Let's Talk About Bikes
Saturday June 12th is the opening reception for Let’s Talk About Bikes at BSA Space, 290 Congress Street, Boston! Be sure to check out this great event, and also fill out a submission about why you ride in Boston!
Knog has been a HUGE help to us so far this season, we have a bunch of front and rear lights to loan out to folks on race night. Gekkos, Beetles, and more! Those lights are SUPER bright, and have been helping keep our racers safe!
We’ll have some more goodies for folks this week from Cambridge Bicycle!
Go visit them over on Mass Ave! Support your local bike shop!! I think they are having some pretty rad closeout sales going on right now…check it out!
Bring your cameras on Thursday! Send us your best shot, and we’ll feature you for the Black Falcon Photo of the Week! Submit via tumblr, facebook, or twitter and be sure to tag #BlackFalconCrit

Black Falcon Wrap Up!
Wow, what a night down at the Falcon! Another amazing turnout, with some old faces and some new, it was great to see you all out there! We had a few teams coming out in force last night including Stampede!, Green Line Velo, B2C2/Boloco and Bicycle Bills. Some fast kids in attendance as well, I definitely saw some Cat 2 and 3 riders in the field last night! We also had some RAD attendance numbers from the fixed gear folks and the ladies!!! So excited to see all of you out there racing!!! In the coming weeks, expect to see things formatted a little differently, with some separate, staggered starts for each field! Exciting to see that things are growing early on in the season!
