Very cool project! Check out more on the Love Your Bike Portsmouth site. I know it’s a bit late for the event, about 6 months too late in fact, but look out for these next time around. Can’t say I don’t give you enough advance warning about stuff. . From Left Top: Main event logo [...]

This could be huge in South Africa! Coming to the Cycle Show in London is the suspiciously named Bond bike which apparantly stands for Built Of Notorious Deterrents. Right ok then. Apparently an insurance firm surveyed a bunch of cyclists to discover their top grievances while cycling in the urban jungle. They then designed a prototype bike to counter [...]

It’s that time of year again, the Cycle Show is here! I’m not completely sure why it’s held at this time of year as winter draws in and people start hiding their bikes in the back of their sheds, but I digress. I’m looking forward to it either way, it’s basically bicycle porn whichever way [...]

Always on the lookout for cool gear (especially t-shirt designs) and more ways to procrastinate, I stumbled across these and I agree, they look rather good! For £20, think I’ll be investing. Loving the “Attack the Pack” one. View more on the flip side at Morvelo. via xracer.com

Because I know everyone secretly loves Rapha and their styling. Also a good read: Sir Paul Smith: cycling, style and that ‘little bugger Mark Cavendish’ Sir Paul Smith, pre-eminent fashion designer, talks to Telegraph Sport about his love of all things cycling, and bike design and style.

Haha I’m not sold. Thanks Ross. Check out more at the Telegraph (you know, the newspaper that doesn’t charge you for reading it online).

You know how it is, you leave in the morning from your chalet in France to bomb down some Alps, but then you suddenly get to the bottom and realise you’ve gone down the wrong side and are now in Italy. Well, that is why I’ve been eyeing this little guy for awhile. Never let [...]

The Blur LT Carbon Hotness Santa Cruz just keep producing master pieces in mtb frame design, they seem to have endless amounts of design and engineering talent that results in the sexiest bikes on the planet. Although the Blur LT Carbon is a year old its still seems to be on every ones wish list. [...]

It always happens. You’re in the Alps riding the trails with your mates when suddenly you turn a corner and there’s 2 options, left and right. Instead of choosing the road less travelled (maybe you would though, because isn’t that the point? But I digress) you merely call up your mate on your watch and [...]

Compact-able Urban Bicycle designed to save space when it is being transported or it is not in use. This is a really interesting concept bike. Slightly mad, but very interesting. I’m not sure I’m sold on the yellow and grey, it looks a bit like a moving roadworks sign, but otherwise it’s pretty cool! Take [...]

Here are some outrageously awesome All mountain/DH shoes from Five Ten. Our champion South African Santa Cruz rider Greg Minnaar asked Five Ten for a spd set in a traditional flat sole shoe and, wow, Five Ten have delivered! They have built them up using StealthS1 outersoles, offering technique-enhancing traction that works in conjunction with the spd. Tough durable leather uppers with Velcro strap closures, which is an improvement [...]

A lovely addition to your garage wall perhaps? Or even the bedroom…if you’re single. Or plan on staying single. This clock was made from a recycled aluminum bike wheel. The wheel mounts directly to the wall through the hub using a hollow wall anchor and gives the illusion that it is floating off the wall. [...]

With a name like Mmmbop, you can’t really go wrong I built up my Ragley in November after I had decided to go back to a hardtail. Ragley make a choice of hardcore hard hit hardtails, I chose the Aluminium for its extra stiffness. The frame has a really slack head angle and steep seat [...]

These little beauties are awesome. Imagine flying down some single track and recording as you go, no bulky headcam to worry about. Or if they put a pair on Lance and you could see what actually happened in the middle of the peleton. Him and Contador trying to stick things into each other’s spokes probably. [...]
