Beijing is hosting their 2nd ever alleycat next weekend, Aug 14th & 15th. Looks like they’ve got some fun stuff lined up and some sick art by Canadian/Shanghai-based artist Allister Lee. It’s gonna be a great event, big ups to the Beijing Fixed Gear crew!

Reality Studio recently skipped the traditional catwalk and opted instead to show their latest collection on the streets of Berlin - on bikes! Models donned pieces from the label’s fall/winter collection and cycled around the city center proving that you can be stylish and comfortable on two wheels. The girls toured Berlin on Electra Townie bikes, don’t they look great?

I contributed a little blurb to Urban Velo’s I Love Riding in the City column, Shanghai edition! You can read the full article here.

Luxury acessories brand, Liberty of London, has teamed up with Target to produce a line of apparel & home decor for the masses. Check out this fun cruiser for $199, not a bad deal. Makes me want to pack up my picnic basket, put on a ruffly dress and go for a ride! Would you ride this whip?

Get em here!

So gorgeous - I’d love one of these on my whip!
