oakland bicycle film festival 2009

yesterday was a big day.
the first time the bicycle film festival came to oakland and alameda!
yay for the east bay!

anyways it was to be a badass alleycat race
and badass bike polo tournament at san antonio park in east oakland.
and then a 6 mile group ride to alameda for the films.

events and venues not for the faint of heart.
the race was a bit of a hunt at unmanned checkpoints and a delivery.
the courts were old and worn, covered in leaves and super treacherous.
the group ride from east oakland to alameda was like a bicycle sideshow;
it helped that we had 15 scraper bikes scraping with us. dope.

badass alleycat
the racers at the start.

polo
team janky. oakland!
