Natooke Fixies

Mittwoch, Mai 5th, 2010

More Natooke fixed gear bikes. It is getting busy here at this unique Beijing bicycle shop. Chris seems happy to have his new bike.

Then my friend and bike performer Zhou Chang Chun came by to say hi before he had to go to the train station to go back to his hometown in Dongbei.

And then later that night I finished putting together Julius bike. He did not mind to have a beer before the final adjustments were done. But we need to find a fridge now that the weather is getting warmer so that we actually have cold beer.

But he was also happy to ride away down the Wudaoying hutong.

Beijing TV on Cycling being Green

Mittwoch, Mai 5th, 2010

Wang Ying from Beijing TV came to my shop to interview me because she is the host for a show on environment and green topics. Of course in front of the rolling camera she said that she does not bike and would never want to cycle herself. The cameraman then stopped the camera and said she cannot say that so we re-did that part of the interview. Even though her job is to host this show on green topics but she was really offended when the cameraman proposed to buy her re-usable chopsticks because she said she is not such an environmental person. She does not care about green. But she is doing that program. She should change her job. I love TV.
