Jasper Orange Juice just sent me this video of Evan van der Spuy of Team Jeep South Africa got taken out by a RED HARTEBEES at a mountain bike race at Albert Falls Dam. Holy shit.
This is why you wear a helm in the (urban) jungle! Glad he is alright, that could have ended a lot worse..
Jasper just sent me this video of Roy messing around in the Amsterdam Ghetto Park, damn. Roy’s got skillz.
JAPAN BRINGS IT AGAIN. FLAT FIX ANOTHER EDITION “MARCO TOUR”
As seen on: Prolly
This month Pristine will run a workshop at the BikeMOTION in Utrecht. We will show and explain the expected 30.000 visitors – well, most of them – how to build your own fixed gear or single speed. We hope to see you all there, it’s gonna be fun – so if you have time to come out to Utrecht make sure you do!
The event is named cycle|recycle since we will transform worn out racing bicycles into speedy and slick messenger bikes. For this we plundered Marktplaats and run into some really nice vintage Giant’s, Gazelle’s and Koga’s…
cycle|recycle also shows
Note: Our charming ´fashionistas´, dressed up in vintage cycling shirts, will perform a fair but strict door policy: you have to love cycling in its purest way.
BikeMOTION, Jaarbeurs Utrecht, Friday 14th October – Sunday 16th October 2011.
cycle|recycle is organized by journalist Robert B.P. van Weperen with the help of many many volunteers and sponsors like Brick Lane Bikes, Amazing Wheels, Cosmic Sports, Fuji, Schwalbe, KMC chains.

De allereerste Afsluitrace, de laatste fietskoers van het jaar!
Tijdens de Afsluitrace zal er 64 kilomter over de afsluitdijk worden gekoerst om schoon drinkwater voor 5000 mensen in Kameroen te realiseren.
In samenwerking met Pristine (Amsterdam) en The Village Coffee&Music (Utrecht) organiseren wij deze race om zoveel mogelijk geld in te zamelen voor De Grote WaterAktie van LiveBuild. Voor 20 euro kan één iemand in Kameroen van een leven lang schoon drinkwater worden voorzien.
De Afsluitdijk twee keer bedwingen, dat is geen appeltje-eitje. Laat je daarom sponsoren door je vrienden en familie!
De inschrijfkosten om mee te fietsen zijn 10 euro.
Daarvoor krijg je:
- vervoer vanuit Amsterdam,Rotterdam of Utrecht naar Den Oever
- iets te eten en te drinken tijdens voor en na de race
- EHBO post, een bezemwagen en verschillende parcour-begeleiders
En als je nu nóg niet staat te trappelen op je pedalen:
er zijn ook nog eens mooie prijzen te winnen!
Geef je nu op! Stuur een mailtje naar sanneb@livebuild.org

Stolen last night between 2 and 6am from Bob’s stairwell (!) in Amsterdam. He really wants his bike back, so if anyone sees this bike. Make sure to kick the guy off of this bike.

Just saw these pictures of Gypsy (who works at Gear Brisbane) over on one of my favourite blogs Pedal Consumption, taken by the talented Matt Lingo.
If you want to see the full set, head over to his blog RecFail. They are well worth checking out, plus Gypsy’s new bike is pretty sick.
…do any of you watch the series Weeds? Me and Santina watched all the seasons and recently Andy opened up a bikeshop in New York.. where besides the Copenhagen Wheel, he sells complete Volume Cutter V6 bikes with Resist parts. Haha.
“One of the producers asked LA Brakeless about a bike company that would be willing to help out and they thought of us. Since we are huge fans, how could we refuse. Can’t wait to see what else comes of Andy’s bike project. We all thought the bike would be in the background or somethin’ and not a main focus point. Very cool!”
