Feiyue Bike
Feiyue, a Sino-French (that means Chinese-French, you peons) sneaker brand have put together a few nice fixed-gear bikes to showcase their brand. Why? Because they love bikes! Hey, who doesn't? Did you hear you can buy fixed-gear bikes at Urban Outfitters now? It's the scandal of the century. Anyway, maybe I'm being cynical, but I think the people at Feiyue just wanted to get their brand some cheap attention. It worked, I suppose. I mean, I'd certainly never heard of them before, but now they've put their sticker on a few top tubes, damn, I'm all over their stuff!

42Below Goldsprints
To celebrate the arrival in Chicago of the 42 cyclists that are currently riding the US from coast-to-coast, 42Below is hosting a massive sprints party in Moonshine, 1824 W. Division, on Wednesday, July 8th. Check out all the details of the 42Ride here.
Oh, and, the sprints at Moonshine will be run by the excellent crew behind the OpenSprints system, so a good time is guaranteed.
FIAC Women's Six Day National Championships

Le Tour
Starts on Saturday! Who's going to win? My money's on Contador. He'll put time into his GC rivals in the TTs and defend his lead in the mountains. The absence of race radios on a couple of the flat stages should make for some interesting breakaways, and, of course, Lance is back. Can't wait!
If anyone is interested, I set up a group over on the Versus Tour de France fantasy league. Register, pick your team, and join the Hipster Nascar group. Password: track. Besides the prizes Versus is giving the overall winners of its competition, I might offer a small prize to whoever wins the Hipster Nascar group.

Chicago Couriers Union BBQ
Just got an email about this. The Chicago Couriers Union is putting on a fund-raising picnic for the Ryan Boudreau Memorial Fund tomorrow, July 3rd, in historic Union Park. Everyone, including non-messengers, is welcome. There will be food, drinks, kickball and mini-bike races. I know I say this all the time, but if you're in Chicago you should definitely go to this, because the grand prize for the mini-bike races is $200 worth of tattoo work! Plus, you'll be showing solidarity with a hard working union. Head over to Union Park tomorrow at 5pm.
Tour De Water Tower
I know I've said this before, but damn, there are always a lot of bike events happening in Seattle. Tour de Water Tower Guerilla Time Trial - July 12th - Seattle, WA - Details here.
Team Pegasus on Urban Velo
Sean from Team Pegasus (and the star of Tracko's old splash page, riding a bowl on his disk wheeled Concept for a laugh) appears on the Urban Velo page right now, killing it up at the track. Brad was in town covering the Team Beer'd Ghetto Cross race, and found the time to head up to Northbrook and take some photos of the action. Check it out here.
Fixed & Free Party
Party on the 4th of July celebrating the first year anniversary of the Fixed & Free bike shop in Albuquerque, NM. There'll be beer, a bike rodeo, live music, a bbq, beer, and the Albuquerque premier of Bootleg Sessions 3. Details here.
