The sport is called Fixed Gear Freestyle or FGFS and it’s awesome.

Brakeless polo isn’t just for fixies. These kids take to the polo pit on BMX bikes and obviously not a care about the so-called elitism in bike polo. Obviously there’s no love loss between BMXers and Fixies, but this looks to be indication of common values. Here they take over the court and run shit.

The LBC, made famous by one of world’s biggest rap stars, Snoop Dogg, has come into its own in recent years. While you might imagine a landscape of rap video icons like low-riders and gangsters in house shoes, the community of Long Beach has become a hub of innovative companies and earth-friendly neighborhoods that show pride in their streets. The downtown area is booming with nightlife and restaurants, and activities have become a calling card for the city. It’s only fitting that a bike race become part of the offering…

While BMX gets a ton of attention for trick and freestyle riding, fixed gear is on the come up as riders have switched allegiances and evolved to bring tricks to the fixie. If you live in SF, you have probably witnessed it first-hand, but if not the guys from Fonseca, a small production company focused on fixed gear films.

Danny Macaskill’s talent has made its way all over the internet, since we last posted about him. Some 12 million views later, it’s not hard to imagine why the production company behind the video(s) decided to create their own outlet for their work, and the scene they come from. Watch26.TV is a high-quality platform, which they claim “will also set new standards in usability, video and player quality as well as user integration and comfort.” The site also just offers really fresh mountain bike video content from all over the world.

It’s not often that you’ll find us going on about a blogger, but sometimes you find a blog that makes you go “damn!” and immediately add to your bookmarks to keep checking. It’s the same thing I used to do as a kid with zines. Amazing Grace a/k/a Grace Ladoja is a filmmaker from London…

If you thought you were edgy by backpacking across Europe after college with little more than a Eurail train pass and a big beer budget then try heading out on a bicycle with only $2. In April 2001, Keiichi “Kei” Iwasaki of Japan found himself bored working for his dad and decided to set out for a big adventure across his homeland with only 160 yen (about $2) in his pocket.

Biking around the world seems so Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance, but Scott Stoll shows through his new tome that there is more to maintenance than spark plugs and gas valves.

“Race Across the Sky,” a new film about the 2009 Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, will premiere this October. The big guns, Lance Armstrong and Dave Wiens, are both featured, but the movie encompasses all the other cyclists as well.

Even though we’ve featured plenty of bikes made from everything from African bamboo to aluminum, this time we use the term “bike” loosely, but what the Yike Bike does is help personal transportation in a realistic way. It’s almost better than a bike, if it works the way it’s been demonstrated…

Half a million Danes ride their bikes to school or work each day and soon they’ll be able to use a bicycle superhighway to get there. The city of Copenhagen is investing $47 Million to offer cyclists smooth, even surfaces, no detours and service stations for air and tools along the way. While the city of Los Angeles is still trying to incentivize green transportation…

Long before the recession had the denizens of Los Angeles rethinking the way they got around town, bicyclists had already carved out a particularly large niche in local culture. Especially in more community-friendly areas like Silver Lake and of course along the beaches, bikes are a ubiquitous sight around town, the horrendous and downright terrifying L.A. driving habits of notwithstanding.

Sustainability has become a buzz word, but it seems that sports equipment has been left out of that loop, until now. Bamboo is a hearty material, a plant that grows anywhere in a short amount of time and is sturdy. So, the bike industry has taken a page from the bamboo bible…

I have a newfound respect for London Tri-Athletes. I was already impress with the idea of thousands upon thousands of sports enthusiasts multiplying their endurance, strength, and power in an event that equally test the body and the mind – but when I got to the race on Sunday and had a close look at the swimming dock, I had to give them some serious props.

The annual New York Triathlon kicks off its ninth edition on July 26th. The NYT is a must-do event for serious athletes: its an Olympic distance competition that, true to its name, combines three sports: a 40k bike race, 10k running event, and a 1500m swim.

This stunt is no joke. The mighty new crown prince of Dubstep loves his jumps like he loves his bass. When Joker is not in the studio concocting dance floor classics, you can find him riding and jumping the streets of his hometown Bristol on his 24″. We’ve been told that Joker is a bit of shy one when it comes to talking about his music as well as his bikes, so for now we’ll just have to settle for his beats tonight at Cargo in London town for Summer Bubblers.

We adore the fixie revolution for bringing biking to the forefront of hipster culture, after all it’s suddenly cool to ride a bike instead of an SUV. However every trend has its shark jumping moment, and maybe when my mom points out articles in the Times — the fixie thing is up…

This Cinelli bike frame isn’t just as light and high tech as it gets – it’s also the height of urban design, thanks to a remix by SF collective MASH and ace designer Benny Gold. Gold gives this dope piece of machinery a subtle yet high contrast look…

When it comes to bike safety there are few innovations that have arrived on the scene in recent years, however with the advent of lighting technology that has changed. Now, it looks like those night time rides aren’t so dangerous afterall. Lightlane is a safety…

The legendary Tour de France – the 2009 edition of which commences on July 4th in Monaco – is so much more than a mere bicycle race. In its ninety-six year, it’s certainly gone beyond being merely the premier annual biking event…
