Like many fixed gear fans out there, a trip to Japan always felt inevitable. The hype, the arts , the roads! A chance to soak in the culture, visit my friend So (you might’ve seen him featured here before), and finally pick up a frame I’d been looking forward to for months…

I’ve already featured Romario’s collection a few times on here, with most recently his USSR Colnago. So now that you have a good sense of his “bike personality”, let’s rewind and take a look at the bike that started it all…

The Desertus Bikus is an ultradistance race I’ve been more or less involved with over the past few years. The first time I saw the start, it was hosted at the courier company

I often talk about how, in the cycling world, we should prioritize helping each other rather than staying isolated in our own little corners. And that’s exactly why I wanted to shine some light on The Swoops today….

There are plenty of people who consider themselves bike collectors, each for their own reasons. Maybe it’s the way a bike looks, the way it rides, the history behind it, or maybe it’s just the joy of collecting for collecting’s sake…

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…

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.

And we’re back with the second half of my coverage of the Mini Bike Fest in Berlin! If you haven’t checked out part one yet, I highly recommend doing so..

It’s not just me, the world seems to have an obsession with 20” bikes. Some call them a gimmick, others praise their versatility and the incredible fun factor of these mini-rigs…

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…

It’s time for another bike check, and it looks like we’ve been on an NJS streak lately! But this one isn’t from Japan… It’s from Brooklyn…

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…

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…

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…

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…

All of them are is finally out! A few weeks ago, we were having the first screening for “The Root To Tokyo”, ”The Planted Seed”, and ”The Spark”…

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…

A few months ago, Anthony from A-Frame Cycles asked me if I wanted to review their Titanium Riser Handlebar as it would probably be a good fit on the No. 22 Little Wing…
