Just who is this Bikesnob NYC person? Does anyone know? He (or she) is supposed to be anonymous but I'm sure most people have wondered who exactly this person is. What does he/she look like? What is his/her day job? Does he/she have a job? Why exactly is this person so entertaining to so many fans on the internet?

I have to admit, I enjoy the occasional Bikesnob NYC (BSNYC from now on) post and have even made comments to a few of the posts (though I'm pretty sure no one reads them). Because I'm pretty new to the cycling blog world and have only recently made the rounds to all of the blogs including BSNYC, I still do not fully understanding what BSNYC, the website, is all about. I'm perplexed by the ubiquitous first few comments which include such single words like "Podium", "2" or some other, what seems like, random words. Of course, I understand they are all trying to be the first "commenter" of the post, but why? And why be anonymous? It's just turbid. But regardless, I do enjoy the posts and it is one of the sites I visit on a regular basis.

Now, with that said, I thought it would be cool to poke fun at the supposed anonymity of BSNYC. Apparently, we were both at the Harlem Crits a few weeks ago and after looking at some of BSNYC's photo's I realized he was within my line of site as I was taking photos. So could I have possibly caught BSNYC on camera? I, of course, don't know the answer but maybe someone else might be able to offer some insight. Follow me to my exhibits...

My wife and I enjoyed a nice afternoon in Harlem this past Sunday watching the 35th Annual Skyscraper Harlem Cycling Classic. As you no doubt may have seen or heard, Rock Racing was in town! Their fearless leader Michael Ball brought in flare and some of his best cyclists. (You might be interested in this interview of him by Velocity Nation.) Fast Freddie Rodriquez, Tyler Hamilton and Rashaan Bahati all made the trip this year. Ball also recruited a couple of Toyota-United riders including the Cuban Missile, Ivan Dominguez to make up a world class field.

Too bad Rock didn't win. Leave it up to a youngster, Eric Barlevav of Time Pro Cycling, to steel the thunder. Not only did he out throw Bahati at the line, he proceeded to cross the finish line on the ground. It seemed like he preferred to win with a belly flop rather than the traditional salute. Job well done though. Take a look below at his soon to be patented salute. I don't recommend this to anyone.

See the final results here.
