CHILLIN LIKE A VILLAIN

Bike: Chrome BMX "Villain"
Location: Lygon St, Carlton
Owner: Is mean

This bike has been chained to this bus timetable sign for like almost a week now.
Have you no respect Mr Owner? Or did you leave it there when you realised that you couldn't ride home, and now you can't remember where it is?

It's Autumn in Melbourne. Note the build up of leaves in the spokes. I might have to rescue this pup by way of bolt cutters if its still there next week. I can practically hear it weeping.

PARIS HILTON

Bike: Paris Hilton
Location: Smith St, Collingwood
Owner: Benny


Benny is a rad dude. I'm not just saying that out of obligation becuase he's married one of my friends - Kate, either.

Benny runs Dirty Distribution. If you don't know what this is you better check yourself, fool.
Once done checking yo'self, check this out.

Like Benny's ride, Paris Hilton is all class

W10 ACCESSORY REPORT

Helmet: ATOM
Location: Coles New World, Prahran

White, hell it goes with everything.
Complete with rear lighting, this helmet is a must for any street savvy rider. Or rightly so, an old man.
Hello what is that? A detachable foam visor?


Storage Component: Plastic Toy Tub
Location: Crn Dandenong & Chapel, St Kilda East

I have lightly touched on the use of household items to jazz up the most minimal of rides. Take this inventive owner, not content with the common milk crate.

This is practical for vinyl, soft toys or transporting a slab.

SANTA'S SACK

Bike: Saint Nick

Owner: Email YO

Tell ya mates!

Rest of the specs:

Sick to the power of rad

RADDEST BMX EVER?

Bike: Tri-colour Chrome BMX Hotness
Location: Chapel St Windsor
Owner: Pete

Pete and I live in the same neighborhood. I have seen him a few times on this sweet ride.
Last time I saw him he was crossing Dandenong road and we each checked each others bikes and gave a head nod as if to give an unstated sign of mutual respect. I love a guy that has a mutual love of the Tuff.

So when I saw him parked at Mothers Milk one night, I did a quick Uturn and was lucky enough to meet Pete and take these snaps.

Wow this bike blew my mind.

Nice one Pete!

BIG RED

Bike: Big Red

Location: Carlton

Owner: TBC: Email us if this is you, FOOL!

So I don’t know why but a high percentage of guys that I have dated have really been into Big Red gum.
It’s an American thing. But I have only been out with one yank. The rest just loved hot cinnamon gum that tastes like ass.
I don’t get it.

Hey at least they had fine taste in woman.

On the flip how Rad are these kicks by Rodney Jackson:
