PRET A ROULER Bicycle Fashion Show -
We're taking over the Barbican tomorrow night to bring you the very best in Non-lycra cycle clothing from around the globe. The show is happening in conjunction with London Bicycle Film Festival and Barbican Lates. Addmittance is FREE and we do hope you will come a long.

The event represents a whole raft of UK, US and Japanese talent and runs pretty much the spectrum from the big brands, Rapha Paul Smith and Christopher Raeburn thought to our lovely Japanese freinds at Pedal.Ed - who only have production samples! Its going to be rad.

Additionally you should all come cheer on the trick riders from 14 Bike Co, Tom Pande (winner of Bricks to Brix) and Chris Delia as they are the FIRST riders to ever be allowed to perform TRICKS inside the Barbican. On a custom built 10 foot Flatbank!!

So come show some love for our local designers, check out some cool clothes from far off lands and cheer like hell for some awesome Tricks.

Show starts at 8pm and is next to the main bar!

Hey what time does this go on until?

When i volunteered for this didnt realise i would be backstage shouting at people! Good fun and glad it went so well. Looking forward to seeing it on video.

first of all, thank you. Thank you all for your time, patience, your hard work..for everything, To all of my volunteers, Michael (laner) I didn't expect you to be a caller, thanks for that..good job.

To all of my lovely model volunteers - you were stunning, you sexy things, the photos are brilliant. Big thanks to two super cool young men, Jordan and Gus from 14 Bike Co, for all the tricks and to Chris Delia for showing off his killer skills and making sure the audience was well entertained.
All of you, seen or unseen were such a massive help. I am sure the video is going to be amazing, and can't wait.

LASTLY a few wee notes:

• if anyone picked up a olive coloured rapha bomber in size medium, I'd really like it backk - my house keys are in the pocket!

• Kristian's silver bracelet and teds hat went away, so if you have them, let us know.

• If your missing a Black Addidas jumper - I have it.

• Wee Scott, little john has your things...

and to Chris Delia for showing off his killer skills and making sure the audience was well entertained....

rofl!!

This was brilliant fun and a great way to launch my modelling career. Beware mashtron.

I also elected to ride off the stage, but thankfully managed to not do the forward endo!

Can't wait to see photos and videos. My mole in the audience, Tori, gave the whole show a great big thumbs up.

Props to all those who managed to turn left.

Ben mentioned in another thread that photos were being uploaded. Any chance of getting them before the end of the day? My colleagues are literally falling over themselves to see the evidence.
