Eric Corriel’s Red Hook Crit Art Installation

If you were at the Red Hook Crit last year, you’ll remember Eric Corriel‘s projected animation on a warehouse wall. This year he expanded upon the concept by projecting an his art on moving subjects as opposed to a static canvas; combining the rider’s movements and abstract elements to make a very unique and engaging installation. See how it all came together above and be sure to check out more of Eric’s work while you’re at it.

Red Hook Crit Recap

As mentioned in the last post, Hunt and I were down at the Red Hook Crit this past weekend. I still can’t get over how much fun the event was. Plus, the weather Saturday was amazing; warm, sunny and filled with fast bikes. It definitely cooled down once the sun set though. But, after living in Vermont for a while I’ve gotten used to packing extra layers along with a pair of gloves; so I was all set.

The main event was insane. The gates were lined with spectators, the course was technical and there some of the fastest riders racing. Neil Bezdek was slaying and ended up taking home the win, with Evan Murphy and Walton Brush following in second and third. Here’s the full list of Red Hook Crit results. Check out a bunch more narrated photos below.

Red Hook Crit This Weekend

Couldn’t be more excited for this weekend. Not only has work been absolutely insane lately, but it’s also been a few months since I’ve been to the city and I’ve been getting that itch. Later today, Hunt and I are cruising down to kick it with Josh and watch Red Hook Crit tomorrow. Who else is gonna be there? So far, I’ve seen only one racer from Burlington, VT on the lineup, so Dan Smith, make us proud! If you’d like to kick it (or just want some stickers), hit me up on Twitter at @CultureCycles or @klei_ber.

Stoked would be an understatement.

NAHBS 2013

Well, I finally made it out to Denver for the 2013 North American Handmade Bicycle Show and am beyond excited to get over to the convention center. After a bit if a travel fiasco yesterday, I eventually checked into my hotel around 2:45 last night – which for east coasters like myself, translates to 4:45 am. Good news: I packed some Girl Scout Cookies and was able to order a pizza from Mary Jane’s upon arrival (who happens to be open ’til 4:20 am FYI). If you’d like to meetup, get at me on twitter: @klei_ber or @culturecycles or feel free to shoot me an email: culturecycles@gmail.com.

Check back a little later for some 2013 NAHBS Day 1 photos.

Uberwintern: Fat Bike Group Ride in VT

Fat biking has really taken off over the last couple years. Shops haven’t been able to keep the bikes in stock and they’ve been sold out in QBP more than once this season; so no wonder someone’s finally thrown a group ride together. Mountain Bike Vermont along with the Trapp Family Lodge have teamed up to bring you Uberwintern: a fat bike group ride in Vermont’s little corner of Austria. The ride is on February 23 at 10:00 am and will run you $10. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it as I’ll be out in Denver at NAHBS. But, if this piqued your interest head on over to MTBVT and register.

SRAM’s pArt Project

Back on November 29th SRAM hosted the SRAM pArt project – an art show at the Cedar Lake Theatre in NYC in order to raise money for World Bicycle Relief. About 90 of these beautifully-constructed sculptures featuring SRAM parts were all donated by various artists for auction. I personally love the fish piece – see a few more below.
