ride park.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What are you looking forward to most?</span><br />More tricks. Working on 360’s and wallrides. Fine tuning. Hopwhips. Also just hanging out with friends meeting new people and taking on the next challenge that the next day brings.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />What's the best moment you had while riding?</span><br />Riding trails everyday when I was 16.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What influenced your riding today? </span><br />Skateboarded for 6 months. There was a skateshop in hamburg and there was a rivalry between the skateshop and bike shop. The oweners of the skateshop had beef because they were going to start selling bikes. The bike shop was next to my house so I started hanging there and the owner was more of a mentor to me because he wasn’t doing drugs and he really gave me the momentum and thought to ride bmx and through the beef I started riding Bmx.<br /><br />I raced bmx 2 years broke my arm then quit. Hit the jump and they had changed it that day so I wasn’t used to it. I went straight up and straight down. Broke my arm, six stitches, and knocked out. It was right before the championship. Placed 5th in the ameteur seris. Next year I placed fourth.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What other things are you involved in?<br /></span> Music as much as I can be. I work at a café and I am a chef there. Going to school is a waste of money if you are good at something you don’t need school.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Travel?</span><br />Anywhere! Chicago within the next year and new york city.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Final thoughts?</span><br />Lately I have been pushing for sponsors riding more and pushing my limits. It has been rewarding everytime I ride learning something new about myself. In a perfect world: Odyyseyy/Sunday.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shout outs!</span> Erics Cycleworks, all my friends that I ride with. Joe P and Charlie R. S&M and any American made products. Supporting the American economy. Well made bikes and progressing to the future of bmx.</span>Delicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-22727341906422868672010-09-08T22:21:00.000-07:002010-09-08T22:26:45.480-07:00Strap ReinforcementOriginally conceived over at the <a href="http://ynotcycle.blogspot.com/">YNOT garage</a> here is a great way to reinforce your pedal straps.

I like to pretend I am in Mash all day everyday.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How is your bike set up?</span><br />Roy: It's so shitty. 54cm Windsor Clockwork decked out with reflective tape over the logos with Soma dropbars. Drops all the way. Oury grips on top. Some Alex wheels. Stem is a nub thing. Half the stuff on my bike doesn't have a name on it. My ratio is 48:17<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's the best moment you had while riding?</span><br />Roy: Riding to Niagara Falls with Billy. It was a really pleasant day. There was a great energy to it. I woke up with a smile on my face and went to sleep with a smile on my face. It is 56 miles round trip from my house. The feeling the next day was great. It gave me the confidence to realize 20 miles isn't so bad.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Did you ride before riding fixed?</span><br />Roy: Yeah, I started riding on a blue road bike when I was 14. I have been riding fixed for 2 and a half years now. I used to hate fixed gears. I hated the way it felt, but then Landon and Billy got them. I gave it more of a shot and I like how much more control I have. I think more with my feet than my hands now.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How do you feel about riding through Buffalo winters?</span><br />Roy: Everyone should try it once. If you have somewhere to be don't let it stop you from getting there. Just dress right . I ride my bike how it is set up during the summer same as winter. 700cx23 with crappy Gatorskins.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKwfw4MCxFjmj0Su8-AoKL81tDSeWJ0wDQb_4gY-FdKc2q1YGUTR6sV5qInrJnvUddQ2A0KxZSr6Gxhw-0gy-K_JuG0a1mGqBbDMUi-zpx3KmxfhvzlG0Kyu9WpR4VYB2S4FULtEDWg2k0/s1600/35808_1348170189407_1385880233_30763384_412675_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKwfw4MCxFjmj0Su8-AoKL81tDSeWJ0wDQb_4gY-FdKc2q1YGUTR6sV5qInrJnvUddQ2A0KxZSr6Gxhw-0gy-K_JuG0a1mGqBbDMUi-zpx3KmxfhvzlG0Kyu9WpR4VYB2S4FULtEDWg2k0/s400/35808_1348170189407_1385880233_30763384_412675_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512558571083449026" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who or what inspired you to ride?</span><br />Roy: Originally it was drive to get out and see things. Its the best way to clear your head and think. Then it snowballed from there.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What do you listen to while you ride?</span><br />Roy: Pop punk or Paramore. A lot of Paramore or when I am tired more ambient music. Usually I ride to the music.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do you feel safe riding fixed brakeless?</span><br />Roy: I feel like I have complete control. I can stop as quick as anyone with a brake. I love the focus it brings. It also comes with the control factor, but it's control you have to gain.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How do you rate Buffalo for riding?</span><br />Roy: Considering I have never ridden anywhere else I give it an 8/10. I like the community.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What are you looking forward to most?</span><br />Roy: Fall. Wearing a hoodie. Oh and a new bike.

