Spot the differences // Spot the similarities

Fuji Pro Track vs. Specialized Langster Pro. Don't look too different from each other but maybe that's just the style of 2012.

Look here for tons of pics like the one on the right. 

More stuff here too, I guess in the pics there are the riders & bikes from the forthcoming Macaframa movie.  

Rain City Fix Book/Video Clip

From Seattle. Track bikes, tattoos, skinny jeans, messenger bags, cycling caps, funny hairdos and lots of facial hair, more tattoos, sneakers, trackstands, hip young good looking people, you know the score.... 

And here is the actual photo book, if someone is still interested.

Even More Pictures Of Girls With Bikes...

Yesterday I posted a lovely picture of a very lovely tattooed lady with shiny red pointy boots on a hot red track bike. Someone obviously liked the picture as the post was quickly linked to Orange County Fixed.

Now I will return the favor. So if you want to see lots more erotic photography of girls and bikes AKA bike pRon involving not only bicycles but also real ladiezzz, go ahead & click there.

But please be warned, some of that material might not be appropriate to be viewed in the workplace or in the presence of your better half - even if she knows you're only admiring the bikes in pictures... 

Keirin Girls

Ok, I just wanted to post the pic for no reason at all. Except that it is nice. Very nice indeed. I'm also personally a great fan of Keirin bikes, all things NJS and so on. 

And to justify the picture a bit more, let's say I posted it to celebrate the fact that it's already friday, the working week is almost over and the weather forecast promised the weekend's weather is going to nice, sunny and warm, basically great for a bit of cycling, here in Helsinki anyway. 

So enjoy your weekend no matter what you're planning to do. Cheers!

Puma Presents Fixed Gear 101: DOWNLOAD FOR FREE HERE!

Puma was the first big brand to get hip to the whole fixed gear trend and to support their FG specific clothes line they put together and sponsored a team of NYC messengers and put out a Puma Presents Fixed Gear 101 -guide, which was originally dealt out for free between the free and always very excellent Vice Mag. However, due to the limited supply of the printed version and growing demand some smartasses have selling the free guide on Ebay, like this asshole here.

I'm also sure that many n00bs and wannabe hipsters have accidently bought it. Well, that's just plain stupid because the PDF version of the guide is freely available on teh interwebz all the time.

Thanks to Fixie King in Denmark for hosting it. Incidentally, they also run a cool real life shop in Copenhagen AND a webstore for all your FG needs, if you're in Europe, that is.

MONSTER TRACK 2008 MAIN RACE CANCELED

By now everyone should know this already. The King of All Alleycats, Monster Track, a brakeless race on the streets of NYC, due to take place today got cancelled 'cos "Our reasons are many but the overall factor was that the race has become unmanageable due to the large participation and our concern for the participant’s safety.”

Actually only the main event, the Alley Cat race got cancelled, not the side events so go there if you're in NYC, it will be fun anyway.

Here's the full press release:

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The organizers of Monster Track 2008 have decided, after careful consideration, to cancel this year’s main race.

This decision did not come easy and was debated at length. Our reasons are many but the overall factor was that the race has become unmanageable due to the large participation and our concern for the participant’s safety.

As many of you know, Monster Track started as a race held for a small, close group of NYC bike messengers. It has now become an overwhelmingly all-inclusive event. This, on its face, may seem like a positive direction for a race but in the context of a solely track bike alleycat it brings many problems. First and foremost, the safety of the racers is compromised. We believe that this is not a tenable position for race organizers.

Although the main race is canceled, please join us for Gold Sprints on Friday evening, Fixed Gear Competition (track stands, skids, footdown, freestyle, sprints, etc.) on Saturday and the Velo City Tour, at Kissena Velodrome on Sunday.

Schedule of Events:

Friday March 7, 8PM
Goldsprints at Third Ward
195 Morgan Ave. Brooklyn

Saturday March 8, 1PM
Fixed Gear Comp and injured messenger fundraiser at Rocky’s
South 5th St. at Kent Ave. Brooklyn

Sunday March 9, 12PM
Velo City Track Competition at Kissena Velodrome
Booth Memorial Ave near Kissena Blvd. Queens"
