Big thanks to Lincoln High School and ESLI for inviting Rock The Bike to two days of environmental assemblies and education. Above, Youth Speaks' Brian rocks the mike as Lincoln High athletes power the audio gear (and answer questions while they're at it.)

Below, riding to the event early in the morning, hauling the massive JBL PRX 535 speaker. It happened to be Bike To Work Day.

If you're an old school SF Cruiser, you'll probably dig this mix

Folks who were on our cruiser rides back in 2002-2005 will appreciate this new mix: "Old School Minidisc SF Cruiser Music" 

I left a lot of this music behind when I changed from using good ol' Minidiscs to an iPod. My sister recently lent me her Minidisc player so I could listen anew. I threw all the good songs into Ableton Live and created an hourlong mix from them. Hope you like it!

Thanks Central Park! Rock The Bike NYC is alive and kicking.