Just after 7 o'clock post meridian, the cyclists took to the streets, destined for a secluded, lackluster "skate"park in North Tonawanda. As the first stop of the ride was haphazardly chosen by Mr. Sperrazza, not many knew of location's existence, and even fewer knew riding directions. After an initial few awkward seconds, Steve ascended to the rank of leader, directing the bunch for a few miles of easy riding.<br />Riding there, the gang developed a good flow: Steve imparted directions, friends chatted, Bennett turned the mounded earth around trees into ramps, and newcomers discovered the attractive grace of mass rides. A quick twenty minutes was all it took to arrive at the ramp-infested estate. Once there, a few pictures were taken, the ramps were tested by the burly 40c tires of Bennett and Charles, and miniature discussions of bikes were had. As quickly as everyone had arrived, a new destination was chosen, and they were off once again.<br />This time headed for the cooling breeze of the water, the bunch made their way to Tonawanda's Mississippi Mudds, a restaurant facing Lake Erie, located on Niagara Street.<br />From there, the riders continued along the water, this time via the smooth blacktop of the Niagara bike path. A few short miles south, the thirty-pack stopped to admire the placid water and pose for a group picture. As the gang recollected, spirits were still high. It was at this point that the organizers of the first ever Tuesday night ride knew their plan had yielded success. From there, the group, along with yet another few add-ons, travelled farther down Niagara, turning left on Hertel.<br />It was around this point that the "group" nature became slightly disbanded, and people separated. Thanks in part to a couple flats, inpatient SUV-mongerers, and annoyingly-slim shoulders, many of the original riders had either lost the group or had called it a night and retired to their homes.<br />With still ten or twelve cyclists left, the group stopped for fuel at Mighty Taco, situated near the intersection of Delaware and Hertel. As Tex-Mex was inhaled, everyone was still in good shape and enjoying the cool summer evening.<br />From there, the majority of riders had said their goodbyes and ridden home. A small group opted for ice cream at Fowler's on Elmwood and set their proverbial sails towards the village.<br />So although the plans were shaky at best, it was pulled off with zero resistance or incident. Everyone was in the best of moods and no one got emotional about minor trivialities. This past Tuesday has proven, if nothing else, that riding your bike with some friends can be one of the best, easiest ways to have a good time.<br />For Tuesdays to come, expect more organization, more people, and more awesomeness. We meet at Shoshone Park, a stone's throw from Main and Hertel. All who possess two-wheeled transportation and a good attitude are welcome.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguSeBk0-aK3MeVHE_5AsJ0VGenNVh4V_z5xB6iKFX__RPioNRpqlwMaXy4yKnnszLpD5HBg0n4n6M3aWJKODxufR6Wg-LbUEJFBuyfeIRUXvpO0ZzdsJDP9Wu7Or9uN5To-sqyAblA0xd4/s1600/40361_1377020830655_1385880233_30835561_2844594_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguSeBk0-aK3MeVHE_5AsJ0VGenNVh4V_z5xB6iKFX__RPioNRpqlwMaXy4yKnnszLpD5HBg0n4n6M3aWJKODxufR6Wg-LbUEJFBuyfeIRUXvpO0ZzdsJDP9Wu7Or9uN5To-sqyAblA0xd4/s320/40361_1377020830655_1385880233_30835561_2844594_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504413073624241074" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The second ride will go off at the same time as last week same meet up spot!<br /><br />Facebook Event:<span class="uiTextTitle mrs"></span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/?sk=events#%21/event.php?eid=138592672843490"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Buffalo Ny: The 2nd Tuesday Ride</span></a>Delicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-87541297918214731162010-08-05T22:37:00.000-07:002010-08-05T23:09:10.190-07:00Buffalo, Ny: Tuesday RideThis Tuesday August 10th at 6:30pm we will be kicking off the first ride of our weekly rides. The plan is to meet at Shoshone Park at the tennis courts. These used to be our old polo courts if any of you remember. We encourage anyone on any bike to come and enjoy the ride which will be led by someone chosen at random at meet up time. So its not a bad idea to have some ideas stored up just incase you are the one leading! These will hopefully continue every week and be a nice addition to the Sunday night rides that go on every weekend.<br /><br />Here is a map to the meet up location:<br /><iframe width="300" height="300" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Shoshone+Park,+Buffalo,+NY&sll=43.033304,-79.1174&sspn=0.444684,1.053314&ie=UTF8&hq=Shoshone+Park&hnear=Shoshone+Park,+Buffalo,+Erie,+New+York+14214&t=h&ll=42.954978,-78.832054&spn=0.018846,0.025749&z=14&iwloc=A&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=Shoshone+Park,+Buffalo,+NY&sll=43.033304,-79.1174&sspn=0.444684,1.053314&ie=UTF8&hq=Shoshone+Park&hnear=Shoshone+Park,+Buffalo,+Erie,+New+York+14214&t=h&ll=42.954978,-78.832054&spn=0.018846,0.025749&z=14&iwloc=A" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small><br /><br /><br />Link to Facebook Event: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=150350088312105#%21/event.php?eid=150350088312105">Buffalo, Ny: Tuesday Ride</a>Delicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-73496972780445958142010-07-30T14:26:00.001-07:002010-07-30T14:59:16.626-07:00Hey guys, I'll be making some posts on here now, whenever I think up some worthwhile shit to share with the world. My goals, as far as this blog, are simply to untie the local track bike scene and make it all that it can be. <br />Unlike my residentially-challenged co-poster Charlie, I'm rarely outside the Buffalo area, so I'm usually down to ride with anyone. Last night, Mr. Reinagel and I discussed possibly organizing a Wednesday night ride around the city, with the singular goal of having a good time. <br />We'll see what comes in the future, though. For now, I just wanted to introduce myself. <br /> Expect to hear more in the near future!<br /><br /><br />-EricDelicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-28757091172715930952010-07-28T21:37:00.000-07:002010-07-28T21:47:35.555-07:00YNOTCYCLEThis is a great company from Toronto that everyone should be keeping an eye on.

