I started covering Romario’s collection a few months ago here on Slow Spin Society. With so many impressive bikes that often look completely unridable, in a “normal” setting, it’s refreshing to find one with a more traditional look, something I could actually imagine taking for a spin around the block…

A few years ago, I posted about Yuki’s criterium machine, her beautiful carbon fiber Kalavinka. Well, time for a change of pace: today, we’re taking a look at her Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta V4…

In a recent post, I shared how Skream invited me to Hong Kong to finalize my review of the Skream Ranger. And with “The Vertical City” being so naturally cinematic…

When it comes to the fixed gear scene, there’s always been an enduring obsession with the Brooklyn Machine Works (BMW) Gangsta Track. But what about the lesser-known LaunchPad?

When I first launched Slow Spin Society with a sharp focus on fixed gear culture, I think deep down I wanted to help sparking another “fixed gear boom”, following the one we saw in the 2010s. One of the most unforgettable highlights from that era has to be the Red Hook Crit.

First off, a big thank you to Corentin and Stéphane for organizing the second edition of Love Letter Turbo (LLT), and once again giving me the opportunity to showcase some of my work in their publication…

The No. 22 press coverage never seems to stop around here, but sadly this is the last bit I saved from my 2024 summer trip to America. Today, we’re checking out a very special bike, since it’s the one I’ve been stoked about since I first spotted it online years back…

Let me start by introducing myself. I was born in Osaka, and I’m now in my third year of riding track bikes. At first, it was just about messing around with friends on bikes, Osaka has such a dense fixed-gear culture that it was hard not to get swept up in it…

What you’re seeing now is the first of a few bike checks I did while visiting Romario’s collection in Hong Kong. Private collectors like Romario don’t always grant access to photographers or media outlets…

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to Kaito, frame builder at Stratos. If you read until the end, you might recall me mentioning his side project, Flow Lab…

I am lucky enough to be surrounded by friends with amazing projects and jobs within the “cycling sphere.” Today, I want to share an interview I did with Kaito a few months ago when he took me to the Stratos Workshop.

If you’ve recently seen one of the movies I help produce for Skream Bikes during my trip between Tokyo and Hong Kong, you’ve probably seen a back on black Skream Magnum, ridden by no other than Mathie a.k.a. @deythos

Nestled at the corner of Sackett and Nevins Street in the heart of Brooklyn, Tuned is one of the go-to bike shop in New York if you want top-notch quality service, and a great selection of parts and components

Throughout 2024, I noticed more and more builds following the same pattern. And I have to admit, even though it's not a new concept, the idea of a vintage steel track frame modernized with drops and brakes is becoming increasingly tempting…

You already know what time it is! Another Bike Lore, another collection of cool bike builds I’ve been hunting around the event. And this time we truly have a bit of everything: Hand made gravel, cargo bike prototype, vintage mtb…

No, you're not on SMC, but yes, today's feature is a 26” Fixed Gear Freestyle bike. Am I biased because of the fiery paint job? Absolutely. But when Taka made the journey all the way from Kyoto to tear up some iconic spots in the heart of Tokyo…

This is it! The review I’ve been carefully shaping over the past six months, reflecting on every detail both on and off the bike during my time with the No. 22 Little Wing. That said, my goal here is to share my genuine, unfiltered thoughts…

Here we are once again... one year has passed! Is Slow Spin Society the only cycling media produced entirely on film in recent years? I'm not certain, but likely so…

This is it! One year later, it's finally a wrap of my coverage of the Shuhari collection. And because I'm keeping the best for last, this is by far the coolest bike I rode while I was there…

We're past the one-month mark before Christmas and you still don't have a present for your cycling friend? I mean, you could opt for a book or a board game..
