There is an art exhibit all around fixed gear bikes. They will display bikes and spokes cards as well as photography. It will start on February 1st in Berlin and on February 2nd in Los Angeles. Also three of my photographs of my single speed bike will be displayed. Drop by if you are near Berlin or Los Angeles.
Tokyo has a big scene of track bike riders riding on the streets. When I arrived I saw one guy, but I was on a bus so I could not stop and talk to him. Well even if I had not been on the bus the probability that he would have been able to understand what I said might not have been that high. Yes, that is because I do not speak any Japanese. That makes things harder here.
After I came out of a nice basement restaurant near Roppongi on the lamp post right in front of my was this nice Bianchi Pista fixed gear bike. I do not really like the color (this is the standard Bianchi Pista color), but I would rather own that then none. Well, I would not add that brake on the front tire…
But I still have no track bike yet. I have been searching for the right solution for many months already…
Maybe I should not have drunken so many cook-tails with weird names…
Today the weather was really nice with sunshine and clear sky. The temperature was high so I decided to go out and do some tricks on my fixed gear bike. The bike is an artistic bicycle. I am looking for a nice track bike so that I can try some tricks on that kind.
So many people have blogs nowadays. 2008 started and I did not have one yet. But now I do.
Not sure what the focus will be but I will cover topics about Asia or China and also about outdoor sports like rock climbing, unicycling and fixed gear bike riding, hopefully uploading some interesting shots. I would be happy to hear your comments.

This video is an old short film from 2000. I had it done as a promotional video to get into an international circus or variety theater. That is why I am wearing that costume. I never thought that it would become really popular on youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MiE1Qm7HSd8
