July 12th, 2025. A teenager is riding downhill on his fixed-gear bike. As he gains speed, he can't stop himself, and not being able to slow down enough, he slams into an AC condenser…

I know the title sounds a little philosophical, and be assured that this piece might feel as abstract as it is technical. But as I keep riding bikes and discovering new things about them…

Japan and track cycling share a unique history. When the fixed-gear movement took over the streets of Tokyo in the early 2000s, with events like alleycat races…

On one of my trips through Germany, I had the chance to meet Janis after spotting one of his bikes at Bespoked Dresden 25. Based in the Northern Alps, near the border between Germany and Austria…

Next to a fading “Welcome to Sipi Falls” sign a few locals beckoned us under cover. Hid on someone’s porch, we watched the sky give in right before us. Houses on the side of the road flooded and the mountain pass we had just climbed resembled more of a river than anything else…

During our Addis Ababa layover I decided I wanted a snack and a bottle of water, not the best idea. We missed our connecting flight and spent the night in fluorescent purgatory. One missed connection later Stan smugly watched on as I arduously assembled my Chinese aluminium bike…

So! As you might have noticed, the title has changed a little… And don’t worry, I have answers! But before that I want a talk about how every year, as I push myself to create the best work I can for SSS…

Cycling and art have long been intertwined, forming countless meaningful connections over the years. To me, any cycling company that gives artists the opportunity to express themselves on such a unique canvas…

If you follow anything about the custom and tailor made bike world, you probably already know about the Bespoked bike show. For its third edition in Dresden, Germany, I was finally there, camera in hand…

Hi everyone! So here! When my friend Zebraman (yes that’s his nickname, it’s a long story…) recently built a Titanium Omnium CXC with a pretty interesting setup…

If you weren’t there during the Weis Galaxy Tour weekend in Paris this summer, you’re in luck! We decided (a bit last minute) to record the meetup between Romain and Fin from Stolen Garage, and Cole, Logan, and Tom from Weis MFG…

BMX has been part of me for literally half my life. I started on my 15th birthday, when I received a beginner complete from Mongoose: loose ball bearing hubs, three-piece cranks, and a sprocket smaller than what was usual at the time…

For most cyclists, the search for the perfect bike is a familiar obsession. I’ll admit, I’m usually the first one hunting for the “next” thing, and I fall way too often for the famous N+1 rule: the correct number of bikes to own is always one more than you currently have.

A few weeks ago, I shared my experience from the event I organized for Weis in Paris. It took almost everything I had in me for an entire week, but it also made me eager to learn more about event organizing for the cycling community.

Post-COVID, Korea’s fixed gear scene sis hit a recession, major importers decided shut down, used market prices spiked, and the number of rider dwindled down compared to the mid-2010s…

Today’s a little different! While I’ve done event recaps here on SSS before, like with Rust Out and Love Letter Turbo, I’ve never been so much on the organizing side of things. But after bringing the Weis Manufacturing Team…

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…

It seems like the new tariffs policies are the number one topic out here in the cycling industry. And after a lot of reading, searching and cutting though the jargon of everything happening right now…

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.
