Skitch and I aren’t the only ones who like to take their fixed bikes to the woods! Slumworm likes to get dirty too!

I spotted this new trick frame from SE and Us Versus Them on ZLOG. I like the detailing with the curved seat tube and the curved chainstays, so you can run big fat tires…

I was asked for a photo shoot and interview for Holland’s biggest sneaker website, Lacebag.
So if you’re bored, go there and read my 5 minutes of fame!

Finally an article that’s not about how dangerous and reckless riding a fixie is, like almost every article here in Holland.

If it’s not fixed, it’s broke, by Mary Buckheit:

There’s a new fix-ture of urban living. 
Just as bulky SUVs and expensive luxury vehicles have lost their cool with the kids in the city, so too have mega mountain bikes with tiers of teeth, and carbon-fiber, gazillion-geared, Tour-de-Finance roadsters.

Stand on any street corner and you’re bound to spot a sporty and simple breed of speed. They’re everywhere — sewing through New York traffic, circling the squares of Boston, flying down San Francisco hills and hanging from the hooks of Portland’s public transport.

Though fixed-gear bicycles have been experiencing an urbanite riding renaissance for the past decade, they’ve been around for centuries and obviously preceded their multispeed brethren. (The first Tour de France was staged in 1903. Roger Lapebie, who won the Tour in 1937, was the first to win it on a geared bike. You do the math.)

Henri Desgrange, the originator of the Tour de France, and tyrannical cycling purist, is known to have denounced multispeed bikes, saying, “I still feel that the variable gears are only for people over 45. Isn’t it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft. As for me, give me a fixed-gear!”

The article is a lot longer, and you can read it right here. Don’t be scared, it’s a good read!

According to the Fuccit Team Members page we’ve got this guy called Iron Aden. And I know that he’s a fixed gear rider too. But here, the name is spelled all wrong and the bike in the video has got gear. So how did they come up with the idea that Eden is fixing her bike. Just doesn’t make sense, does it?

And I say fucc it, like I care if it’s o.k.
