SPIN LONDON
Spin London is only two weeks away and we are getting excited! So much cool stuff happening throughout the weekend! Lots of great exhibitors will be there including 8bar, Brother Cycles, Pinarello, and Restrap.
“Spin LDN, the mini-festival that celebrates cycling’s influence in everyday culture, will take residency at the Old Truman Brewery this year, providing an action packed schedule of activities that includes lessons in the growing art of ‘bike-polo’ & demonstrations from ex-bike thieves on how not to get your bike stolen. In only its second year of existence, Spin LDN has emerged as a platform to showcase many of the parts of society that cycling has influenced – from the fashion it has spawned to the film-making it has inspired.
Across three days, Spin LDN will hero some of the most progressive, forward thinking international brands and smaller independent makers from across the bike world, including handmade frames from artisan builders, emerging cycle fashion brands, off-the-peg bikes, accessories, cycle-wear and cyclic artwork.”

“This is an extension of the locally acclaimed, longest lasting ride in Arizona, “Lux Ride.” The ride starts at Heavy Pedal and has a weekly rotating route through downtown/midtown/uptown Phoenix. There is a destination spot to reconnect the A and B groups, get water, etc… Then we ride back to Heavy Pedal to cool down and disperse. We are less than a mile away from the Light Rail if you want to come out from Scottsdale/Tempe/Etc and don’t want to exhaust yourself on the way home. The ride is 2-3 hours in duration. We look forward to seeing you here in Phoenix!”

CHROME WINTER CLEARANCE
COMMUNITY
Recently I have been talking to some friends about the fixed gear scene, where it is heading, and what it means to us. In the early days of “The Fixed Life” I had a completely different outlook. I much like a lot of others had a huge ego. I wanted to be the fastest, have the best bikes, and be a HUGE ASSHOLE ABOUT EVERYTHING. In the past few months I have watched everything that is going on and I have been quiet, kept my mouth shut, and done my own thing. Different crews are feuding or companies writing hate filled blogs about their competitors and how they don’t deserve to be in this pedal driven world because they are out to make a dollar instead of for the greater good. This all seems a little bit ridiculous to me. I understand that with any sport there has to be major competition and sometimes this turns into aggression which can lead to hate. Throughout my whole life values have been instilled into me; be the best, don’t take shit from anyone, work harder than everyone else, and do whatever you have to do to succeed. Continue reading
