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, [...]

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 [...]

Singaporean design studio Angelus Novus has a great side project, Vanguard Designs, which specializes in one-of-a-kind bicycles as well as customization and restoration of classic bikes. Take a look at their lates work at http://www.vanguard-designs.com/home.html

I’ve been getting very inspired lately. I recently finished Mark Beaumont’s book “The Man Who Cycled The World” who set a record for cycling around the world. Then at the Cycle Show, I met Vin Cox who had recently broken that record. Then I read Ranulph Fiennes book “Mad Bad And Dangerous To Know” and [...]

The Syndicate is obviously not going anywhere next year, so here’s an announcement of some of their plans for the upcoming 12 months. Steve Peat, Greg Minnaar, Josh Bryceland, Jamie Goldman and John Waddell make up the 2011 Santa Cruz Syndicate and they are ready for next season! “The Santa Cruz Syndicate line up for [...]

One for the diary. Stumbled across Geoff Waugh and his photography the other day and now it turns out he will be exhibiting at Look Mum No Hands next month. I’ve quickly become a fan (not least because he seems to stolen my idea for a career) and I’m looking forward to heading over to [...]

I’ve discovered Hill Climbing Competitions. Following on from my experience of the Oldest Continuing Bike Race in the world which is a hill climb sprint up Yorks Hill, I’ve come across the Cobble Wobble. I initially came across the posters below which I thought were beautifully designed. Held in September/October each year, the Cobble Wobble [...]

Classic and beautiful English frameworks. Apparently, in the days of pro cycling yore, frame-builders couldn’t put their marques on their race bicycles. A frame-builder eager to have their bicycles stand out from the crowd in the peleton would have to have a high performance race bicycle with distinctive and unique geometry. Hetchins accomplished this with [...]

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 [...]

Lovely project from Juri Zaech who is apparantly trying to get one of these made for real. Just imagine! Great work. . via behance ..

The season finale of The Atherton Project sees Gee, with his World Cup win under his belt, heading to Utah for the mother of all freeride events: Red Bull Rampage. On the road, Gee and the team stop off at a gun range to let off some steam, and a few AK-47 rounds! Then it’s on to Red Bull Rampage. [...]

These are brilliant. Taken from bicycling.co.za which also includes some great comments and additions to the list (at the bottom of the article). 1) Realizing that the hill isn’t in the way; it is the way. 2) You go from one pair of shorts to a dedicated drawerful. 3) Being unable to sleep the night [...]

Last winter I am proud to be able to stick up my hand and say I did cycle through it, through darkness, rain, wind and snow and I seemed to spend most of the winter tweaking things along the way so that by the end of the winter I was pretty much able to know [...]

I’m not sure how I actually came across James Straffon, but when he’s linked with Paul Smith and doing exhibitions in Heathrow’s Terminal 5, then you know he’s talented and well connected. You’re all probably thinking, yes of course I’ve heard of him, why haven’t you? Yes yes, I’m getting there. He  was also at [...]

I love reading. I’m looking turn half of my garage into a bike workshop and the other half into a library. I’m actually about to invest in an Amazon Kindle so that I can stop putting a dent into the Amazon rainforest. See what I did there? I’m not sure either. Anyway…here of 5 of [...]
