I’ve been closely following John Watson (Prolly is Not Probably) and the Mission Workshop crew as they make their way through China with the help of Factory 5. Check out the PiNP site plus @johnprolly and @missionworkshop on Instagram, with the hashtag #mwpinpasia. They are shooting some fantastic video and stills. I really love this…

The Red Hook Crit is tomorrow and I wish I was going to be there just to spectate (No way could Yeah You Ride even hang with those folks!) What started as a small event between a handful of friends to celebrate race director David Trimble’s birthday, has become the premier fixed gear criterium in the world….

The Loose Nuts fixed gear freestyle video Southern Safari just dropped on Vimeo. Their tour across 5 states stopped to shred in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Probably worth $8 just to see Nola spots. Peep the trailer and check out the Woldenberg/Moonwalk Hobo Hop at :50. From Loose Nuts Cycles: “Southern Safari is the latest Loose…

Made in China is now a mark of distinction, at least in the case of Factory 5 bikes. Born from the blood and sweat of my good high school friend Jeff Liu, the Canadian import Tyler Bowa, and partners, Factory 5 has been doing awesome custom frame building and classic restoration, while giving rise to…
