🚲✨Bike Messenger appreciation…

This past visit to New York, I stopped to check out a memorial photo exhibit of the Fast Eddie Archives. I believe my friend Tak helped to organize this with @ridebrooklyn

I caught on late to bike messenger culture. Since I’ve been riding a bicycle in my 40’s, I’ve learned a lot more. There’s no doubt they’ve contributed a ton to street fashion in NYC. And more!!

Thank you for the experience and great conversations!!

Rest in Peace Fast Eddie.

Stay Alive’s first NYC alleycat? 😈 YES! + some random footage I shot of a couple races Ive attended over the past 14 years in NYC, London & Paris. Primarily with an iphone and a Gopro. Thats all you really need.

Throwback Alleycat Rules:
One manifest, One payphone, One Quarter, One package, One hour. If you’re seen using a cellphone, your DQ’d. How well do you know your city?

Bag, Lock, Quarter + $20 required to race.
Every racer gets a small gift from Stay Alive Studio for competing.

🤑Cash prize + Physical prizes

No Ai was used to design flyer or travel the world and make boatloads of new friends by just showing up and riding my track bike. It’s that simple.

It was so beautiful hosting such a special exhibition for my father, also known as Fast Eddie. He had documented bikers and their lifestyle, and the streets of NY in the late 80s through 2000s until his passing. Hosting such memorable moments like this feels like seeing my biker family in the living room we had grew up in. To create a space for lost art to still reach to new generations to the OGs is very enduring and I’m grateful for all that came out🙏🏽

I want to thank @ridebrooklyn for having us, @cyclehawk @tak_nyc for a precise curation, @drinksunboy for supporting and showing love to the community, @jenniejo100 for keeping the vibes up all night, @shigelushusha @ngg_ii for holding it down

Fast Eddie forever🚲✊🏽🖤 @fasteddiearchives
