...and speaking of keirin berlin



It seems Mo is having a perfect time in Japan, still. See him in the back, giving a hand with the fork, at the Bomber Pro workshop. JEALOUS for for such a deep insight into Keirin Culture! Best wishes to Tokyo!

I want a trash-bin with a keirin-number-decal, too!



Speaking of numbers, they also have limited number-stickers, here.

Sick. Nice. Inspiring. My knees hurt from watching them ride those hills.

I came across this one on CWMD, and my first thought was - "Oh he found another "chicksonbikes", "girlswithbikes", "bikesandboobs", "ipostbikeswithgirlsonflickr" or so photolog. I was wrong. It's yet another try at getting more attention for a bike-related ebay-item. And what shall I say?
It worked out just as great as the good'ol moots, because here's the link to ebay. Another butt behind the jump, and I certainly like that butt much more than those bikes.

I sometimes drop by VeloDramatic for some nice bike-related photographs. And boy, this time I wasn't left unhappy. I love this photograph in particular. Taken somewhere close or in the deathvalley. I confess, I did not read the text, because I always went back to take another look at this photograph.


here's the link to the posting

Best part, there are prints available on request. Maybe you'll find a shot you'd really like to hang in your shop or at your desk. So you'll have something to look forward to at work.

I am curious how this one will turn out. Even though, I was a bit surprised about seeing this ride turn into a filmed documentary. I thought the CTRS blogposts, which I enjoyed reading, were it. So hearing about a follow-up movie is cool, but it also left a bad taste in my mouth.
No bad respect, but it just seems as if in todays media-saturated times, things only become really meaningful/worthwhile, if you can share it on the world wide web, or have it on tape and make a movie. Kinda funny. Ok, and now I'll shut up and keep on looking forward to seeing this. ;) link
