SKULL BIKE CLUB: February 2008

STAY RAD

SORRY doodz, know I havent been posting much, I got lots of stuff ready to go on the site (come on mike!) but heres something for the MeaN times.

Gloria's Loves Fixed Gear London!

The boys and girls over at LFG had a little do the other night at Gloria's to launch some limited edition T's and show a few photos. We went along to cheek it out, enjoy the free beer and have a good old fashioned bike perv.

I didn't take many photos but check them out here. So many sweet bikes and just about all of them fixed. Shits crazy here.

Winter Playground

Mark & I have been trying to keep the SBC spirit alive during the last few months but when its cold and dark motivation can be hard to find. So what better way to wash away the winter chills than drinking whiskey on the moon.
Check out a few pics of 2 of the rides we've had there HERE.
One of the nights was super frosty so we couldn't ride much but we still managed to cross the rope bridge and scale the castle.

Woah. More weirdness from John Zorn

Don't watch this if you're old, pregnant or lame...actually...watch this especially if you're old, pregnant or lame.

Here's a link to a site with a whole lot of archived avante garde films from the '30s, like the Man Ray one above.

Sheldon Brown RIP July 14, 1944 - February 3, 2008

Sheldon Brown was a bit like the guru on the mountain top: You'd struggle away trying figure out how to do something yourself before inevitably giving up and going to his site for some cyclical wisdom.

Sheldon encapsulated everything that was good about bicycles. His generosity has made sure future generations of cyclists will be able to do complicated bike stuff, like make geared fixies, without going insane. Don't forget to pour one out for lost homies tonight.

It's still raining outside...

...so check out Mike Giant's blog on his trip to Bologna. What an amazing place. For a naive wide-eyed boy like me, hailing from a backwater colony like New Zealand, everyday in a place like that would be seriously brain searing. He says next time he'll have his bike. Fuck yeah, I don't know how you'd get on without one. Whoa, it's not raining anymore, but the streets still look wet and slippery as. Might have to put away my bmx and pull out the fixie.

The definition of annoying:

A can of spray paint with only enough paint for 7/8s of your bike. Bastards.

Watch this if you like weird stuff...

...like seeing a one legged dude doing kung fu.

Watch this if it's raining.

Joe Cox knows how to put a video together. Check out the 360 on the first dude and there's some good freecoaster stuff from Dan Cox if you're into that sort of thing. Some of the music is a bit questionable, but you allways get a bit of that.

Stuff White People Like

Thanks to Rich Hirsch for drawing my attention to this site. It's great for a laugh and it's all sooo000 true! White people are lame. Arrgh! Anyway, we're supposed to be moving over the the dot.com soon, which is a better excuse for not doing proper posts than laziness. Oh well, I'm going to go buy some spray cans before they make them illegal.

Check out these cool pics:
