“Took ages to put parts together. Finally new bike’s ready. Sparkling frame from 14 Bike Co”
This really is a bicycle to be seen in real life. The green paint and black components compliment each other perfectly.
Thanks Kellen, have fun this summer on your new bicycle.
I don’t know about you but I had no problem watching 9 whole minutes of this, if anything it makes me
appreciate the effort these dudes put into their edits (plus there’s a fair amount of schadenfreude
going on). An awesome watch from Wolfdrawn
I like this mural from Agostino Iacurci in Lugano, Switzerland. There are other cool ones viewable at his
website but they don’t have bikes in, bummer. Pretty sick right? If you just love murals you might also
want to check out ARYZ, he’s awesome
So you may have already heard about this, but I’ll put it up anyway. John Griffin, pictured above, is the big bad boss
of Addison Lee – a cab company that most UK cyclists will be familiar with. He has recently told all of his minions to
ignore the law and drive in the bus lanes. This is illegal, but he’s told his minions he’ll pay the fines should they incur
them. It also makes the road significantly more dangerous for cyclists, and we don’t like that.
If you want to have a look at some interesting stuff related to this, check the TIMES and GUARDIAN articles, they’re
good, also check out THIS column written by Griffin (what a numpty)
So what can you do? Well, there’s an organised Addison Lee ‘Die-In’ protest kinda do outside the Addison Lee offices
today at 6pm (35-37 William Road, NW1 3ER) which you should get deaded-up for (‘Make-up and fake blood welcome!’)
Info on this can be found at the FACEBOOK event page.
If you hold an account with Addison Lee, it’d be cool if you could cancel it and use another service. Also, there’s a
PETITION you can sign to revoke their licences. Anything else? Well as always there’s an informative and useful
thread on the London FGSS FORUM with good links and junk, and then there’s an ‘Official Boycott Addison Lee’
wordpress which is worth checking out. That’s about it I think. He’s a right dick ain’t he?
Damn son, this is ill
