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…

Hello readers! Over the past few months, I’ve been writing about how NJS bikes are a good base for builds when you look past the strictly “Keirin style Track bike” that they are built for…

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…

Bike messengers are badass, no doubt about it. I spent a few years in that world, and while I loved the job, I don’t think I ever rode a setup as cool as this for deliveries…

Let me start with this: What happens when a frame builder crafts a bike for himself? A show bike of course, but also a machine built to ride, travel, and showcase his work everywhere he goes…

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

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…

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…

Feeling extra in sync with your bestie recently and wondering how it would feel to blast on a gorgeous track bike but… together. Don’t worry, the Shuhari collection has what you need…

Another bike from Shuhari and another piece of history I had the pleasure to try. The 3rensho Domifon is a stayer bike, and if you are unfamiliar with this type of machine, allow me to explain…

Today, I'm thrilled to share what’s easily my favorite podcast episode of the year. This summer, I sat down with James—also known as J.D. Cycle Tech…

A few months back, I was featuring Tomas' Peloton and its many quirks, as well as how he decided to build the whole bike around the front suspension fork. Today, I’d like to showcase another one of his incredibly unusual builds - His Watanabe NJS…

What if... your chainring were as large as your wheels? It seems very difficult on 700c or even 26 inches. But what about 12 inches? The same size as a toddler's balance bike, but rideable by a grown adult…

The Look 396 is truly track bike dream material. It looks completely unique, is rare but still somehow obtainable, and each one comes with its own history and little perks...

The Japanese economic bubble of the 1980s gave birth to numerous inventions that came into existence "because they could." One such creation is the Bridgestone Picnica...

How long do you think you can keep one bike? Two years? Five? Over a decade? How would you maintain it, and what would the bike become after thousands of kilometers ridden...
