How does it feel like to breathe with everything?

I remember coming across these as I had to run out the door for my holidays last year, glad I came across them again. Mike Giant is a man with an incredible vision. An amazing artist, tattooist and philosopher. I'm just glad he rides, too. Here's a piece from his 'Cyclists of San Francisco' series. Quick, get over to Milan for his solo show, it will be huge and I can't wait to see some more pics of the show! Get the full lowdown on the Skullz Press blog.

Let's set our hearts to match the sun

Happy birthday Mr Steve Caballero. You are a legend, a hero and an inspiration. May you continue to soar higher and higher!

The thought of you lingers like the smoke that's drifting from my fingers

I told you that we could fly, cause we all have wings

Check this out, Mebourne's first all-girl alleycat. Death Becomes Her will happen on Halloween 2009, well, the Day of The Dead weekend, which is Halloween and All Saints Day and numerous other religious festivals around the world. It's a pretty sacred date: If the year is a circle, then this weekend is one of the Four Quarters. After Melbourne Museum, the only other place worth hanging around would be Stonhenge or Machu Picchu. Having said that, the only place I'd rather be would be anywhere is Mexico, celebrating Dia de los Muertos! Thanks Zoe and all of the sponsors... It's gonna be a great ride!

Sable & Argent – Closer look

Welcome to Sydney's latest caterer to the two-wheeled enthusiast, specifically those of a scooter and pedal powered inclination, Sable & Argent. Dropped in there this arvo after finding out about it through Le Pista Resistance, it was, apparently, the first stop on their Coffee Crawl ride (unattended, unfortunately, the Lady Cop is off the road due to a tequila induced incident and I was having too much fun riding around on a motorcycle...). I remember thinking, 'great, another euro or yankee shop catering to the discerning cyclist, well designed with great attention to detail that I'll never get to hang out in on a regular basis apart from Deus Ex Machina' until I saw the address: 74 Bourke St WOOLLOOMOOLLOO! Hey, um, that's in Sydney..!
So imagine the smile inside my mind when I walked in and spied a gorgeous Cinelli Vigorelli with B-43s and a Paul crankset mingling with a vintage Vespa, Biomegas, Spring Court shoes, a bookshelf full of design books and an espresso machine! Heaven! Well, almost.
That was the bicycle half (not mentioning the saddles by Busyman Bicycles, the workshop dressed up like a surgery room from House... I didn't actually venture over to the scooter half (there was a being on one of my shoulders screaming, 'scooters??? NOOOOOOO!!!'
Beside the fact that this is a Mecca for all Eastern Suburbs two wheeled types looking for a brunch surrounded by the most delectable eye candy, this is also a very capable workshop for all bicycle and scooter repairs, custom builds and the latest in bicycle fashion and couture.
What impressed me the most about Sable & Argent is their tagline, 'Anyone on two wheels is a friend'. A philosophy about which, especially in Sydney, we need to be constantly vigilant, and enjoy the comraderie which this will bring about. Sydney, where two wheeled riders, both motorised and pedalised, are a minority and need to band together for strength.
Looking forward to seeing what the breakfasts are like. Here's the blog. The address is above. The phone numbers and hours are (02) 9357 4699. Mon - Fri: 8am-7pm, Sat: 8am-4pm and Sun: Closed.

No, they won't be home tonight

Hot Ride

Thank you to everyone who came along to the opening, those who gave me this opportunity, those who had faith in me, and especially those who have faith enough in themselves to follow their dreams.

Thank you Melbourne.

Le Pista Resistance – Sydney Bike Polo

Lewis and Stefan have done a great job of establishing Sydney's Bike Polo scene, under the Le Pista Resistance banner. They have sorted a new venue: CarriageWorks in Redfern which is an old train garage and workshop which has been converted into a public space. Undercover, and lighted as well, which is great as winter is about to set in down under. Guaranteed fun! See you there Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons! More info on the Le Pista Resistance site...
