team | DEFEKT

How did the team start? Like a lot things in Czech Republic, with beers in hand. There was a little urge to make something, that’s going on in Europe right now (Germany, Italia, France). I mean strong teams of people, who love to ride bikes, suffer and compete in races. So we tried to ask some of our friends who could be interested in this format - to have a good time abroad, but also push a little harder. We are slowly starting. Where are you from? We are all from Czech Repu

Schindelhauer Hektor | Carbon belt ready

Hektor, The Schindelhauer racing machine is ready for anything you throw at it. The LoPro geometry gives a nice and aggressive riding position with no shenanigans, responsive in and out of traffic and the big aero down delivers as much style as stiffness for the power transfer needed on race days. The Hektor is as much about the big things as it is for the small details. The only way you could tell the frame is ready for belt drive is if you would dive in the dropouts. Integr

GIRACHA | Track Supermarket

Girl Gira translates roughly to meaning something that catches your eye. The name was kind of a joke but ended up sticking. Originally our name was Track Supermarket but although this works ok in english, ‘track’ means ‘truck’ when pronounced in Japan, so it seemed confusing. When did GIRACHA open and who is the baby on the logo? The shop originally opened 8 years ago and was in a small 3rd floor space of a building in Osaka. Recently, that original shop has been converted in

Mayhem

Mayhem hip pouch and tool roll is perfect for a light ride or as a complement to your backpack. The pouch has a perfect size to carry all the valuables in one place. It's big enough to fit, pretty much anything you would have in the pocket and more but not so big to bulk your hip area. It's nice to see brands not saving on material, the velcro on the Mayhem hip pouch is huge, covers all the pouch width giving that extra safety feeling. As a hardcore commuter I always look for

Everybody arrived early to get their start goodies and set up camp on the best spots. photo by Lukas Biba Festina partnered up with their GoldSprint series giving prizes for best man taken b

What is the brand philosophy behind BP? BIKE PUNK was founded by me in 2010 in the pulsating heart of Berlin, Germany.Before that time I made frequent trips to San Francisco, visiting my family. Always being a bike nerd I was instantly drawn to the vivid and huge fixed gear scene in the East Bay, with a wide variety of rider-founded bike shops and urban cycle lifestyle firms (e.g. Mission Workshop). My interest in the US fixed gear scene was even more sparked by the numerous

private collection | Jeremy, AU

My interest in bicycles started when I was a young kid. I actually grew up more focussed on other sports including football, sailing and golf. We always had 4-5 bikes handy between my two brothers and I. Both of my brothers were strong riders (I was never an A grade rider) and from a young age we saved up to buying good components, assembling and repairing our own bikes and occasionally visiting the ‘big smoke’ to visit Melbourne’s premier bicycle shops in the 1980-90’s. I al

From the love of riding bicycles to business owner. Cycling brings a lot more than just revenues, especially in times when fixed gear culture is almost non existing in the country. How did the idea for a bike shop started? FunBikes: We love riding bicycles and one day we have started thinking about our own business. When we were thinking what we could do in a different way we discovered fixed-gear bikes while visiting London. How was the fixed gear culture in Czech Republic b

The fixedgear scene started in Portugal around 8 years ago. At that time, most riders had an old road bike converted and not much more. Things have change since then. How did RG started: RG: About 5years ago I started RG only as a blog where I would post things about fixedgear and also parts that I would find and sell them online. Slowly I started to import new components and building more bikes to a point where I needed a place that would serve not only as a store but as a w
