Black Label Bike Club’s annual freak bike expo Bike Kill has once again come and gone in a blaze of food-throwing, shin-bruising, and chaotic glory. Bushwick Daily had a great time at this year’s event, which was their 10th annual and landed (for once) on a day of lovely late October weather. Photographer Tim Skehan was on hand and got prime shots of the high-drama moments. Take a look at his pictures below- they will definitely inspire you to up your Halloween game. And though this event technically took place in Bed-Stuy, a decent number of these beautiful monster bikes were actually built in our very own neighborhood, with many of the riders hailing from the north side of Broadway as well. See if you can spot anyone you know in the crowd!

A devastating fire on Myrtle Avenue has forced two beloved Bushwick restaurants, La Lupe and Indika House, to close indefinitely, leaving employees without work during the holiday season.
