CYCLE MODE TOKYO (5)


Tokyo Cycle Mode 2009


Finally I uploaded a selection of my photos taken at the Cycle Mode Tokyo in December 2009. About 80 of them. I wanted to make it in several parts but hardly found the time to do it. I only did for 2 articles : for the Fuji booth and for the Italian brands represented there. Also I had a special selection of the photos featured on Wallpaper* but I had much more, so here it is.

In this article you can see a selection of the selection :) For more please check the album in the gallery : Cycle Mode 2009 or the slideshow with large size photos on Flickr : Cycle Mode 2009 Slideshow

Le Cannondale n'en est pas un, c'est un Trek (celui avec transmission par courroie).
Cette petite intervention me permet de dire que ce blog, découvert récemment, est excellentissime.
Bonne continuation, et en attente de tes nouveaux articles.

FUJI PROJECT JOURNAL - 1

Training is going on pretty well. Yes, the heat makes it harder but anyway it will be hot also on d-day. I do running, cycling and even some swimming sessions. Cross training is the best to get back in shape without hurting your body with repetitive routines.

BICYCLE SHOPS IN YOKOHAMA

It's been a while that I uploaded some bicycle related article here. So time to catch up a little bit. [an other article should follow tomorrow or monday]As I needed to buy some new tubes I visited the Y's Road shop in Yokohama. It was a good occasion to check their fixie corner. As I said in an old post this shop is not specialized in fixed gear bikes but more on road race ones. In this category they have everything you can dream of. As for the fixed gear bikes I was a little bit disappoin... Read more
