  How to buy a fixed-gear bikeI wrote a little article for Complex on how to buy a fixed-gear bike. The majority of the tips apply to bike shopping in general.

  Fun event coming up from LOOPThe Project Loop is a pretty amazing group that among other things is teaching kids from the local high school how to build a pump track.

  Perry Doom flashbackPerry Mervar – AFA Austin, TX 1989 from 990Adjustments on Vimeo. I don’t feel like I get to see enough Perry Dooms these days (jumping from back pegs to grip ride).

  Fairdale on Bicycle RetailerFairdale got a little write up over at Bicycle Retailer and we appreciate it very much! Thanks guys.  I want to know why I have to get up so early for work if I’m retired. Check out the story here.
  JC and how bikes are made (now with working link)Jim Cielencki long time BMX pro and head of Sunday Bikes (and a Fairdale rider by the way) has an interview over on ESPN about making bike frames overseas. He’s my office mate here at OTX Design (which house’s the engineering studio for Sunday Bikes, Odyssey, and of course Fairdale). I found it really informative […]
