MAGIC BIKE!!

Factoid of the Day. Here is a little something I have spotted.

There is such thing as a MAGIC BIKE!!

As I viewed the video for David Guetta's Titanium track, I saw that they inadvertently released images of a bike that can change from right to left hand drive...

(appealing images taken on my phone of my TV..)

Left hand drive..

To right and drive..

This is huge news in the bike world! There is no way that this could be some lazy film editing and just mirroring the movie... its clearly magic.. nothing less.

These should be standard on bikes these days!

I think we need more wine and more bikes!

I am sure this idea can be adapted for bottles of cherry-ade for the young'uns.

Fact of the day: Most cats are left pawed..

Ritch@KR

Ohh this is just cool!

Saw this, now I want one!

Its a 'euro' skateboard. 

Must be a nightmare to ride..

Ouch, that's going to hurt...

... but look how strong the brake is!

This is a nasty crash in anyone's book but the Hope brake is super strong!

We have been stocking and servicing Hope brakes and other components since the dawn of time so pop down and see the guys that use, ride and sell Hope kit!

I run this model of brake on my bike and now I know they are stronger than me :-)

(There are some fairly graphic pictures on the link, just a warning.)

So what do you think of our blog?

We have been doing this blog for some time... about 9 months now :-)

After looking at the viewing figures its great to see we have just hit the 25,000 views mark. Considering that most of this blog is banter, that's not bad going in my book.

Anyway, talking of banter... here is some more and roll on the next 25k views and thanks for reading and getting involved :-)

Rowing a Bike?

Yes that is correct, Rowing a bike!

And yes, I want one!

This model is a stunner with Brooks saddle, grips and basket. I also like the green, works well in my opinion.

Check out the website and let us know what you think. There are also Tandem and Electric models. This is my kinda company!

Ritch@KR

WANT!

Think of the look on your neighbors faces when you mark your territory with this..

I want one of these for my office.. :-)

This bloke is alright at riding... Sam Pilgrim.

Jokes, this guy is epic. He just rips the place up. I am sure there are many crashes and spills that we don't see but lets just say hes better than most...

This is a little clue to the newest creation.

This is the same kind of bike I have just built. Mine is a little more.. alternative but i think its great. There will be a full wright up on it later in the week but for now I will leave you to mull over these pics.

I am going for the Adventure bike theme really and I am sure there are many of you out there that have a similar taste (or not) but let me know what you think of this one..

There is also a low res pik of the real bike. Give your guesses.. its not hard :-)

Need these... Star Wars Guitars

I do admit I create some random blogs sometimes but please believe me when I tell you there is going to be some more bike related stuff soon ;-)

Taken from the Metro as you can see.

DZR Shoes Now In Stock!!!

Check these out. They are great casual/riding shoes from a well established but cool company DZR.

They have a very clever sole that allows them to be stiff when cycling but flexible enough to walk around all day. They come in various styles but we will start with the mid tops. We feel this shoe range will be a storm in the UK and we have even ordered them for ourselves (me included :-) mine are on their way..) The cleats sit nicely in the sole so there is no interference when walking plus they are made from high quality leathers and fabrics so they are proper comfy!

With John Atkins Cycles being the only Official Leamington Dealer for DZR shoes you will need to pop in store to try them on even though they are sensible sizes. But if you want more information on the DZR range and what we stock give us a call on 01926 430211 or come and have a look.

Finally, completely off subject here is a tweet I found funny:

Tim Fowler (@timlibrarian) 22/03/2012 17:30 The big bottle of gin I bought earlier was £22 after the budget but I'm still going to party like its £19.99. Ritch@KR

Yummy

This is rather nice...

That is all :-)

Red Bull Mini Drome!

This has been doing the rounds for about a year or so but the Red Bull Velodrome is pretty cool and I am super pleased to see Chris Akrigg tearing it up... still!

Featured in the Metro Paper.

This Video is pretty cool, there are some funny crashes and some that look like they hurt. You will know what I mean when you watch it. :-)

Any ideas?.. Clue No.2

Ritch@KR

No prizes, just banter :-)

The answer will be revealed on Saturday with another clue on Thursday. Happy guessing.
