The Short History Of Cycling Anime
Click or not: The Short History Of Cycling AnimeEven to zealous devotees of the velocipede, the short history of cycling anime would have been thought to be much shorter before watching this video. However, relative to a single mainstream anime series, the volume of cycling related content is lower than peoples’ expectations for the Ghost In The Shell remake. While all but the… …

A Field In Portland
Click or not: A Field In PortlandA Rat’s eye view of the chaotic mire that was Portland’s Singlespeed Cylcocross World Championship. It must be noted that helmet cams always reduce the scale and consequence of wine casks and muddy ball pits.

Bernard Kerr’s London

Stepping On It At Minefield
Click or not: Stepping On It At MinefieldFlaunting more flow than a Biggie verse, Hawkes Bay’s latest trail Minefield looks silky smooth under the assured tyres of Brook Macdonald and Charlie Makea.
