Another Spring Weekend又一个春日周末

Gotcha!

– I’ve seen and heard about it ↑ many times but was never able to capture it.

Cool bike & cool bag ↓

永久C in the shop. ↑ Have been seen a lot of Cs lately.

Now, I have to address the issue that people has been mentioning to me: No, I don’t just take photos of white people on bikes. 1. Most Chinese people just simply don’t want me to take photos of them 🙁 (like this one ↑) There are actually quite a lot of cool Chinese people but they are very often unapproachable -it is a big loss for the world because they ARE as cool or even much more cooler with their Asian calmness. 2. I really haven’t seen many darker skinned people riding. If I have, they will be the first ones to get photographed and haunted by me. 😛

好几次看到、听到朋友提起这辆车。这次总算拍到你了!↑

酷车酷包↓

店里的永久C。最近看到骑这款的特别多!↑

鞋有意思 ↓

这也是个爱逛潮店的↑

你要是经常来看城市骑车人,就知道其实我当然不是只拍白人骑车。每次拍中国人他们不是摆手就是低头甚至严厉呵斥遮镜头。其实国内的潮人非常多,别假装了。再加上亚洲人的蛋定和深沉,不大方一点是世界的遗憾啊。其他色种的骑车人就更少了,要是看到我肯定会死命追击的。:P

Pre pre-race night ride supper: xiaolongbao again. ↓ I guess we riders just love dumplings.

Post pre-race night ride party @Shanghai Tattoo. ↓

Pre-race: There were just so many bikes and people, so the police had to request us to hide our bikes in the basement garage of Sinan Mansions. It was a pity that the city of Shanghai didn’t get to witness the bike carnival in such beautiful weather. But starting from underground had a cool street fight vibe going on and actually turned out to be pretty awesome.

Heaps and heaps of LOVE!

Leopard!

So we had to start in heats of 10 and leave every minute because of this many amazing people. Each person had the heat number and self number on both arms. When we get back the heat number gets deducted from the time.

Dress and heels! ↓

And then I started racing. So no more photos from me during the race. 🙁

My route was Kaiba-Specialized-South Bund Skate Park-Central studios-Cheers In- Egghead Bagels-Shanghai Tattoo-Yasmine’s Butchery-La Creperie-Boxing Cat-Factory 5. (I made a map) It was a pretty good route as I crossed Nan bei Gaojia in the south and there’s no traffic and I raced under the highway all along. But I fell from my bike at Central Studios (and got photographed). Luckily a gentleman from Central Studios offered me water so I hung there for 5 minuters, checked out my photo from the photographer and watched Nick P raced away. Unluckily I was carrying my fricking camera throughout the race (and you know it’s heavy!) and it turns out I broke the lens when I landed. Also when coming down from Egghead Bagels I totally forgot to turn to Tattoo and Airwalk so I had to go back from Yasmine’s. 🙁 The result was, I had to snatch the wristband from my bike mechanic , where my friend Jako (I posted his Bengal bike pics before) , also a fellow Airwalk rider, was taking photos. Their happy faces completely cheered me up.

The race had so much fun and good spirit all over it. I was greeted and cheered up by my friend Daniels (who won the overall champion)  riding from the other way when I got really tired; saw my housemate Simon riding the race on a flat tire (and still got 8th place!); greeted and cheered all the cool Chinese riders along the way; met 2 friends who were filming at La Creperie…

(Wow, I’ve never written this much on CityBikr before. You can tell what a good time I had. 🙂 )

赛前夜骑前,和中国骑手们吃晚饭,好几个都是远道而来。

又是小笼包!难道rider们都爱小笼包吗?哈哈

赛前夜骑完派对时刻 @Shanghai Tattoo. ↓

赛前: 因为车太占地方以及600多号人,被警察叔叔勒令转移到思南公馆地下停车场。很遗憾上海没有在如此美好的天气下见证这次单车嘉年华的机会。但其实从地下开始也有一种很酷的街头比赛调调。

成堆成堆的爱呀~ 我估摸赛前这里停的自行车总价值应该超过3百万。(不少一辆就上万的)

因为人太多,我们只能10人左右一拨按每分钟出发。组数和自己的编号写在手臂上,回来时候再把组数的时间减掉。

然后么,我就参加比赛了。天气非常晴朗,天蓝蓝的,但是很可惜我一心比赛,赛中没有拍照。等其他人的吧~

关于比赛过程我在英文版写了一段,可以点右上角小国旗切换。大概就是我扛着死重的相机,在奂镜摔了一跤。然后从Egghead Bagels南下时完全忘记两个签到点又从肉店骑回去,以及大家的精神是如何鼓舞。有空来好好写下中文的。

每个签到点一个腕带:

When we were on the ferry, the lights on the skyscrapers were switched off at 8:30 sharp.

Can’t see the needle (Pearl Tower) now! ↓

If you’ve been visiting CityBikr often, you would probably noticed Scott and his bike ↓ couple of times before:1, 2

Kasia 和她的车 ↑

刚上黄浦江摆渡船,正好8:30,陆家嘴大部分高楼都熄掉了外部景观灯。
