FIXED GEAR ON TWITTER! (2)


fixed gear japan


Today I setted up a new account on Twitter with the user name PignonFixe. "Pignon Fixe" stands for "Fixed Gear" in French.

fixed gear twitter


So, what is it about ?

This twitter account is automatically feeded by blogs RSS feeds. I collect the blogs url/RSS and then using tweeterfeed.com, when a new blog article is published, the PignonFixe twitter account tweets it!

It is that simple. I think it's a great way to follow the news about one subject. I must say I shamelessly stole this idea from Japan top blogger Neil Duckett who created such an account grouping blog about Japan : Japan_Blogs.

It is really good to spread an article and then attract new readers on our blog or site. And as a follower we receive the last news in real time!

So if you have a blog dealing with Fixed Gear stuff, just post a comment bellow with your RSS url or tweet me or send me an e-mail at : jeromesadou [AT] gmail [DOT] com. I will add it to the list.

FUJI プロジェクト- 練習

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. With cross training all our muscles got involved one day or an other so one can get in shape in a smoother and less traumatic way.I start to feel better and better. Saturday I took the Fuji Track Comp and rode from Yokohama where I live to... 続きを見る

横浜の自転車の店

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... 続きを見る

TOKYO FIX IPHONEアップ

Today I downloaded the Tokyo Fix iPhone App. It was released just recently by Ollie Magazine, a street culture mag it seems. The app costs 230 yen which is reasonable. Here are some screen-shots showing you the main functions of the app.                                                      &nbs... 続きを見る
