I like to ride my bicycle…

“Sup homes..? cheq d rims and spinners, banana seat, spiraled out springer forks, fully chromed up, 100 spoke white walls, supa low”

Yep that’s how your be speaking if you order one of these bad boy bikes… starting out as a cheaper alternative to the lo-rider Chicano cars that cruise the strip in Miami and now linked in to hip hop culture, skating, surfing and street style mixed up with retro Schwinn bikes from the 50’s and 60’s.

If you watch Miami ink, American chopper, Pimp my Ride etc etc etc then you’ll get a full appreciation of where these bikes are at… dude.

Ps: I got the chopper…its fuckin’ huuuge and doesn’t fit on my balcony so I have to take the fuckin’ outsize ape hanger handle bars off and the front wheel just to get it locked away every time I take it home after a day cruising the beach fronts of Barcelona….yep that’s me…

$165 to $800. If you order one from the USA to Europe remember that you may have to pay taxes, VAT and import duties (this can work out less if you order the bike in parts rather than as a completed bike) and there is a minimum order so get your mates in, basically the bike will end up costing you twice the list price, but still cheaper than buying through a euro dealer.

Argggh - you’re making me ill.


 
I have been kept in a hole in the ground and told to come up with the next big thing in reality TV and all I could think of was “Nude celebrity show jumping on ice”.
It’s slipping it’s way onto a TV near you soon, the thing is that it might not be a joke although at the moment it is …

Any way in the course of my research into fucking stupid ideas for our mindlessly prescriptive television companies I happened across a great little film that seemed to be the perfect metaphor for the insanity of our media rush, trend obsessed, give it to me now – faux health contrived life – yeah the one you are living at the moment – STOP IT!

“The road to Wellville” 1994 by Alan Parker documents the absurd antics of Dr J Kellogg (yes that’s right – Mr Cornflakes). The man took over a Sanatorium
Set up by the vegetarian nutters from the 7th day Adventist movement and ran it like a fascist colonic ant colony. The film captures the madness of the place and is very historically accurate these machines and treatments (including the therapy that basically involved Male doctors masturbating women) really did exist and the place was really like it is portrayed in the film thus proving, beyond a shadow of doubt, that fact will completely out weird fiction every time.
Funny and weird and therefore cool!

Hey you the rock steady crew…

Any one having seen the SONY robots dancing at trade shows will have noted how they don’t make jerky movements anymore… and neither does this geek in the orange shirt…

Wait until he discovers girls and beer and drugs….
