Not a bicycle?

At what point is a bicycle not a bicycle?

Is this a bicycle?

Example 1.




Technically it's a quincycle.

I actually like this thing. It reminds me of a band Mark introduced me to that sounds like nerds falling down stairs with instruments:



Like one commenter ... um, commented: This band is the sickest shit since Mr Bungle you shitheads!

Example 2.
This looks like BMX, but the dude has no chain! Some of these folk even run front wheels front and back! Maybe I'm turning into some sort of farty retro grouch, but I can't see the difference between this and a scooter. Conclusion? The cycle bit is the important bit. Not pedaling not bicycle. Give this kid a freecoaster hub, because I only want to hate on him because he's waaaaaaaay better at BMX than me.

Custom Disc Wheels

This sort of thing gets me all excited. Mike Giant's customised disc wheel covers. I love the idea of customisable disc wheels. If anyone has any idea of how to make blank discs, please let me know!



Who's that bad cunt? My Vic Tunnel bombing get-up - it's toxic like Britney in there!

Something weird, something rad and something hot II

Technically, these could all come under the 'rad' category.

The best use of sand-cast bmx mag wheels ever.

Believe it or not this is actually the cover of a French BMX mag. Viva le France!

Giant condom-bike, no helmet: This dude's got his priorities straight.



If all cars were as cool as this they'd almost be worth it - of course they'd be even more dangerous than they already are.





Heather Graham. D'you reckon she wants to part of our gang? I'll write her a letter.

Poke In The Eye

I know the hearing the word extreme on NBC sounds as much fun as a poke in the eye with one of these but i saw this little video today and thought it was refreshing and worth a mention.



Here are a few other tasty tid bits for your eyes from the boys over at FBM.


Were also planning a ride on Sunday (the 16th) so stay tuned.

Hataitai Velodrome

Yesturday I rode out to Hataitai velodrome for a bit of a burn. To get there I had to ride through the Mt Victoria Tunnel. I’d heard that it gets real toxic in the tunnel ‘cause of the exhaust fumes and that it can turn into a wind tunnel if the wind is from the east or west. It was pretty windy that day – it’s the first time I’ve been stoked not to have an aerospoke or disc wheel.
Worse than the fumes in the tunnel was the noise. There’s a kind of tradition that you toot your car horn as you drive through the tunnel – that tradition sux. The weirdest thing about the tunnel was how warm it got at about the half-way point. It was like seven or eight degrees warmer in the tunnel than outside.

The velodrome is at the top of a mammoth hill and it’s real steep and concrete. My bike is set up for commuting, so I’m waaaay under-geared for a proper velodrome, so I was almost pedal striking the whole way round.




After a couple of laps, I bombed back down the hill and rolled into Rogatai to the local bike shop, where I found this sweet S&M cap.
