Red Hook Crit/Milano (RHC/M) No. 3: all fix gears, no brakes, 22 lap criterium on the streets of Milano, Italy, International Field [100 riders].  You don’t see no cut-offs in this fix-gear peloton.

RHC/M No.1 & No.2 were nite events.  RHC-M No. 3 was in full day light (who knows why; evidence of its success?; something with the Italians?)  The Red Hook Crits are brought to you by David Trimble of  GageDeSoto (bike shop in Brooklyn).  Red Hook Crits started out as total underground/unsanctioned events and represent a new era of bike racing.  Trimble took it to Italy and may be well on his way to evolving it into a classic.  Click the image to view the next photo in the series (7).

It’s interesting to see cars lining the entire course, on the left and right, but no one seems to care; no one gets towed; not in Italy.

Winner: Evan Murphy (age 24 from Ridgewood, NY) Bravo!
