This is not so much a typical bike check but a look at an interesting bike setup employed by Leland Nightingale to get to and from the skatepark. The trouble when the nearest or best skatepark is a great distance away from your home is the pain it is to ride all the way there on your BMX bike, which many people will agree is not a very efficient bike to travel long distances. Not everyone has a car to get around, and for those that do, the current price of gas might have you rethinking that afternoon session. Leland decided to mount his BMX to the back of his touring bike as an ingenious solution to this problem and I asked him some questions about it. Click below to read what he had to say and a few more photos of his setup.

“Hey hey hey peoples !!! Mad Monday soo here’s the scoop. This ones about my homie who will remain nameless so that we stay friends. K soo having some wobble pops wit the boys on sat. Homie brings up the fact that he wants to bang this chic out. Soo I hate this girl, honestly she sucks, most self absorbed person I ever met. Every topic anyone brings up , she somehow turns the story into something about herself (ur not that interesting , you dress bad, and I bet ur box smells like formaldehyde). Ok soo homie invites the girl n her friend over n some dudes to have dinner n drinks b4 the bar. Chic is all over him , eating up his food, drinking up his Boose n smoking his Cron. Oh yeah soo is the friend.
Bout two hrs go by she’s kissing him hugging blah blah, soo he’s in. We decide on our wobble pops destination, as we are getting ready to go…………. cunt face chic dips leaving my homie after he wined n dined her, homie’s upset.
So as life goes on we all get burned by broads from time to time. It just sucks when the broad is below ur caliber. Mad monday, Duck em n don’t ever trust em.”

I always keep this shitty semi fisheye film camera in my backpack for random shots here and there. Usually it takes a few months to go through a whole roll of film and I like it that way. One of the beauty’s of film for me is forgetting about the photos you shoot until you get them developed. Here’s the most recent roll that was likely shot over the last 4-6 months. There aren’t many riding pictures in here, but these pictures bring back alot of good times, which to me is the biggest part of riding bikes.
