FIXIE FRIDAY

I'm not sure how this video flew under my radar, but it captures the freedom of a fixie rider enjoying the streets of Toronto.
Sometimes the simplicity of one gear can be an empowering and exhilarating ride.


Directed by Dylan Jones.

Happy Friday.

I LOVE ANGST

angst [æŋst (German) aŋst] n
1. an acute but nonspecific sense of anxiety or remorse
2. (Philosophy) (in Existentialist philosophy) the dread caused by man's awareness that his future is not determined but must be freely chosen [German]

First the frame sticker caught my eye and then the wicked Nike's

A cool coincidence is that this rider, who is a filmaker originally from Germany, was able to find himself on the world wide web. Gotta love Google.

Check out his TOMOSALOSAYORK project which will document his streetviews from his north american cities tour of Toronto, Montreal, San Fransico, Los Angeles, San Diego and New York City.

Welcome to Toronto.

I love Angst too.

Park benches and Pedal Paparazzi

Sipping my latte from the Communal Mule i've decided to park myself on a nearby park bench and breathe in the spring air while i engage in a bit of ,"Pedal Paparazzi". A splash of orange, and a slice of Toronto's cycling community cant hurt. We come in all shapes shades and sizes.


And we ride.

Cheers
