SPIN – Ben Roberts

Monday, January 31st, 2011

“Over the last few years, fixed gear bike culture has embedded itself on the streets of London.

A collaboration in progress with designer Christian Thümer, SPIN meets some of London’s unique fixed gear bikes in their own habitats.” – some great photographs, familiar bikes and faces! Featuring Aidan, Keith and Conrad amongst other friends of ours it’s a really cracking series! Check out the rest HERE

Red Bull Hill Chasers

Monday, January 31st, 2011

another cool event from Red Bull, this time drawing riders like Danny MacAskill and Tom Lamarche (hopefully
going to go ride with him today – stoked!) to “settle a long standing battle between bike disciplines. Who will be
the fastest in a short uphill sprint in Bristol’s city centre?”
Check out a couple of photos and a pretty funny video

Velodream

Monday, January 31st, 2011

I saw this video over at Prolly‘s and thought it was really quite lovely, with Doug – the owner
of University Bicycles – talking through some of his thoughts on world issues and why the
Velodrome is so great. It makes me want to get out on one! Oh and for some reason the
video is private and only wants to play on Prolly’s site (for the moment at least) so go
click the image to check it out
