According to their website, “….The idea was to create a journal of personal stories. Bikes have changed people’s lives in so many ways and we wanted to gather a small selection of these tales. We didn’t want to give reviews or race reports, we wanted to get under the skin and expose the passion that flows through riders veins.”
So far, 4 issues of The Ride have been published. The earliest two can be downloaded from their site for free. You can order their print copy via website for £9.50 if you’re in UK and £13.50 if you’re elsewhere in the globe.

After the ride I dropped by Bike 7, which is one of the bike shops that I often visit. They carry a neat range of downhill bikes and road bikes. Owner and staff are friendly and helpful. I learnt a great deal from them here.
Bike 7′s address: G/F, 49 Sa Po Road, Kowloon City.
Copenhagen is among the most cycling-friendly cities. The city’s infra-structure is designed with cyclists in the mind. This is a footage shot over a period of several months, showing Copenhagen is rush hours, mostly in the morning.
Okay okay, I know, this is not about fixed gear nor cycling. But since this is a nice piece of tutorial clip performed by two very skilled pretties who are generous enough to show us what they are made of. Plus the fact that skateboarding and fixed gear riding have so much in common. I say we break our rules for just one time. Enjoy!
