I realize alohafixed is not the most up-to-date fixie blog, or any of that. Mostly all this is just our crew. this is who we are, what we do, and where we stey. I hope expectations arent too high and that people enjoy being able to pry in on our lifes by a few clicks of a button. I'd also like to add since i rarely do, that im very grateful to everyone that hangs out, rides, drinks, or anythings with us. You guys all rule and it makes my life so much more fun.-ryan
Below pics are stolen form matts post in the message board. sorry matt.

Hes like old navy and salvation army....
A Obama Rally Ara is setting up.

Another day in paradise and alot more biking. Let's take a look at whats been going down shall we?
At work (LEILOW HAWAII) (www.leilow.com) Christian Cook stopped by on his new bike. I bought this frame in SF and biked from the panhandle to 31st in the Aves for it, however i only wanted the cranks on it so i sold it to Dj.Captain Cook.
Here's the Dj himself and my partner in crime Pueo.
AF spokecard form the last Aloha Sunday courtesy of Wrays wreckage.
Posing with our only means of defense in Leilow.
Later Caman stopped in, but he hates being in pics so i flicked his bike. black T19 parts.
Crazy Miche pedals.
In the shop my boss, DJ Jules, brings in alot of vintage stuff. Heres his old friend Keith Harrings shirt.
Dope.
In Hawaii cops have nothing better to do than give out 130 dollar Jwalking tickets. LAME!
Bryant from Kicks/HI bought himself a fixie to ride around on.
Some new camel i smoked and nearly killed me. The 'CRUSH'. you crush the filter and it makes it turn into a menthol. AKA switch into 'killmode' and kills you.
I ate shit bombing a hill after hitting a grate popping my tube and flipping onto the gravel. this is an irratating spot to have a cut.
Yuki from the NYC shop (Chari and CO) stopped in (www.chariandconyc.com)
I got one of their new colaboration saddles off Yuki.
Chari&co X Kashimax.
Also Kazuki from Medicom Japan and their fixie crew The Ghettos, came into Leilow also. What up Ghettos!
Then today i went into Kailua and biked with the Windward crew. Gary gets gully.
These guys been making their own ghettorig 650 wheels to barspin.
And theyve been learning lots of tricks.
Easy changing.
New one for Gary
And stu shows what hes been learning. X-up.
Barspin.
And Dick who just got a bike a month ago already leg over skids.
Lots of love and happy riding!-Lyan RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAU!

Hey, guess whats going down on Sunday the 28th? Well for one is the Century ride in Hawaii, but for those who arent into those things or cant afford it, or have the energy to ride both. We have Aloha Sunday!!! We asked some of our friends to help out and kick in some prizes for the winners. Big thanks to Jules @ Leilow Hawaii, Chris Kam @ Kicks/HI, and Brian @ HKFixed. (which btw is my favorite bike happenings blog). Come out, drink, kick ass, skull fuck, and ride bikes!!!-ryan

So homie Tarrin from the Bike Factory went on a biking trip to Portland. Only prolem is he tore his acl before and had to have surgury.
Shitty stuff I've torn mine before so i can feel his pain. Esp, when you get to go look at all these parks and watch people ride it while you watch. But he put in his work on the sticker game. Big ups Tarrin, and fast recovery.
