Kudos to Matt and Carl for the many hours put in behind the wheel.

These young ladies worked very hard at the Crique and did a great job.
They still found time to hang out with BCW and become some of the
newest members of the BCW Fan Club.
To become a member of the BCW Fan Club order yours today!

If you are in or near the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia this weekend be sure to stop by and check out our bikes. As part of Mt. Airy Day we will have on display two bicycles. One bike will be our ViewPoint Tandem and the other will be our Cargo Bike. If you can't make it to Mt. Airy Day be sure to say, "Hi" to Bob K. at the T-Town Swap Meet.

Mark your calenders now folks.  On June 8, 9 & 10th BCW is going to the Cirque du Cyclisme yet again. It's a fun filled weekend of rides, workshops, a swapmeet and a bike show. More updates will follow as the event approaches.

Steven Bilenky, Simon Firth, Pat Gillham, and Pat Gaffney enjoyed a lovely evening of cinema at the Ritz Theatre last Wednesday.  The group was privy to a special advance screening of The Flying Scotsman. The Flying Scotsman is based on a true story about Graeme Obree, a Scottish cyclist, determined to break Francesco Moser's Hour Record and win the World Championship. Obree struggles against his own mental illness and the resentful hostility of sports authorities. The film was a bit sappy but what do you expect when the plot of a film is an athlete overcoming adversity. The movie did feature some neat bike footage as well as a brief shot of Obree brazing. Folks from Bicycle Therapy and Time Cycle where also present. All had a grand time.

A BCW Viewpoint Tandem was ridden to an 8th place finish in R.E. Load's 7th Annual April Fools Race. The tandem was captained by none other than BCW's Patrick Gillham. Expert route planning and power was provided by stoker Chris Henrick (owner of a Bilenky Signature Travel Midlands). In addition to pedaling their way to the top ten, the team also received an award for heaviest bike (weighing in a 53.14 lbs). One of the secrets to the teams success was tracking down Pat Gaffney (BCW's #1 Customer). Pat was dressed as the Playboy Bunny and could be seen riding all over Center City. Finding Pat landed the team an extra 300 points.


The team also earned 200 points for stopping at Simon Firth's house to have make-up applied to their faces. BCW's Simon Firth and Bob Kamzelski as well as Simon's wife Victoria all made sure that every racer left their checkpoint looking divine!
