    New Paths

    The artist is drawn to the cycle, whether it be the cycle of creation, of restoration, of expression. Some are drawn to the cycle of the cycle, the bicycle, as it represents art in its very form, and pure artistry when in physical motion application.

    911

    There’s still no car that tugs at the style strings like the Porsche 911. Classic shape, classic sound, pedigree plus. This example gets its utility on and ferrys its owner and his bike to the woods in ultimate style. It’s the dream car, repurposed. “The car and the bike are metaphors for each other, they… …

    XPDTN3 Goes Round The Lake

    The trails around Lake Tahoe in California are more commonly tackled on mountain bikes these days, but the three-day adventurers from XPDTN3 don’t care much for doing things by the book.

    Velodrool

    Now for something completely different. Sander Joon from the Estonian Academy of Arts produced this brilliant hand-drawn animated short film, ostensibly about track racing and cigarettes, but underpinned by a darker narrative.
