Premium Rush September Cruiser Ride!

Last week 4 crusiers gathered to watch the amazing movie that is "Premium Rush." This month's cruiser ride is inspired by that movie and by misunderstood bike messengers all over the world. Haven't seen it? Don't worry here's the story direct from the website (http://www.premiumrush.com/site/): Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day - a routine "premium rush" run - turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. Meet Tuesday Sept 18, 2012 at 8:30pm at Lamont Park in Mt Pleasant! PBRs to follow in Mt. Pleasant.
