My good friends from the band ALIAS CAYLON made their first music video. They are playing for about 9 years now and toured a lot. Until now they only released two albums – the second in february 2009. They got tons of positive reviews so far and really deserve to be noticed. 
For me the video is a first step to a much wider audience. 
They will be on tour around november:

 
When you like bands like At the drive in, Samiam, …. and something that sounds really different.

Since velcro straps are pretty comfy to ride with, but pretty expensive and mostly made for platform pedals, my girlfriend and i decided to make our own. High quality, but for a better price and of course fitting for road and track pedals. We are working and developing the first versions and currently testing the prototypes shown on the pictures. The first impression is pretty good, they feel pretty good on the road and seem to be very durable. 

We only used high quality fabric for industrial use, all fabrics we use are made in germany.
The designs and colorways are just ideas, we will work on this aswell.
As you can see on the pictures we got two different versions for now, not sure if the one with buckle will be produced but it is nice to easy tighten the strap with that technique. 

Tell us what you think about them… and stay tuned.

Not much of a fixed gear scene over there, but there is one guy trying to establish some kind of onlineshop in the next month. Hopefully this will help to build a scene in the future.

He runs a nice blog and is a friendly guy. Get in touch with him, when you are around.

Check his blog: The Ride Projekt.

But there are some nice street artists around town, hopefully i can see some of their works on the streets.

Fixed Magazine Issue 4 is coming soon!

The rose city fix event in portland last weekend was a huge thing. so many riders showed up to celebrate another book release by photographer Brentan Salo and of course to take part in this event. a lot sponsors and great organisation by pedal consumption, gomeansgo and rcfix.

Alleycat, trick contest and footdown competition with around 60 competitors.
really sad that the german scene isn’t that strong yet, but we are working on it.
btw. started www.msfixed.de to build a scene in münster. check it out.
