Fuck Gas

Friday, February 20th

Gather/Ride: 8pm

On Your Left Cycles (618 Baxter Avenue)

As always, we’re just looking for a good time. Even if you’ve never played bike polo before, this would be a hell of a time to start. Good times and good people - we don’t really know what the hell we’re doing either.

Feel free to just join in for the ride if you like, tag along to polo and act as a spectator or jump in on a game. It’s all for fun and the love of bikes. All bikes and all riders are encouraged to attend.

Ride leaves from On Your Left Cycles and ends at the Louisville Bicycle Polo Society indoor arena at 416 W. Chestnut…

Get there early for freebies from Fuck Gas and Urban Velo

Yep - as I type this, it is 1 below zero in Louisville and even though we’re looking at a forecast of 13 degrees, it’s still on. While that other bike club in the city is canceling every ride they had scheduled over the last couple days, Fuck Gas stands strong. In all it’s glory, the Fuck Gas “We Don’t Give a Shit How Cold it is” Penguin Waddle will go down as planned. Meet up at On Your Left (618 Baxter Avenue) at 8pm to ride shortly after. Once back to the shop we’ll have free coffee and beer as well as screening of the Mash SF video.

Winter sucks - cold ass temperatures, grey skies and short days don’t exactly scream bike ride but what the hell do we care - we ride at night anyway and we own gloves and balaclavas! Come warm yourself up at On Your Left Cycles January 16th at 8pm for the Fuck Gas “We Don’t Give a Shit How Cold it is… Penguin Waddle.” We know you don’t want to be out there freezing your ass off for too long so seeing that January is the coldest month of the year on average here in Louisville, we’re making this one short.

Join us for an 8 mile loop starting and ending at On Your Left Cycles at 618 Baxter Avenue. You’ll also be able to enjoy some free hot coffee or even a cold beer - don’t be scared to bring your own though as the beer won’t last long. Finally, we’ll end the night with more freebies - a showing of the Mash SF video.

Support comes from Lattitude Zine, Shitluck Clothing, Liberty Tattoo & Art Parlor, On Your Left Cycles, Urban Velo.

Saturday, December 20, 7pm

You can properly refer to this one as a Magnolia Meander. As we are making custom, we’ll have a grilling/potluck style start at On Your Left Cycles. This to make sure everyone has a warm place to meet up, listen to music, check out the latest from our newest addition to the family, Urban Velo and enjoy the company of your fellow riders as well as some food and drink.

Once we’re on the road, we’ll head down Baxter to Bardstown Road and onto Easteren Parkway. Make a run around the backside of Cherokee Park - avoiding the big hills this time, and out to Lexington Road. From there we’ll follow the Beargrass Creek bike trail and Louisville Bike Route through Butchertown and into downtown Louisville. Turning down 3rd Street at the river we’ll make our way into Old Louisville, have a quick lap of Central Park and end the ride at the Mag Bar. Another 10.3 miles of meandering fun brought to you by Fuck Gas, Lattitude Zine, Shitluck, Liberty Tattoo & Art Parlor, On Your Left Cycles & Urban Velo.

Looks like any rain we may get should be out of town by this afternoon and then we’re good for the weekend. It is supposed to be a bit cold tomorrow night so grab your coat and some gloves and don’t be scared to show up for the River Ramble (On Your Left Cycles - 618 Baxter). Remember there’s generally more than enough grillables so if you would like to bring a sort of side item… chips, salsa, beans, beer… nobody is going to complain and I bet you make a bunch of friends. See you there!

The River Ramble goes down this Saturday - November 8 beginning at 7p.m. with the grill and potluck at On Your Left Cycyles (618 Baxter Ave). From there it’s through the city and along the river walk out to Shawnee Park and back. It’s going to be dark out there kids so bring a light.

If you have any ideas regarding ride destinations, check points or starts send them in.

As always - riders on all types of bikes are encouraged to attend. We don’t care about the size of your wheels, how many gears you have or how fast you pedal.

When we say ramble we mean ride - fuck walking!

Here we go again…

The River Ramble will once again start from On Your Left Cycles (616 Baxter Ave) and proceed through downtown and onto the River Walk all the way out to Shawnee Park. If you thought Cherokee was dark, you ain’t seen nothin! …literally. Bring lights, maybe a helmet and definitely some food for your fellow riders - we’re all in this together!

Date: November 8, 2008

Grill & potluck: 7pm

Ride: 8ish

As always, all bikes are welcome regardless of wheel size and gear count
