Last weekend, yet another edition of the Bilenky Junkyard Cross commenced, which meant there was plenty of punctures due to broken glass and narrow misses of man-made cyclocross obstacles of the cruelest kind. Yes, it’s THAT kind of race. Adam Nawrot of adamnawrot.com was there to capture the 2014 edition in all its beauty for part one of our two park series on junkyard cyclocross.
But first, if you’ve never seen the race, words can’t quite describe it, so be sure to first check out the video by CXHairs.com of the 2011 edition, which includes junkyard bikes, English 3-speeds, and two tandems welded together:
