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 8barBrother CyclesPinarello, 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.”

BISHOP BIKES

11038669026_4555cf77a3_b11038191976_ddde9c7c1a_bBishop Bikes is a one man shop run by Chris Bishop. Every project I have seen from Bishop Bikes is a work of art. Chris’s passion for frame building shows in each frame. The quality of work coming out of this shop is phenomenal.

“Combining classic artisanal techniques and modern materials, I create bikes with a clean, modern aesthetic and precise attention to detail. Bike fit and handling tailored to customer needs and riding style are my primary objectives, with beautiful paint and thinned lugs being the finishing flourishes on a solid foundation. I prefer to fit customers myself whenever possible. Among my many influences are the classic French constructeurs, Italian racing bikes, and the great American custom builders of today.”

The Heavy Pedal Headquarters

805 W. Madison St. PHX, AZ 85007

“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!”

The new Ass Saver has arrived!

“The Ass Saver Original is our third generation foldable mudguard. Proven and tested in the field, it’s a simple solution to the annoying brown stripe down the back of your pants.

The new and much improved ASO-3 is compatible with almost every standard rail saddle thanks to our new patent pending attachment system. The ASO-3 is a breeze to mount and once in place, it stays in place. When not in use, it can be folded up and stored underneath your seat, ready to be deployed the next time you are caught out in a shower. The new design have also resulted in a more durable product that is less sensitive to wear and tear. So whether you’re urban shredding, winter training or just prefer to keep your behind unsoiled, the ASO-3 is your new best friend!”
