FIXED ‘n’ CHIPS 2012 from BÖIKZMÖIND on Vimeo.

“FIXED ‘n’ CHIPS was a fixed gear bike alleycat race here in Bristol, UK with each of the 5 checkpoints being a Chip Shop. The race was all based on points, so the fastest to each checkpoint would receive 10 points, the second fastest receiving 9 points and so on. However, each rider could choose to stop and order a battered sausage or pot of mushy peas and receive a special 5 points bonus points card. The risk in doing that lay in time… do you stop for a sausage or grab whatever points you can and try and get to the next checkpoint quickly for a possibly 10 points!?” – BOIKZMOIND

This looked like an absolute blast!!  Great job BOIKZMOIND for putting this on! Make sure to head on over to BOIKZMOIND to check out more about this rad event, as well as check out their other dope vid’s and gear!  Cheers!

Although I’ve never been a courier myself, I can feel the love.  It flows deep with courier homies, as well as cycling culture in general.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention Lockedcog!  Much appreciated sir!

This weekend in Dallas I ran across this rad outdoor shop that carried Element’s Emerald Collection.  I had no clue Element branched out into this AMAZING gear.  It’s a mix of urban x outdoor style that I really dig.  If you’re in the Dallas area, make sure to check out the shop link above.  For all else, check out Element’s Emerald Collection via the web.  I promise you won’t be disappointed.
