Many apologies for the absence… So many fun things happened this year since I moved to Berlin. The sun is setting earlier. The air is dark and chilly. Woah it’s already December! The end of a year. So a catch up. One more big party is coming up for your all year conclusion! I need more girls to race! ( ´艸｀) 〜♡
+ + THIS FRIDAY December 9, at Keirin Cycle Culture Café. Roll at 8:00pm + +
Pioneers of the global fixed gear bike culture Keirin Cycle Culture Café and Rollapaluza come together for the first ever Rollapaluza roller-race in Berlin.
Keirin Cycle Culture Café is recognized worldwide as the first ever “fixed gear shop” having first opened back in 2004 as a hangout for their messenger mates (all members of Keirin and Rollapaluza are ex-couriers), selling them coffee, bikes and parts and mending their bikes. ( http://www.keirinberlin.de/ )
The first Rollapaluza roller race was held in a pub in London in 2000 and Rollpaluza involves two riders racing over 500 metres on custom built static roller-rigs with their progress displayed on a huge dial and their times recorded by split-second digital timing, all to the backdrop of cheering crowds and pumping music.

Took a trip to Kuala Lumpur two days for work and stealing some time to visit Grafa in Selangor before Kuala Lumpur International Fixed Gear Tournament 2011 started. Lucky enough to meet up with Jjay from Singapore and also my partner Gibranos from Woof Jakarta, who got there early before me.
With Jjay “KatTheNovice” Ali, Candy Cranks Singapore Author.
Grafa is such a nice and cool place, a design studio and bicycle cafe, friendly people gathering and they have the greatest ice cappuccino which get me through the hot day. The sad part is I can’t join everybody for the Tournament, because I have to go back to Jakarta for work, well good luck for all boys & girls who participate the KLIFGT 2011 , see you again soon!
We are a sassy social cycling club that meet every Tuesday to cycle our city. We keep a steady pace and aren’t afraid to work up a sweat. But we don’t race, we just ride, and we look pretty cute doing it. If you’re keen, here’s the lowdown:
WHEN: Every Tuesday, leaving from Taylor Square at 6:50pm WHERE: Alternate weeks of Centennial Park laps and routes out of the city limits (Mascot, Marrickville, Bondi etc) BRING: Lights, helmets, water, coins for pick ‘n’ mix pit stops, and your favourite cycling gear (wear your lycra – especially if it’s of the fruity 80s variety!)
On the first Tuesday of each month we have a special group dinner after riding, somewhere cheap and cheerful in the Surry Hills region.
Be prepared to have a shit load of fun, look and feel great, and hang with like-minded babes who love cycling as much as you do.
This made the morning news in Tokyo. Apparently some pranksters at the University of Tokyo (Todai) went on a bit of a saddle swiping spree and left a free gift of broccoli for their victims. This happened last month without much issue, but a second round this month had the police involved and pressing charges. The saddles were recovered, by the way.
These events seem to have inspired a bit of a trend.
this appears to be chikuwa, a kind of fish cake that is very yummy
