Check out Brettski on the radio! 

Paddy does an awesome job at presenting this weeks BikeLove.

The segment also features some cameo parts from Smokin' Joe, Paragon, Pete and Doddsy...

I think everyone I know is guilty of at least one of these ... of course, most of them are only inexplicable for civilian fixie riders (which is me at the moment!)

 So we've had Sydbma.org for a while now and after the worlds and quite a few hackings things have kind of slowed a little to say the least.

Fortunately for us the Perth Massive were seeking a home for their forums so they joined in and things have been looking up ever since.

I think the National messenger community should all communicate online via the same website and the reality is that that sydbma.org as great as it has been is now a little outdated and was originally only designed for Sydney siders, so Yogi has  once again been slaving away and he presents us with. austbma.ning.com 

Austbma.ning.com is a kick ass site and was designed to accomodate everyone (nationally) so join up, log in and give it a try. When you join you get your own page. You can do whatever you want with it. This site has a great photo and video uploader, give it a try, test it out and we'll decide what to do this easter at the ACMC.

There was an update needed on the site. the following work was done
 

G'day everyone. Just giving you all a heads up that "Xsorbit " the Neinlives forum is having major technical issues, so for now and possibly ever the "National Forum" will be their online home until they decide what to do.. "Neinlives is about bicycles, about cycle courier culture , about riding hard, whether it’s fixed or free, speedy or sedentary, urban or country. It’s about bikes of all kinds and all the people that ride them. Set up by the cycle messenger community of Perth, Western Australia, it is about bringing some of what we love about riding bicycles and sharing it with a wider cycling community. Whatever you love about riding bicycles (the ultimate form of transport), whatever it is that pushes you to push down on that pedal, this is the place to share it."

What is KyotoLOCO ? KyotoLOCO is a celebration of our beautiful way of life. Our aim is to promote awareness of messenger work and culture. KyotoLOCO, a grass-roots event promoted by just eight messengers, is recognized as one of the most important messenger events next to CMWC, ECMC and NACCC. In 2005, 60 messengers from the USA and Europe, and more than 400 from other cities of Japan participated in the 2 days event....

Get excited about Bike Polo in Sydney! Contrary to N.W.A, you should believe the hype. Sydney Bike Polo Open! Sunday March 15! Registration from 12.30pm and closes at 1.15pm sharp. Fowler Playground This is the first event of its kind for Sydney. The Sydney Bike Polo Open is an open competition aimed at bike polo players of any skill level - even if its your first time playing. All bikes and riders encouraged to play! Mallets will be supplied and all the rules will be explained on the day. So you just need to rock up with yourself and your bike.
