Thanks Marcus.

The people from Keirin Berlin would be more than happy to get their bike back. It is a women’s cargo bike (also goes by the name Bakery Bike or Short John) in black color. It has black Campagnolo MTB cranks, only on the drive side though, as well as Schwalbe tires. It is approx. 40-50 years old and has several rust-spots. The most obvious mark is the dent on the top left side of the basket.

There is a CASH reward of €150 at the Keirin shop! No questions asked! If you see this bike send an E-Mail to info@keirinberlin.de or just call the shop at +49 30 84857666.

B.I.K.E. is an exploration of the Black Label Bicycle Club and the wider tallbike subculture that has grown up around it. Comprised mainly of artists driven by anti-materialism and a belief that the impending apocalypse will render cars useless and bicycles in power, BLBC battles mainstream consumer culture and rival gangs for its vision of a better tomorrow. The film chronicles the trials of co-director Anthony Howard as he tries to become a member of the club.

The people from Mutiny Bikes put their epic Let’s Get Mystical online to watch it for free. If you still haven’t seen one of the best filmed and edited BMX films in awhile, this is your chance. Pictured above is part 1 of 6.

“28s looking clean”.  Thanks Moe.

Props to the Frenchmen!

The first half of the 20-stage 2010 Tour de France is over, with the current overall leader being Andy Schleck of Luxembourg riding for Denmark’s Team Saxo Bank. This 97th running of the race started in Rotterdam with 198 riders in 22 teams of nine, and will conclude 3,642 km later in Paris on the Champs-Elysees on July 25.

As part of the BCN BMX PRO The Nike 6.0 Standby Barcelona competition saw 5 countries go head to head to shoot the best street film in Barcelona within an allotted time. Countries included France, Germany, UK, USA and Spain. Each team was made up of one lead director, one filmer and four riders. All of the countries had just one week to film and edit their entire section.

We’ll keep you updated on the sections of places 4 to 1.

The Bicycle Portraits project was initiated by Stan Engelbrecht (Cape Town, South Africa) and Nic Grobler (Johannesburg, South Africa) early in 2010. Whenever they can, they’re on the lookout for people who use bicycles as part of their everyday work, to meet and photograph. Being avid cyclists themselves, this project is as much an investigation into South African bicycle culture as it is an excuse for them to ride their bikes and take photographs. Via

In the summer of 2009 Steven Anthony (San Francisco) and Peteris Bikis (Latvia) did an incredible 3.700 km ride from Stockholm, Sweden to Barcelona, Spain – all fixed gear. Some balls are just bigger than others.

I got one of their pants last year – still the best cycling garment I’ve ever had. I wish more companies would focus more on materials and quality like Outlier does. Via
