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…
My Top 5 Bikes at BikeLore 2024!
Bike Lore Hakushu was about a month ago, and as usual, it was filled with good bikes, fun people, and the great racing spirit that makes this event so popular. It’s also probably the only place where you can catch your own fish, grill it, and eat it with ice cream…
The Quokka Cycles Workshop
When people with excellent taste decide to mix bike and car culture to create a bike brand based on their aesthetics and convictions, I expect nothing but great outcomes.
Bike Check: Kang’s Quokka MudSlayer
Thinking back about it, I think I’ve been following the “Kang Adventure” from day 0. From his early training at Cyfac to his first Quokka Cycles prototype, and now one of the final bikes that was missing from his lineup…
Street Track from the Far East: Unver Tokyo
When people with excellent taste decide to mix bike and car culture to create a bike brand based on their aesthetics and convictions, I expect nothing but great outcomes.
The Wild Experience that is Slow Burnin’ Man
2023 Slow Burnin’ Man is something that you will never EVER find anywhere else. Take a healthy dose of music, bikes, friends and honestly pure madness, and you’ll get close to the magic mix that creates this event.
Bike Check: Philipp’s Tracklo-Orlowski
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure to finally meet with Philipp during the RadRace weekend in Berlin. I feel it’s important to say that Philipp has been one of the very first supporters of our content…
Convert any Fixed-Gear to a Tracklocross shredder.
There are enough articles on this website to prove that the Parallax is by far, one of my favorite track bike to be mass-produced. A tight geometry, good for the city and everything that stays on “paved roads”
Bike Check: Nobu’s Fixed Doppo Racer
There is something special about “creating” a fixed gear frame out of anything that wasn’t deign to be one in the first place. In this particular case, we’re looking at a Doppo Racer by Simworks…
Bike Check: Tommy’s Mash Lava
You’ve already seen a couple of shots of my Mash Lava on this blog and I can’t lie by telling you that, this paint job, might be one of my favorite of the entire Mash lineup. But what you haven’t seen yet is the bike that made me want one. ..
Here's how a €200 tyre set really feels like.
When it comes to tires and brakeless fixed-gear, the usual rule of thumb is: “The cheaper, the better…” But again, my curiosity, and developed sens of aesthetic got the better of me and my wallet…
One Summer of Trackpacking, what did I learn?
If you’ve been following me on social medias or even on our Discord, you know that I’ve completed a few good chunks of trackpacking this summer…
A Love Letter to Tracklocross <3
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past five years, you’ve probably heard about tracklocross. Taking your fixed gear into the woods to shred that forest harder than your last university essay.
Bike Check: Sada’s Squid So-Ez
I tend to insist a lot on the whole “Summer is finally here!” thing and if the recent “Summer special” podcast, or “Summer Newsletter” didn’t bash your heads enough with my love for the hot season…
Knocking on Wood with the Gump 760
A few months back when Fabian and I were looking for some news to put in the pre-show, I came upon something quite interesting. A handlebar made out of wood…
It’s already no secret that in the cycling industry there have been many attempts to introduce wooden handlebars. Most of them failed miserably…
Bike Check: Cédric’s Freaky Dolan
Why am I so happy to do this bike check? Because of this! This is the perfect mix of “let me build something fully custom” and “okay, but no more than 100 euros”. From the rattle can paint job to the part selection, everything on this bike screams: I don’t care what you think, I look sick anyway! So let’s see what this is all about.
A fixed-gear in the middle of the desert. Tracklopacking in the Bardenas Reales.
Summer is here again and for most of us, it’s also time to take some time off and ride to new places. Fortunately for us, a good friend of Ella and I had the perfect destination in mind and we took the opportunity to ride our bikes and go shred some dust.
An Unexpected Snowy Journey
As temperature drops and my hands start to regret every outside journey, my friends and I were starting to crave some snowy action! Even a little bit would do, but snowy days in Paris are a rare sight nowadays…
