Dings Trapt Af – Bicycle Exhibition
Dings shows off the story of the contemporary function of the racing bike & trackbike in a mash-up exhibition! Old versus new, retro versus urban, function versus fashion, design versus art, profession versus hobby > Bike messenger or hipster? Fixed gear or singlespeed? Track riding or bike polo?

Participants:

Location
Dings Pakhuis
Bergstraat 12

Anyway it’s a piece of art!

And probably I get a couple of emails tomorrow if I can remove this one also but that’s not gonna happen! I think it’s beautiful!

O.k.,  I had to edit the complete post because e-mails kept coming in. It was all a bit to soon. I had to remove the (beautiful) flyer. And they send us a new text to put on this site. So here it is;

“EHVFXD presents 2 on 2 Bike Polo tourney”

We got this mail from our friends in Eindhoven if we would post this marvelous flyer because they are organizing a bike polo tournament. And of course we will post that so here it is:

In order to organize a little bikepolo tournament you have to know how many teams will join. Make some poules, etc. As though the “real” flyer isn’t ready yet, but the 10th of october is here’s a little preview, so that you know you will have to come to Eindhoven to play some bikepolo!!!

Please send an email to: e-mail address to register your team!!

And probably the guys in Eindhoven mean by; “you have to know how many teams will join.”. They have to know how many ……………

From what I’ve heard, and so this must be true, rumour is that there is going to be a big bicycle event in Eindhoven next month. With massive paaaaaartie so apparently it has got something to do with the guys from EHVFXD, Tour de Ville and Rollapaluza. I think we ought to get more info on this as the guys from Lightcity/Rockcity are entitled for some bikepolo rematches. And we ourselves are definitely in for some rollerracing. Whaddaya say Fuccit should get involved in all of this, huh? I’ll see what I can do.

So in the first time in our existence we went abroad to play some bike polo. With seven of our crew members we went to Eindhoven to meet the other crew. We didn’t know the guy’s and were a bit nervous, what if they are total dorks (which you find often in Eindhoven). But it was the opposite the guys were really friendly with the same kind of attitude we’ve got. So it matched really well and we played some good games.

So thanks to Eindhoven! And we meet each other in Arnhem I presume?

It was really good to see some of the guys from EHVFXD also showed up and played some bike polo, thanks!

Ok it’s all set tomorrow (sunday) we take the train of 12:54 on track 8 in Arnhem and we meet the guy’s from Eindhoven in front of the train station there. See you all tomorrow!

So who is in for a polo match against the guy’s from Eindhoven? We have three train tickets from our sponsor so,  share the cost (if there are more candidates) proportionate?
I told the guy’s in Eindhoven that we will be there between 14:00 and 15:00. We got to figure out which train to catch and we got to know where to meet so I’ll keep you guy’s updated.

Well now I’m at work so Ill keep it short again but will make that up to you tomorrow. But Le Haute (the race organizer) has the results on his site (and this is the first time I’m a bit reluctant to link him ).

I have to thank the people from Tour de Ville and Mr. Le Haute for organizing a motherfucking badass alleycat yesterday! I never rode that bad in an alleycat, and got lost so many times, but i had a very nice night! The Food & Design checkpoint had some very tasty and cold beers waiting for me, so i stayed there for half an hour. There should be more alleycats with bars as a checkpoint, since i’m always one of the last people to finish, so i better have a good reason to finish last (read: drink beers at checkpoints and talk to beautiful ladies).
And the afterparty had the best 1,- euro cocktails ever! Skitch, Prince Bram IV and i got very drunk on those! Had a hell of a time with some friendly locals and the guy from Cinelli!

Retry in Rotterdam?

Cheers,

Votske
