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.
Check whbpc2010.org for more information.
Btw. Münster got his own bikepolo team aswell, check the site 321bpm.de (only german language).
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.
Maybe check out swrve.co.uk when you are from Germany / EU
or swrvecycling.com when you are from the US and give them a try.

“fixed city“, a documentary film about the development of Berlin’s fixed gear scene over the past years, is shown in Dresden next weekend. The guys over there set up an alleycat therefore, so don’t miss this fine event if you are around..
There is something going on in the bag biz. Messenger bags are everywhere and most of all those little companies really work well and produce great bags. Messenger bags are mostly near perfect for what they are, but what about people who don’t like to carry things this way? A backpack helps, but there are a lot possibilities to develop a backpack for a urban rider. For me the MASH backpack is great, it offers a lot and there are many great ideas in this bag. But the lack of waterproofness is a huge contra for me. Maybe they will release a V2 sometime in the future…
Until then there is not much available in this section. Ortlieb Messenger Pro (or Velocity) is a great and quality bag, but its not really versatile and pretty inflexible. Some messenger bag companies offer backpacks aswell, never had the chance to test one of those monsters, but i’m not sure about them. Mostly these are just really really large bags, where you can put a dwarf or two in, but they don’t seem practical for someone who don’t want to carry just big and pretty much stuff.
Some might notice that i really like bags/backpacks and so i revisited the website of Mission Workshop from SF some days ago to check out what they have to offer.

The guys from Stuttgart Fixed Gear tested the Svevo Metisse in a nice session. Check out their short video-edit and the pics.

Sounds like a good event.
