Sartorially fixed
Beyond the 100s of fixed wheel video out there, we love this video from H by Harris. Never before have we seen such well dressed and sartorial riders – a creative breath of fresh air in comparison to the usual ‘urban’ clothing. But the end of the video is the best bit – it brings … Read more
You just can’t get enough?
Here’s an interesting video from Bikeminded in London. Slick, stylish and certainly cycle chic, the video’s clearly pitched at the wealthy Chelsea and Kensington set. And what’s wrong with that?

Something for the weekend…
Wildly publicised, but just in case you haven’t seen this hilarious poster for Transport for London, this is a classic read, the Joy of Sex, reinvented. Designed by the amazing creative Jamie Wieck, founder of ENSO, this is such a good use of an old, and possibly still useful, publication.

So if you are planning a winter trip to Moscow sometime soon, look them up or find … Read more
Flying Pigeons
Director Adrian Buitenhuis (for Yulu Creative Communications) has recently created this wonderful short video to promote Flying Pigeon bicycles. Although a promotional piece there is something of the simplicity and beauty that we can all feel on a bicycle at times, whether freewheeling through Autumn sunshine or pedalling along a seashore in warm breezes. There’s … Read more
