Brivael, a.k.a. Kang, is one of my closest friends. We’re animated by the same passion, we like to hang out when we can, and we enjoy pushing each other in our respective bike endeavors…

When Rob and I recorded the Episode about Graemme Obree a.k.a. The Flying Scotsman, I did develop some sort of a fascination for bikes with two trispokes.And when I went to Tokyo later this year…

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.

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…

It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to see a private collection. And when you do, it’s a big YES without even any hesitation…

Last week, I was talking with another film photography enthusiast, about how expired film can be a gamble for your pictures. And If you’ve been around…

So that’s it, you’ve landed in Japan, you’re building your bike for a first ride, and since you’re here you might as well check a shop or two. But there is one name that you’ve been hearing over and over, Blue lug…

If you're a listener of our podcast, you know that the Bianchi Pista Concept has a very special place in my heart. So after reaching Japan, it was common sense to introduce you to the man who sparked in me the fascination for that frame….

I'm gonna make this clear before we start. This is not a giant rant about Japan and how you should not go there.I know that it's a dream destination for a lot of you and I highly encourage you to travel to the country of the rising sun at least once…

Brooklyn Machine Works (BMW) has always been into its own category in fixed gear culture. With the massive success of the recent Gangsta V4 and the number of questions that I heard around me…

Would you look at that! Our first International bike check! And what better way to start than with my good friend Kotaro’s Kevin Winter. It’s a bike I know well, since I helped him import it in Japan

Today is a very important bike check and let me tell you why. When Brivael first told me about his custom track frame that he was gonna build, I was intrigued. When he gave me more details…

Hello everyone! Today is a quick write-up on a few things I wanted to discuss. Since It’s not a “real” article, I’ll make it up to all of you in the next few weeks with an extra bike check or something along these lines. …

As someone who started cycling semi-seriously, primarily because of commuting, I find it really difficult to do a “loop”. The principle of riding on your bike aimlessly, to finally come back where you started and close your “loop” sounds almost impossible to me.

As fixed gear riders, the usual joke around is: “I’m one with the bike! It’s like there is a connection between us!”. And as corny as it may seem, it’s a genuine feeling that I hope you’ve encountered…

I’m pretty sure that you all know what a GT GTB/Pulse/Kinesis is. I would say it’s part of the holy trinity of the late 90s’ most collectable track bikes….

Ok! So before you read anything, put down any spike of fork you may have reached just by reading the title. Today we’re diving into a “touchy” subject. For the ones who are still paralyzed or too scared to read just one more word. Don’t worry, if I did it, you can do it too. Stay focused, breathe, one step at a time…

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…
