Wanted: Eccentric Billionare Philanthropist to send the Nightshades to London so we can participate in the Great Fashion Cycle, looking fantastic and raising funds and awareness for ethical cotton production. (Did you know that schools shut down in Uzbekistan so that kids as young as seven can participate in the cotton harvest? I know. Gross. No more chinatown t-shirts for me, thanks...)

ICYCLE my BICYCLE
on saturday at dufferin grove park, many gathered to celebrate their canadian heritage with their bicycles on ice. yep. ICE RINK RACES. so amazing. all sorts of cyclists came out to test the strength of their physical constitution. here are some pictures for you.
check out this bike.
..upon closer investigation, perhaps you will notice the fucking spikes on the tires.
then i spotted a group of messengers and asked if i could take a picture of them. they almost stabbed me, and i wondered where the hell the rest of the nightshades were. luckily my cunning saved me, and i ran off with blurry, underexposed photos. so here is only one picture.
bikes on ice = genius. [probably]
.. i don't know who the man on the left is, but the one with the cowboy hat responded to "toast" and became my hero for the night.
bikes rock. fin.

Bike Gang Instruction Manual: Lesson #331 - Staying Fit
If you are going to start a bike gang, there is one thing that you must do and that is stay fit. It is very important. Not only for gang morale and physical attractiveness, but also for better biking and other gang related purposes. Staying fit requires hard work, discipline and proper nutrition. REMEMBER: It is entirely possible that tribute bike gangs could pop up out of nowhere and you will have no choice but to challenge them to a beer drinking competition. And we all know that muscles absorb alcohol better than fat does, I know you know that - so start pumping iron NOW.
The Deadly Nightshades always stay fit. Notice Namtron's excellent form here as she works on her quadriceps. Keep your head up while you work this muscle.
Don't forget - it is also important to have a gym buddy. This will motivate you to go to the gym more often and keep you from becoming stale in your routine. Switch it up sometimes and try squats instead of deadlifts!!!

Bicycle Opera...
I don't even know if this is for real or not, but these guys claim they have written and produced the worlds first bicycle opera. I can't even handle how amazing this is...
From their site:
"Le Cyc is the story of a surreal bike-powered world where sweeping themes of power imbalances and popular revolution collide with carnivalesque images of dictators whose smart-talking parrots perch on impossibly long moustaches."
