Archived entries for Other nice things

A Friday afternoon diversion.

Rad chick and fellow aesthete Miss Moss was kind enough to invite me to compile a guest post for her “Things I Like Right Now” feature. Props for making a bunch of Google images look super hot!

DVS Milan CTC Cadence – Cape Town launch

Having received favourable reviews from the fixed gear heavyweights, the extravagantly-named DVS Milan CTC Cadence shoes are finally launching THIS FRIDAY in Cape Town.

In addition to the launch, there will be a photography exhibition by Michael Tymbios, an exhibition of customised fixed gear bikes by Tobie Groenewald, a screening of the Fast Friday documentary, a bike race (with prizes) AND food and drinks.

See you there!

How much hipster can you pack into a Jazz?

Honda definitely aren’t the first car brand to align themselves with the “fixie” trend, but they’ve done it with tongue firmly in cheek. In case you missed this in my twitter feed last week, this viral purports that the Jazz really ‘fits anything you can imagine’.

Shut up legs!

Never going much for personal glory, always pulling himself inside out and back again for his team leaders, Jens Voigt is a hardman’s hardman.

Inspired by Jens’s work for Andy Schleck on the slopes of the Col de la Madeleine in stage 9 of year’s Tour de France, Studio485 thought it was right to celebrate Jens with print of a quote that’s become his calling card.

There’s a limited run of 100 prints, so swoop here.

Cycling in the New Yorker

Since 1928, The New Yorker has featured a bicycle-related cover art well over 100 times.

Richard Sachs has painstakingly collected, scanned and uploaded a gallery of covers onto Flickr to share with us. So far, he’s about halfway through. View the gallery here!