As of right now the meeting spot is going to be the huge blue building on the corner of Hertal and Elmwood. Right next to Video Liquidators. I can't promise the BBQ part for next week. Someone make it happen! I will hopefully be there around 7pm. There are lights so we can stay late!<br /><br />I hope to see everyone getting out and getting involved this week!<br /><br />-CharlieDelicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-67147906298325363832009-04-15T20:00:00.000-07:002009-04-15T20:09:27.837-07:00Petal Pedal Alleycat<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/charliereinagel/3446662400/" title="MAY 1 by Charlie Reinagel, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3349/3446662400_16474e063c.jpg" width="500" height="324" alt="MAY 1" /></a>Delicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-83364972573697813992009-04-09T10:48:00.000-07:002009-04-09T10:57:35.177-07:00Filming and Petal Pedal Alley Cat NewsFinally going to start to upload and put up some clips from last year that Bill filmed.

Meet down at city hall. This is going to be a really fun one so I suggest everyone that can make it come out and have a blast either riding your hardest or just cruising with friends. There will be prizes from Campus Wheelworks for 1st, 2nd, 1st girl and so on. <br /><br />After the race there will be a showing of Mash Sf at Soundlab that starts at 9:45. There will be tables for a few shops such as Campus and Buffalo Blue Bikes. Also Val from Campus is going to have top tube pads and other things at the table for people to look at and hopefully buy. <br /><br />BUT thats not all after the film there will be a dance party at Soundlab as well. <br /><br />Cost $6 to race w/ free admission to Mash Sf and Spiral Pitch. $6 at door for everyone that didn't participate in the race. If you run a checkpoint you are covered and able to get in free. <br /><br />Hope everyone comes out and has a great time!</span>Delicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-10995456410115011262009-03-12T19:23:00.000-07:002009-03-12T19:25:18.453-07:00Bison Cycling ForumHey everyone, Mike D and I are starting up a buffalo biking blog.

The site cost a bit of money and we were hoping that some of you could help us out with a couple of dollars just to get us back to slightly below even. The forum is going to be free to everyone and promote things such as trades and selling of bike parts, local events ( bike and non bike related), general bike talk, and tons of other things. The site should be up this week and you can join easily by signing up once the interface is done.<br /><br />Thanks a lot everyone!<br />Charlie<br /><br />Oh you can get a hold of me by email or by calling me 716-435-6116<br /><br />Here are a few examples of what the site is going to look like!<br />www.phillyfixed.com<br />www.flfixed.comDelicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-91228960092163259412009-03-02T20:23:00.000-08:002009-03-02T20:49:09.831-08:00Finally Up.So I talked about posting pictures about a week ago and now finally I am able to get onto the internet and get them up.

Looking forward to those kind of days here in Buffalo. Winter has been pretty rough and these past two days have been absolutely freezing.

