Gotta show some love to Angelo over on the East Coast! I've been 'following' his tumblr for awhile now, and I have to say that it's in my top three 'original content' cycle blogs out there. Check out CYCLEANGELO CYCLEANGELO started in late 2009 for documenting my new-found passion for bikes and the culture surrounding it. Combine that with my love of photography and there you have it — a personal blog about re-discovering New York City on two wheels, and snapping photos along the way.

Jeff (Wolfgang) Schmidt has it all! He's intelligent, hardworking, he's got a sweet stache, his own DVD, killer boots, and a badass Difisso to match. What I love about Jeff is his love/hate relationship with fixed gear bikes. Majority of the time, he'll blog his frustrations about a n00b on youtube on how to barspin a 650c HED3, but you can also find him riding his Difisso at least 50 miles a day before the crack of dawn. You can find him over at City Grounds Costa Mesa! Make sure you check out his blog Council of Doom Frame: Difisso...
