Falling 'in Like' with the aid of a bike

Twas at Clifton hill this morn, trying to find a bike seat,

at the Melburn Bicycle swap and meet.

Biding time in the $2 coffee line

i met a pommy lad clad with a skate...pad (board)

the coffee was strong the chit chat long

I fell 'in like' right next to my bike

with the funny brit who is moving to Bris in a bit

With a hug, we said bye bye, i feel really lame

Leon was his name.

It wasn't so long ago I said I'd never open up a bike shop - but I have learnt to never say never and the FYXO Hub is not a bike shop in the traditional sense, just a physical extension of this little place in the ether. Besides, the World's Best bike shop is next door.

Eating your way across Italy

Man cannot live on bread alone. Cheese, salumi and wine on the other hand.

World Famous

It's about time.

Drag out those stock piled parts from your man cave, bring your unfinished projects, eat drink and be merry.

I've been thinking

about a lot.

Now that I'm an uber commuter I have an extra 2 hours everyday to think.

Classic chase

In this modern society that is more accepting of a man crush and bromance I'm comfortable in admitting that Fabian Cancellara was in my top ten.

Happy Friday, Robbie.

No barriers, no tape, no press pass necessary and no RVSP. All area access to one of Australia's road sprinting greats.

Telaio Perfecto

I had the chance to meet the man behind the name in his own shop - Giovanni Pinarello. I can't speak Italian, Giovanni can speak no english - but we share a love of beautiful frames. I handed him a FYXO postcard and his immediate comment was Telaio Perfecto / Perfect frame. Something tells me he was not referring to the bike if the cheeky grin on Giovanni's face was any indication.

Friday Geography lesson

When I think of Estonia, the last thing I think of is bicycles. I think of Russian neighbours, bitter cold winters, beautiful women. Risto (from Estonia) sent me an electronical mail from this place I know little about.

In contrast, I'm sure Estonian's think of Australia as a hot and dry desert, with nothing but Kangaroos, Great White's and that we speak funny.

I am a two wheelin' delivery person

Courier or messenger. Whatever you call them the job is the same, the city and the routes change.

I've worked in London, Melbourne, Vancouver, San Francisco, and New York as a wheeled delivery person. In scorching heat, gusty winds, rain, sleet and snow. Yes, snow. Nothing stops a bike courier - especially those without brakes.

The Queen and I

Few cycling spectacles allow you get to this close to the athlete. So close the pro's could even spot the cupcakes, which 50 of them went faster than the peleton itself.