Much help is needed and appreciated at Buffalo Blue Bikes. If you haven't swung by yet I highly suggest you make it over there. Always a fun and inviting environment. If you don't know how to do something just ask and you will get the help you need almost immediately. So come on down on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 1 pm.<br /><br />Help create these finished projects!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/charliereinagel/3321567974/" title="blue-bike-ring-buffalo-ny by Charlie Reinagel, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3321567974_cd8870ef1e_o.jpg" width="590" height="443" alt="blue-bike-ring-buffalo-ny" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/charliereinagel/3321568050/" title="14441 by Charlie Reinagel, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3590/3321568050_00ea74e466_o.jpg" width="500" height="227" alt="14441" /></a><br /><br />-CharlieDelicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-52921395044381366342009-02-18T23:28:00.000-08:002009-02-18T23:45:27.640-08:00Clearing Things UpI want everyone to know that DF is a collective project that anyone in the Buffalo area can be a major part of. I welcome everyone's thoughts and ideas. I want peoples help with this. <br /><br />For instance since this Bike Tag idea formed Mike has been a great deal of help and tons of fun to be around. We have a lot in the works and could use some help. So if you want to get involved get a hold of me! <br /><br />Also I've run into Benji a lot lately and his Capture the Flag on bikes idea has sparked yet another fun game that is being worked on right now. Another main contributor to this idea was Jess Mills.<br /><br />Buffalo Blue Bikes (http://www.buffalobluebicycle.org/) is a great place to hang out and learn about bikes and keep up to date on the Buffalo bike culture. <br />Blue Bicycle Workshop<br />Open Shop<br />Date: Tuesdays<br />Time: 7:30pm-?<br />Where: 98 Colvin Ave<br />Date: Thursdays<br />Time: 7:30pm-?<br />Date: Sundays<br />Time: 1:00pm-?<br /><br />A few things I need help organizing:<br />-Name change of blog<br />-Designing and printing shirts<br />-Capture the Flag<br />-Weekly Food/Hangout ride <br />-Movie screenings of bike films<br />-Races<br />-Designing new spoke card for Bike Tag<br />-And many more things to come in the near future<br />-Oh of course all of your ideas too!<br /><br />I know it may not be the most exciting or comfortable thing to do in this weather, BUT<br />Get out show the city some love and get involved! <br /><br />-CharlieDelicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-3168018052820288022009-02-18T23:18:00.001-08:002009-02-18T23:45:55.221-08:00It's Official!Bike Tag is a hit! The cards are almost all gone and out in Buffalo waiting to be accompanied by the dreaded red spoke cards. I tagged two people today and got the game rolling. Also the facebook event that I started now has 64 members eager to get involved. Some have cards and some speak of wanting this game spread to their cities. As of right now my buddy Matt in Philly is getting a group of people to start it up sometime next week. This is all so exciting not only for me, but also for everyone else involved. Anyone that wasn't able to get a card head to Campus Wheelworks (http://campuswheelworks.com/) as soon as possible to pick one up there are only a few left there. Mike D. and I will be making up more spoke cards next week that have the rules on the back and then shoving them in everyone and anyone's spokes. <br /><br />The first two people tagged were:<br />Emily C and Benji<br /><br />Hopefully we can keep track of who gets tagged and keep some sort of score sheet type idea. For now I will be keeping track of the its and eventually have a link up to a page that lists everyone. <br /><br />Goodluck out there!<br /><br />I still haven't been able to get these photos I edited the other day up here because I don't have a card reader. Soon..<br /><br />-CharlieDelicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266501212498855841.post-24078098263996738662009-02-16T16:40:00.001-08:002009-02-16T17:01:34.719-08:00Bummer..So I was going to post a bunch of old photos that I got around to editing last night while eating delicious roasted marshmallows dipped in fondue chocolate, but I just realized I no longer have a card reader because the Fedexkinkos employee that printed out the Bike tag spoke cards for me neglected to return my card and the reader I supplied with it. A little upset at my own loss, but I am so happy that people really like the bike tag idea. I have handed out around 30 cards now. They all don't have owners, but will in the next couple of days. I think about 13 people are riding with the green game cards now. Tomorrow I am going to tag someone and get this game out of my hands and into the participants. Again if you tag someone it would be really nice to give them a small prize. Such as a piece of candy, a dollar bill, etc. I will have the photos up tomorrow hopefully. <br /><br />Also we are working on a short trailer for the March All City race. It should be up in the next week or so. Keep an eye out!<br /><br />Word on the street is: <br />Bike Polo starts this Saturday. I'll have more info up when I know a bit more.<br /><br />Ps. Don't be afraid to get a hold of me and help out. The more help the better and the more people involved the better. Tell all of your friends. <br /><br />Watch your back..,<br />CharlieDelicious Fixicious!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06534449721234888404noreply@blogger.com0
