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…

A few days after my super quick weekend in the German capital, stuck between a solid 24 hours of driving, I saw I got tagged in some posts with some pretty cool film pictures.

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 been listening to the Patreon Specials, you probably know about the experiment I’ve been running with my personal Instagram account (@_paul_u). It just wrapped up, and here’s the story...

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…

A few weeks ago, while working on a project with a few friends, I had the opportunity to take some snaps for an Oakley Editorial. Although I wasn't directly working for Oakley or anything, I saw an opportunity and seized it…

After a five-year break, Track Bike Union (TBU) was back—and I was all in for it! If you haven't heard of TBU, let me give you a quick intro to what might just be the most laid-back velodrome event you'll ever experience…

Anyone with any familiarity to film photography will either laugh or question the sanity of a person trying to shoot an indoor event at night on their forty-year-old camera without a flash…

You would think that, as someone who didn’t go to MADE, I would be quite frustrated not to see the No. 22 Reactor Aero Road Prototype after secretly eyeing it while visiting their workshop in Johnstown...

Osaka was one of my favorite cities of all time. The last time I visited was perhaps seven years ago, while it was just me and my father. Osaka, among some other cities, has characteristics I liked as a cyclist: a compact urban area...

In 2023, around this time, I was posting my article about my weekend in Berlin for RadRace Last Wo/Man Standing. And I was talking about how amazing my experience was over there, all the fun I had, etc… But, this was better!

Starting to write this article is honestly a bit overwhelming. Part of it could be because I shot a whole twelve rolls of film in barely three days, creating more content than I ever did in one single short trip…
