Can they not leave anything alone ?
I am all for promoting cycling, I think its literally the way to go.
But this annoys me. I can not really explain why

The Unipack OTP bike to acompany the style probably costs less than the outfit

that woman is a nerd

is her haircut like that to facilitate the insertion of her head up her own arse?

high res scan anyone ?

I love that geeky German look. They just look so geeky. And so German. At the same time. Das ist brilliant, nein?

in fix/3, did you notice that one of the bike is merely a geared rigid mountain bike?

I feel animosity towards them.

I don't understand what is worse about these pictures than other articles. Please explain.
Oh and "she" is a good friend of Ephraim and came to the Shoreditch Invitational.

.....eeeeeeggggzzzackly!

(re: Tyan's post)

it's not about riding your bike anymore, it's all about wearing your cap at a jaunty angle.

can't decide if it is better or worse that they don't all have fixed wheels...they do look like they want them though.

They're not full time professional models pretending they can ride a bike, while wearing *Street*LabelWhatever™'s Spring Collection... so what's wrong with a mag interviewing some peeps about they're lifestyle. I'd read it, maybe.

pic 1. and 4. is dustin from cicli berlinetta he seriously knows his stuff

they're actually kids that hang out on the scene in berlin though. the first page is dustin, the guy who owns cicli berlinetta. the geeky girl is julie, who was over in london for the polo tournament. not sure about the other ones, but i've see them about.

i'd read it if there lifestyle was somewhat interesting, i have no idea maybe they have nobel prizes, but tbh i think they all wish they had less gears.

It's annoying that all the clothes are going to be shit, in the finest tradition of Bench. I would love to see some cycling specific clothes from a street wear label, a la the CCCP stuff (I think that's right, it's the stuff that Tokyo Fixed Gear sells).

Oh come on, my german counterpart wouldn't be seen dead with those glasses.

You think you know that from looking at those photos?.. What they wish they had.

Do you think they want to be you?

Oh come on, my german counterpart wouldn't been seen dead with those glasses!

ha. very good.

Ed, don't make me get the squirrel mask out.

Did hippy steale germanlpg's bike, and paint it WAC yellow? :D
