The streets

An initiative is underway to have a pedestrian crosswalk installed at Pond Mills Rd. & Cleveland Ave., and an online petition has been created (click HERE). Please visit the website and give it your consideration.

Byron Hurt begins his exploration on hip hop culture and male masculinity by saying:

"I love Hip Hop…but I guess what I’m trying to do is just to get us men to take a hard look at ourselves."

I'm a creature of leisure just like the rest of you. If I'm not having fun, I won't do it. I don't bicycle in the rain, and I am certainly not an "exercise freak."  My radio is on the bike because that's where it belongs: it's fun to use and very useful while I am pedaling.  read more »

It is about time for another ROADKILL SERIES race. We're puttin' this out to everyone. We need yer input on the next race.

Some have suggested an 'urban track relay or time trial' -- ie. racing counter-clockwise in the SoHo ["South of Hortion"] area, around the VIC Tavern. Teams would be picked out of a 'hat' before the relay. Or, in the case of a time trial, racers would start staggered (30 seconds apart).

Others are wanting a get together in Queens Park [Old East Village] for a straight ahead 'match sprint' round robin -- ie. two racers go head to head down a straight distance. Top 4 sprinters after the round robin move onto the finals.  read more »

Hey all,

We are looking for a few more people to work checkpoints for the June 4th Alleycat Race.

It entails hanging out at one of our checkpoints for the duration of the race and joining us for the after party!

If anyone is interested, or for more info, please send me a message through the commons, or email roadkillcollective@gmail.com.

Thanks

-Rachel
