After a warm welcome on friendly territory, the new Bicycle Film Festival-only Empire teaser is beginning its trip around the world.
The entire program at the Bicycle Film Festival in Pittsburgh looks like a blast. And you can buy tickets online for the Friday program with Empire. So go!
Kai has been posting more to his Flickr lately. He just added one of that classic Colnago above. It’s from an old family friend, Ross Menuez. Ross worked with Kai’s dad as a courier in the 80’s. Now Ross runs Salvor, and brought the bike back to life for baby duty.
Friend of Empire and messenger Lincoln Wettenhall was killing it early Saturday morning. He won last time he raced. I haven’t heard how he did this weekend, but he sure looks pretty relaxed compared to the rest of those guys.
In the break
Empire rider Dan C. made an appearance in the pro-1/2/3 race.
ripped!
And local celebrity Hal from Bicycle Habitat was there as well. Not too bad for Saturday before 9AM.

I’m taking a little break from filming this summer to ride across the U. S. of A. So far so good, besides the average 85 mile days we have had. Yesterday riding from Philly to Baltimore was brutal because of all the rolling hills. I managed to get through it all, and down one hill i hit 44.6mph, which i thought was insane. When i told a couple of my fellow riders they all had the same question, “I wonder what your rpm was?”. We calculated it and it turned out that at one point it was 205RPM!
