SPIN
Talking about photos, I couldn’t pass on the great project of this hearty, funny and so talented Brit that I met a couple of times, professional photographer Mr. Ben Roberts.
The project is called SPIN, in collaboration with designer Christian Thümer at Signal | Noise, and showcases emblematic fixed gear bikes and their unique riders out of the streets of London. Ben’s eye is unbelievable, he knows exactly how to embellish a simple object in its natural surrounding, and the outcome is far from what I have seen so far. We are dealing with fixed gear, photography and art hands down!
The project is still in process so look out for next developments, bespoke illustrations and a planned book.

Tweed yourself up
The famous annual Tweed Run is coming up in London April 9, 2011. This event became so popular that it has been exported to Memphis, San Diego, LA, Melbourne and other major cities.
The principle is fairly easy, ride a bike with British elegance, so ladies go steal your grandmother’s tweed skirts and gentlemen have your mustache grow. And if you are into old fashion revival events, you can also participate to the ‘Béret Baguette’ Ride in Paris on May 21-22.

The invisible man
Really cool art for a great cause. “Making the invisible visible” from Brothers & Sisters agency and the Berlin-based street art collective Mentalgassi is a poster installation hidden in the streets of London in support of Amnesty International.
The poster is mounted on fence railings so that you can’t view it at first glance. You actually need to look at the poster from a certain angle in order to see it. The poster illustrates the face of Troy Davis, a man described as having “been on death row for 19 years in the USA, despite serious doubts about his conviction.”

Prévention Cycliste
Réalisée par l’agence Airside, cette superbe affiche de prévention pour les cyclistes Londoniens s’inspire du fameux manuel ‘The Joy of Sex‘. Le projet artistique avait été rejeté (bah pourquoi?) par les Services de Transport de Londres quelques années auparavant mais fait son come back à l’occasion d’une expo au Musée des Transports de Londres.

Fashion show
Pret a rouler was the fashion show held in conjunction with the 10th Anniversary of the Bicycle Film Festival in London. It happened on October 14 in the Barbican and it was mind blowing with special bike clothing, special riding from 14 Bike Co and some good vibes in the house! All that in video.
