The next two days was pretty hard, everybody ride hard and the rout was not easy. The main race, the skid, and everything was very exciting, we had girls as well too. One of the best race was the Gold Sprint, where Sarah from Britain was the fastest!
The factory was a good choose, because only we was there and it was so free feeling, like in a festival and we don’t had to worried about the bikes, it was such a nice landscape… everywhere bicycles!!!
So the Finals on Monday was really exciting, in the foot down finals Sabrina from Poland was the only girl :) Here You can check the results
We had there the youngest messenger too, Izuru&Izumi from Nagoya took the 2 years old baby, He is already riding… and You can see his messenger bag… :) ) so cute

Bike Fashion Extravaganza – Hungary

May 14th, 2010 · Linda - Budapest · No Comments

After last September’s full-house fashion show and party at Merlin, Cyclechic, the after-party of Critical Mass, is back! The cycle-themed event on April 24th will be brought to you by the one-year-old cyclechic.hu website, having joined forces with MTV Switch and West-Balkán to celebrate everything bike and fashion related and show that long gone are the times when cycling was considered geeky and frumpish. The all-night extravaganza will kick off at 8:30 p.m. with not one but three fashion shows, showcasing the latest trends for you (and your two-wheeler) to savor.
