AURORA collective teamed up with MONOW, a one-man design studio based in Stuttgart/Germany.
Together they designed 3 unique Bike Jerseys / Jackets. All with a simple but sophisticated style,
because they don’t wanted to create something that makes you look like a advertising pillar.
The designs will look good on and off bike, whether you ride in the mountains or in the urban environment.
The Jerseys and Jackets are made of high quality materials by Champion System.
They will move and breath with you, so that you can concentrate on riding your bike.
Each design is available in a shortsleeve and longsleeve version and you can choose from fullzip or 3/4 zip. Also each design is available as a Winter Riding Jacket. This jacket is windproof and got a three-layer fleece. So it will keep you warm even in the coldest situations.
Check out the AURORA webshop and preorder your Jersey / Jacket.
The jerseys will be shipped in the beginning of july.
Inspired From Tracko’s“Save The Track Bike!” pins, we bring you “Save The Bike Messenger!” pins. The pin speaks for itself. Bike messengers perform miracles every day. The last few years messenger companies and indy messenger alike have felt the effects of the economic state. We as messengers know our importance to the city we work in. Most companies take us for granted and don’t realize how important we are to the community. This pin pays homage to all the messengers around the world working day in and day out for the love of pedaling and pushing packages.
Seit ein paar Tagen ist auch endlich Kiel mit einer Fixed Gear/BikePolo Website am Start. Sieht gut aus und reinschauen lohnt. Die Jungs treffen sich regelmäßig Freitags um 18 Uhr beim Starbucks in der Stadt zum fahren und immer Sonntags um 13 Uhr im Citti Parkhaus.
Interessierte und andere Fixed Gear oder Rennrad Piloten sind gern gesehen.
Dazu haben sie auch gleich noch etwas PR für das Fixie und Bike Polo gemacht.
Zum einen im TV für den NDR und auch für eine regionale Zeitschrift.
Berlin is proud to host the 2nd Annual World Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships!
This event will bring 64 of the best teams from around the globe for a three-day tournament to Berlin. The event will be held at the four-court Sportcenter Rennbahnstrasse Berlin-Weissensee! This years’ event is being organized by the same crew that brought you the Bike Polo competition of last years’ 14th Annual European Cycle Messenger Championships at Tempelhof Airport.
Other highlights of this years’ event will be on-site camping and hostelry (including showers), lighted night-time play and attendant night-time tournaments, complimentary breakfasts, and unspeakably low prices for food and beverages at all other times throughout the course of the event. All of this will be included for the reasonable entrance fee of 60 euros per team.
How can i introduce SWRVE in a appropriate way?
I think the title speaks for itself, but it takes some more words to describe this kind of passion:
“A late-night ride though a nearly deserted downtown. Casual rides to run errands.
Whizzing past rush-hour traffic. Fighting traffic as stress relief.
It is in this spirit that swrve was founded in the summer of 2005. We are passionate about
bikes but we don’t look so good in spandex.
Swrve makes stylish urban cycling apparel. Our design concept has always been clean and simple
lines. Form follows function, a dash of elegance and a dash of street.
We love riding in the city.”
- the founders of SWRVE
Today i got my order from the SWRVE base in the UK. Only took around 3 days to arrive. I’m amazed by such great workmanship and the passion SWRVE puts in every piece. Everything is well designed and with so much intelligent details.
I ordered a cotton trouser, a short with DWR, merino baselayer and a hiding hoodie.
All handmade in the US, with the best materials and also awareness for fair trade and fair working conditions.
And the best thing: the prices are reasonable, too.
Had the trouser, hoodie and baselayer on for some rides today and the performance was great. The weather wasn’t that good, about 13° and really windy, but the cloth kept me warm. Not bad.
You might have heard about VELO CULT, it’s a great source for classic bikes and bike culture in general. They also have really nice shop, where you can find rare parts and really beautiful bikes. Sky, the founder, also loves to take photographs and the last few years he made a lot. From framebuilders, bikes, events or anything related to the bike community he took pictures and now he will release a huge photobook with the best shoots.
Check out the following previews of the book and stay tuned. It will be released pretty soon…
Grad eine Mail bekommen.
