Post-Tour Slump







Currently filling the empty post-Tour hours with bicycle films (and riding, of course). Stills from Jørgen Leth's documentary on the 1976 Paris-Roubaix, A Sunday in Hell, above.

Recommended Reading: Cabin Porn



This one is on my list of 'blogs to sporadically check and gorge myself on 3 or 4 posts at once'. If you've not been before, Cabin Porn is the go-to place for beautifully shot pictures of cabins, shacks, sheds, dens, huts & chalets of all shapes and sizes, as well as associated literature & gear. Fell in love with this place above and had to mention it here for safe-keeping. New Pastoral Review HQ?

Coloral




I love a design classic or a brand synonymous with a product unchanged for decades & the folks behind this nifty Kickstarter clearly do too. They're aiming to re-manufacture the long defunct UK brand Coloral's aluminium bidons - the kind of thing you would have seen a 1940's or 50's cyclist drinking from - at a metal fabricators in Birmingham. Quite snazzy, and yours for only a £50 pledge...

Buzzzz




Just noticed Buzz Rickson have overhauled their site. Some new lines on there I think and some lookbook shots with this guy.
