Creative Disruption

The fall brings us an opportunity for transition into a more introspective space - a time for renewal. It is a symbolic time of year when we get to reflect on where we are in life, where we want to go, and how we want to get there. Often times, solo rides can be a conduit for this renewal - one pedal stroke at a time. The urge to go fast is replaced by the desire to just be.

Scouting is one of the more enjoyable aspects of a gig that mostly involves being on a computer. Seeing places in person you’ve read about and even written about is quite rewarding. thanks to and for the companionship and tomfoolery.

For the Marginal Gains Podcast, I got to enjoy a conversation with host Michael Hotten about vision, instinct, survival, the birth of the BWR, the future of American racing... and if you’re looking to do a Belgian Waffle Ride, there are some tips in here for you, too. You will also find out how to outride the Law… link in bio.

This time of year doesn’t disappoint with its golden light and watercolor evening skies.

Cruising around Downtown LFK I was able to find some interesting art and elements of the city that I find to be rather interesting. Can’t wait for the Unroad Expo and BWR this weekend. The course is insane.

More from the nyc art walk. This from Bushwick. In art, smoking initially symbolised death, but came later to symbolise modernity, youth and nervous excitement. In literature, smoking is often used to evoke individuality and eccentricity, as is the case with Sherlock Holmes. It didn’t take a PI to find this not so hidden gem.

The NYC art walk continues as I wander back and forth between Columbia and NYU. I most appreciate the breaking from traditional practices and the hybrid of many styles, scale and spray paint.

Street art thrives in NYC, ironically as a sanctioned activity sponsored by business owners, community groups and even developers. But for some, it’s still imbued with the same panache and attitude that made it so compelling back in the day. That was then, this is then.

The path to enlightenment can involve a water crossing.
