The Big Apple

I'm off to NYC next month, The Sonics are playing at Cavestomp (woot!)...
I'll be stopping off at Trackstar, King Kog and Bike Works, are there any other bike shops I should be checking out?
Need to find a cheap double room too ($100 a night), any ideas/recommendations?
Hope the Aerospoke fits in my case... :D

The fucking Sonics?!!! You lucky lucky baaaaaaaaaaaaaastard! I hate you!

I hope you're taking your bike?

I was there this summer with wheels and it was awesome.

Nicholas The fucking Sonics?!!! You lucky lucky baaaaaaaaaaaaaastard! I hate you!

First time they've played together since the 60s... Seems like the only feckin' shows I go to now are bloody 'reunions'... *VERY *hit and miss...
Buy a ticket man, Virgin are doin' flights for only £240!!!

Virgin will take your bike for free if it's in a bag. That's how I got mine over :-)

My gf would effin' KILL me!!!
It'll be her first time in NY, so lots of sightseeing on the itinerary... Mainly handbag shops I imagine... Hahaha!

Hmmm... If she took my BMX she couldn't really complain, could she? ;-)

If she rides and you take two bikes, you're quids in.

BUT, I don't want to cause marital disharmony.

All I'm saying is that Manhattan is SOOOOOOOOo much better by bike.

I can go for €240 from here in Dublin! Jesus christ I'm very tempted... but I can't imagine how disappointed I'd be if they didn't live up to my very very very high expectations..

€240!?!?! Who with????

Aer Lingus. I think there are a few secret fares.. an extra €147 or so. Still quite a good price though.

And shoes. Where there's handbag shopping, there's shoe shopping.

We'll be there for 6 nights, 31st Oct-6th Nov... That might work out really well, tho' I've already put out some feelers with my Brooklyn homies so may not need it after all...
