May’s Recap!
Hello everyone! May was a rather densely packed month for SSS with a multitude of new things. So here is your monthly recap to ensure that you haven’t missed anything intriguing!
Some Stuff to Read
Plenty of good reads and eye candy this month. It starts with my visit to the Cinelli/Columbus HQ in Milano and Stolen Garage in Paris, respectively, earlier this year. Following that is the long-awaited, two-year update on the Fire Parallax, also known as "The Parakino," a bike check on the legendary Samson Challenger, and to finish it off, a couple more shots for the Love Letter Turbo Weekend!
Of course, all blog posts are up and live for you to enjoy wherever you are, at your family reunion, or middle of your century ride.
This month's Slow Spin podcast features my interview with Timmy Dineen.
We covered a range of topics during the conversation, including: the very welcoming queer cycling community in London, the significant connection between cycling and mental health, and the appeal of fixed mini-velos. (You know, you want one) Timmy is a delightful and intriguing individual I've had the pleasure of meeting in London, and I'm excited to share our conversation with all of you.
The Patreon Special Episode for May 2024 (a bit late as well) is a talk with OG member of SSS, Fabian! He and I had a conversation about various topics including: everyone having a podcast, Instagram algorithm, AI, overpriced bikes, and the excellence of Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure you'll discover some intriguing aspects throughout this special.🤔
As always, this exclusive content is available only for our paid Patreon Members!
News Rodeo
The newcomer in Slow Spin Society is News Rodeo, a collection of brief cycling news articles. Essentially, it's a compilation of short pieces on intriguing cycling topics that I choose to share. There isn't a set formula for how I curate the content; I simply write a few lines about what piques my interest.
