I’ve discovered a gem of a site. I love everything about it, the fact that it looks like it was built in 1991 and never updated and could now be in the running for ‘Worst website On The Internet’, but mostly because there are interactive bike puzzles! Got some time to kill? If you’re not [...]

As some of you will have noticed, The Daily Crank has been quiet lately. That is due to a few months travelling by yours truly around South America (where I did some of the most incredible mountain biking at altitude) and also due to the fact that I have relocated from London back to Cape [...]

Ever since I picked up and read Mark Beaumont’s book, The Man Who Cycled The World, it’s opened up the world of adventure bike touring and rekindled the semi crazy ideas I’ve had of taking some time off to tour a few countries on two wheels. I’ve also started paying attention to the various world [...]

London cycle shop Push has launched a rather excellent art club selling cycling themed posters. Starting from December 11, Push will be selling original screenprinted posters in editions of 30 at £30 each. Half of the profits will go to the artist and half will go to the Brain Tumour Trust. They are open for [...]

Kinda weird, but hey. Va Fa Napoli, Hipster An elderly man exacts revenge on the hipsters that have plagued his beloved Brooklyn neighborhood. “Va Fa Napoli, Hipster” premiered this past Saturday at two film festivals, The Coney Island Film Festival and The Williamsburg International Film Festival. It was shot all in one day on location [...]

I haven’t quite worked out if this is actually available for purchase or if it was just a once off! Very cool nonetheless and it looks excellent. I would give a lot to have this on my coffee table… Excerpt from preface: “This year marks the one hundredth anniversary of the two machines that have [...]

Will Manville makes some very nice bike art. I recommend keeping a lookout for him and his work. His bio says: Born in 1988 and originally from the San Fernando valley in Los Angeles California. Will Manville is a graduate at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. His main focus are monotypes, [...]

Not bad Bonthrone Bikes, not bad. I quite like it. Quirky and different.

Some people have a singletrack life. That’s all I have to say.

I was sent a lovely animation bringing my attention to Kayden Kleinhans and The Global Wheeling Foundation. The Global Wheeling Foundation is a South African based Non Profit Organisation and has some amazing initiatives up and running, including Bums On Bikes and Recycle A Bike. Set up by South African Kayden Kleinhans, his latest challenge [...]
