Script & Seal posters
Wow, these would look great in my living room! These posters actually form part of a cycling piece for the Portland Mercury, and were the result of a collaboration between Nicole Lavelle and Portland-based design duo Liz Meyer and Gavin Potenza from Script & Seal.
Like ‘em? Good news is you can swoop here!

Ghettodrome
The lads over at FixedGearLeeds posted a couple of photos from a recent trip to the Ghettodrome (located somewhere “oop north”).

The spot looks completely sick! Apparently there’s an event in the pipeline. I can imagine some serious Mad Max-style sprints (and spectacular crashes) going down…
The road to Fast Friday
In support of the Cadence X DVS shoe shipping this month, DVS and Cadence have partnered up on a global racing event designed to bring out the world’s strongest cyclists.
With 12 major race events held in 12 major cities around the world, Fast Forward is designed to draw the global cycling community together and shed light on some of the best underground riders. Winners from each race will have the opportunity to compete in the prestigious final race, Fast Friday in San Francisco.
Here’s some footage from the Los Angeles leg, held at the Encino Velodrome this weekend.
Looks rad!
Six Days & Six Nights
“The first (six day) races were torturous marathon endurance tests, with individual riders racing 24-hours for six days, the winner being the one to cover the most distance over the six days. The races were often held in cold smoke-filled velodromes, the racers using alcohol, amphetamines and cocaine to help take the strain of 144 hours on the track.”
Sounds like your regular week. Read the rest of the COG article here.
Bicycle Film Festival 2010 trailer
Seriously Cape Town: we’re hosting the FIFA World Cup but we can’t get it together for the Bicycle Film Festival 2010? What’s up with that!?
The BFF kicks off in New York next week and makes a stop at pretty much every major city except ours. Maybe we can pull finger in time for 2011? In the mean time, enjoy the trailer.
