Last Thursday at Peel Sessions brought around the monthly sprint series, Midnight Keirin. Chris Kim throws this event to satisfy the bragging rights of the track bike kids in NYC. It’s usually under the BQE overpass where the Peel Spot is and involves a quick sprint and a sharp turn around a column. This week Chris took it to the streets; three laps around that course. All the typical heads showed up and a few groms as well.

You all met Kai last week. Well, two days after his intro, he took 1st place at the Midnight Keirin race. Way to go Kai!

And yeah, we have a blog now. We’ll be adding more rider profiles over the next couple of weeks and new riders in the coming months all of whom will be writing here when they get the itch. Or I harass them enough.
