A few of the chaps have been doing a night ride on Tuesday Evenings. We stop at The Victoria Hotel in Brunswick for the $12 Vego Bonanza. We start In West Meadows or Jacana and do 35 to 40k round trip. Everyone is welcome and details are posted on my Facebook Page Upfield Bike Path Cycling. 

Picked a fairly old road bike on Saturday - its a Gillam, does anyone have any history on these bikes??

hey guys..

im a new member to the site and was wondering if there is any clubs/ groups that involve vintage road bikes. i have recently done up my grandfathers Peugeot px10 road bike and was wanting to meet people that have done similar restorations. not sure if there is any vintage bike rides or meets that go on but any infomation would be good..

cheers

The boys at Just Ride It whipped this one up on Saturday, it's by far my favourite. 

This is a sexy fixie with delicious green trimmings :D It's $799 and fully customisable. …

So the boys at Just Ride It were asked to make a bike for The Williams F1

The Williams F1 track bike was ridden by Valtteri Bottas and the Williams F1 team this year which was pretty awesome!

Now people are all over them, with good reason of course! They are limited addition, I'm not sure how many we have left, check it out. …

So I've just started working for Fitzroy's freshest and sexiest custom fixie shop, Just Ride It. (246 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy)

Although I love every second of it, I'm still trying to get my head around it all. Working in a custom fixie shop is pretty hard when I know NOTHING about…

The City of Amsterdam has just released new figures on bike use - it's inspiring reading. Just when you thought they couldn't squeeze another bike into the place, cycling is growing.

This despite all the reasons cycling should never work in Amsterdam - wind, cold, rain, ice, snow, cobblestones, canals,…

I have attached a link to the Climbing Cyclist for those that wish to check profile.   A relative short climb but a definite leg burner.

Lunch, coffee etc at top.

Check out the following:…

With all this rain and floods around its hard to get out on a bicycle. Might have to jump into the car again if the hurricane storms dont stop hehe

A continuation of the first one...

20/2 2013  1748km. I put the bike together but the gears are not working very well especially on the larger rear rings. The cluster is wobbling from side to side because the freewheel is loose. I have put my spare wheel on for now which is working a lot better. I'll pull the other one apart later on and see what's going on.

Went for a quick burn to Diamond Creek and back and felt OK. I think my legs are recovering from the…

I love seeing bicycles in nice photography.

This one is from Michelozzo custom dress shirts and tailored…

I spent much of my research in biomechanics understanding gait patterns in children and adults, gait efficiency and injury prevention. Three years ago i began my journey understanding the biomechanics of cycling. A quick search of the literature revealed busy activity, but relatively limited value, relevance, and guide to bicycle fitting.

Bike fitting is gradually more acceptable word among recreational riders. Cyclists asking themselves whether bike fit is an important and necessary…

Just a bit of shameless self promotion!

On ya bike

Have seen alot of these vintage track fixies going around Melbourne these days, growing by the number each day. Alot of pink wheel rims, and orange tyres, and even mixed colours. Is it all getting a bit too much? When will they start riding the classic colours again?

Also, most of these people are riding them on freewheel model anyway, so im guessing they just like the look of the frame. Would most these people still ride a fixie if they included gears? hehe

Hi there,

THE roads will see an increase in bright lycra today as many commuters try out the two-wheel option for Ride2Work Day.

But for the majority, it will be a once-a-year effort when they don a helmet and pedal off to their workplace
