(The following is an extract from a letter I wrote to my new bicycle. Don't judge me.)
Mi Amore. My sweet little Dutch-style butterfly bike. No other could hold a spoke to you. You're so cool, with your moustache (handlebars) and leathers (grips and saddles); your curvaceous frame (lugged steel) and 3-speed Shimano gears (guess that one explains itself).

The Festival of Thump

Pretend there's a psychoactive drug you can take to forget the swathes of douchebag 'tough' yuppie Dads who sport Deus t-shirts, and you'll awaken to find that - 'hey! this shop is actually pretty cool!'. They're celebrating 32 years of the Yamaha Big Single with vintage clothing stalls, yummy food, live music and also, um, bike stuff.

I'm staying in New York this month and I can assure you: one thing these people love - more than Whole Foods, more than pretending they go to the Met, more than pickles from Katz's deli - is not wearing a bike helmet. Why continue to live?! When your corpse can show East Houston Street what a quiff really looks like.

Fraser Studio, 10-14 Kensington St, Chippendale

Sat May 15, 1-5pm

Description:
Do you remember meeting Spoke + Spool? They turn vintage washouts into biking wonders. Adding reflective pieces, considering inevitable perspiration, even thinking about mapping and navigation, Spoke + Spool make awesome cycling clothes that promise no neon and no lycra. And, this weekend they're going to show you how to do it.

Sydney is a city made for cars. It always has been. Well, possibly not always - I'm fairly sure horses and their respective carts were quite the rage at some point - but that was many moons ago. Nowadays, it is the car that owns the streets. This however, does not always bode well for those among us that like to hop on the ‘ol bicycle.
What:
Three Point Turnz Autumn Picnic
Where:
Redfern Park
When:
Sat April 24, 2pm till dark

Free
Description:
Whether you like it or not, this balmy weather ain't going to last much longer. In two weeks time you'll be huddled under a blanket, teeth chattering and clutching your cup-a-soup. Which is all the more reason to make the most of the unseasonal warmth and wheel on down to Redfern Park this Saturday for the Three Point Turnz Autumn Picnic.
