fast friday

For the occasion an event will take place in Shibuya at Uplink Factory. Uplink is an arty place in Tokyo with a small cinema theater, a gallery and a restaurant (Tabela, where my girlfriend used to work by the way). They tend to choose non mainstream content and they already did some stuff around the fixie movement with the movie "Pedal" (which was more about New York messenger having tuff life than fixie stuff). Now with Bicycle Film Festival they will promote this DVD.

There's a party on the Satuday 9th I may go. One more month to wait... waiting for this, still at Uplink factory, we can also look at a 2000 documentary about the tour de France...

OSAKA CYCLEMODE 2011 - TRIATHLON BIKES

Last Saturday I took the train at 6AM for a day in Osaka, needless to say it is very unusual I wake up before the sun in Japan but that was worth it.My plan was to visit the Cyclemode show in Osaka. Previous years you could see on my blog that I visited the Tokyo edition. Now I live closer to Osaka, plus that was a good opportunity to visit a little bit the city again. My first steps in Japan were in Osaka in 2005 but I haven't been back since then! Anyway I took of course lots of pics at t... Read more

RANDOM BICYCLES FROM 2011

I just found this folder of pics that I collected through the year. As I am living now in the countryside I have, needless to say (way) less opportunities to stumble upon cool bikes... So this kind of post might get seriously rare on this blog... unless someone is willing to share his bikes shots from any city of Japan! I would totally accept someone to post here if he wants... The blog is still very well ranked in google for searches about tokyo/japan and fixed gears/fixie etc etc... I am more... Read more

For those... Read more

TRIATHLON TRAINING, THE FIRST 2 MONTHS

Already more than 2 months have passed since I've started to train again.First month I focused on short distances on running, with 7 sessions around 5-6 km just trying to keep a constant rhythm but never trying to push it. I also added 6 cycling trainings and just one swim training.The goal was to reboot the body, sort of speaking, I just followed my feelings and never cared so much about the speed. I was just enjoying my return to the sport (I still do).I train often around Togo lake with my bi... Read more

Helle Frederiksen, pro-triathlete from Denmark presents us her equipment room, quite impressive (if you are into endurance multi-sports that said...)Now I wonder how she can keep it so clean! :-) Read more
