King of Kalihi by Mike Orbito

Video by Mike Orbito
Words really cannot describe how I feel about the kids of Kalihi — to be included as part of their ohana, and to feel some kind of validation that simply being a human being for 35 years on this Earth is enough to contribute to the future — simply by giving part of myself. And even though I am leaving as Program Coordinator, the kids have given me something that I will cherish forever: the hope that there is hope. I would like to thank Mike Orbito for this amazing video that will stand as a testament to the kids of Kalihi — forever.

Kurry Gnows Bicycles

Kurry's bike rack technique


Fellow cyclist and local celebrity Kurryballs demonstrates her bike rack riding prowess. Kurry, who is still relatively new to this fantastic activity, has been a vehement supporter of bicycle racks and pedestrian issues, and is an active advocate for educating drivers on road etiquette and how to coexist with cyclists, should they encounter them near a bicycle rack. We thank Kurry for her continued support of the cycling rack community, and we are completely thrilled that she loves riding her bike rack so much.

Photos by Ryan Lau


Our homie at Aloha Fixed, Ryan Lau, shared these photos of his new ride. It's an Infamous trick track frame. Since he isn't running brakes on his trick bike and doesn't have to worry about pads lining up with the rims, he laced a set of track hubs to a pair of 26-inch Rhyno Lites so he could run fatter tires. He's got a set of 700c wheels on the back burner but for now he's enjoying the freedom of wide rubber and high sidewalls.

New Whip

Proud owner Rob Low

NYC homie Rob Low just sent in a pic of his new ride, a 24" Fit Bike Co. BMX bike. After removing all the stickers he posed for the camera. Happy camper, he is. We hope he doesn't hurt himself too bad in the quest for BMX street perfection.
