FRAMES - Dan Powell
"Focusing on urban cycling, PDW produce some really well rounded parts, in aesthetics as well as design, and are for cyclists who want to maximise the use of their bikes for daily use, with accessories like bike racks, and fenders. But they are probably best known for the famous 3wencho compact spanner / tire lever / peanut butter knife, which takes a nod toward the well loved Campagnolo tools of old. Any companies that makes products to keep fellow cyclists pedaling, gets the thumbs up from us.
We caught up with Dan Powell and put some quick questions about what they have been busy with and what exciting ideas they have coming up."

FRAME - Corbett Rowell
"In a slightly more cycling orientated area of Hong Kong, along one of the more well known cycling routes here, is Velocity Racers, a shop that sells the not so obvious form of personal transport that is a recumbent bike. When we found out you could get up to speeds of 100km/h much easier than a conventional road bike, we had to find out more about it.
We met up with Corbett Rowell who has a background in engineering, runs and owns Velocity Racers, about how he got involved with this type of bike, riding around with one and his mission with opening the only recumbent bike shop in Hong Kong and China. Touring the shop, we got to see some real amazing pieces of engineering which we get Corbett to go through and explain the engineering behind the bikes and how they manage to get up to those crazy speeds."
The Way I Roll - Gina Marie Scardino
"King Kog bike shop owner and drummer Gina Marie Scardino gives a unique
tour of her legendary shop and takes the family on velodrome afternoon.
Gina
Marie Scardino has managed to turn her bike shop King Kog in Brooklyn
into a phenomenon. It is reputed to be the Aladdin's Cave of bike shops,
and the truth is even better than fiction. King Kog is famous for
selling everything a dedicated fixed gear and vintage bicycle enthusiast
may ever need or want, from apparel to custom made bikes.
Fixed
gear bikes have existed since the late 1800's, but in recent years the
interest in them and the surrounding culture has boomed. The rumour has
it that Gina Marie and her shop has somehow predated the current
fixie-fad and will most certainly outlive it as well. When Gina is not
running the shop, she is busy creating art or making music. Drums are
her specialty, and she is currently drumming in the punk band Guts for
Garters."

The Faraday Porteur
"The Faraday Porteur is the ultimate electric propelled utility bicycle - the first electric bicycle built by, and for, cyclists. Dubbed "the ultimate modern utility bicycle" by the Oregon Manifest bicycle design competition, the Faraday Porteur is an elegant, powerful electric bicycle - a high-quality city bike that is comfortable and effortless to ride – with or without the electric motor."
Nutrição
"See the SiS-fuelled Rapha Condor Sharp squad talk about their nutrition
plans. We hear from riders such as World Champion Andy Tennant and
Olympic Gold Medallist Ed Clancy, as well as the team nutritionist."
FRAME - Stijn
"We catch up with Stijn Deferm, founder of Stijn Cycles, on his recent trip to Hong Kong to support the HK/Shenzhen Biennale which has helped bring cycling to the public eye.
An ex-Downhill mountain bike champion and having won the Belgium National downhill mountain bike championship 3 times, Stijn tells us about his biking/racing background, past projects and getting in/working in the bike industry for well over 10 years.
With so many generic bikes and brands emerging now, we ask him about his latest venture in building a strong bike brand, the fascination with going back to steel frames, using hi-end Columbus steel tubing and bringing back the old art of fillet brazing and using them in his Stijn Cycles."
The Way I Roll - Salvador "Sal" Barbier
"Skater and BMX collector Salvador "Sal" Barbier shows his extensive
collection of old school BMX frames which he calls "The Guggenheim of
BMX".
Sal Barbier is a designer who lives in Los Angeles and runs
his own independent bike shop where he sells the finest equipment and
attire for the dedicated skater. When Sal grew up, BMX guys and skaters
used to hang out in the same places, so Sal came to love both sports.
Today, he combines them by riding his bike as a warm-up before skating.
He is also famous for having what he labels "The Guggenheim of BMX", a
collection of very rare BMX bikes and gear he spent years collecting and
buying on eBay. He rides his different bikes wherever he goes, not out
of convenience, but because he thinks that riding a bike is one of the
coolest things in the world."

Team Raleigh GAC presents - The Mechanic
‘The first in a series of films that take a little look at the team behind the team. Shot on location in Spain and Belgium in the run-up to the 2012 Tour of Britain’
Paris para Londres
"This summer, we turned a crazy idea into reality: we crossed the channel to reach London from Paris, cycling and breakless. This trip helped us raising founds (about 10,500 € at the moment) for the french cycstic fibrosis foundation.
Cystic fibrosis is a desease that affects lungs and digestive system. Our goal is simple: “give our breath to those who need some”. Behind the financial dimension, what we want is to get people to know about cystic fibrosis (mucoviscidose in french).
The video of our whole trip should be released mid September."

Lucas
Brunelle is a 41-year old bicycle racer and cinematographer from
Edgartown who films alley cat races; high-speed bicycle races through
busy city streets in the worlds' most exciting and dangerous cities.
With his custom-made helmet cameras, Lucas shares footage with the
tactical speed and moves of the best riders in the world we have ever
seen. His movies are said to enthuse people who have never even tried
riding, and inspire the ones who do to go faster and take more chances.
Today, Lucas travels the globe and films alley cats and urban riding
worldwide on highways, under water, on the Great Wall of China, and
through bullet-riddled jungles."

The Way I Roll - Nicole Duke
"Downhill and cyclo-cross pro Nicole Duke explains how her passion for biking has given her another turn in her bike career.
Nicole
Duke is pursuing her third career, as a cyclo-cross pro. She grew up
riding dirt bikes, and became a pro in downhill and dual slalom mountain
biking already in 1996. After a career of traveling the world and being
among the top ten, she quit riding and became a hair stylist. However,
seven years later she felt the urge to get back in the saddle and tried
her first cyclo-cross. And she was hooked. Despite juggling her job as a
stylist and being a mother of two, 38-year-old Nicole has now managed
to climb back to the top of her game. She is now National Masters CX
Champion and finished third at Elite Nationals 2012. In contrast to her
younger competitors, Nicole's secret is quality over quantity on the
bike, and most important of all; remembering that it is all about having
fun!"

The Way I Roll - Chris Van Dine
"Downhill rider and philanthropist Chris Van Dine shows one of his second
homes in Guatemala, where he rides and contributes to society
development at the same time.
The son of east coast mountain bike
pioneer Galen Van Dine, Chris Van Dine is a first generation
professional racer who grew up living the mountain bike lifestyle from
its beginnings. At an early age, Chris developed a taste for speed and
won his first mountain bike race when he was eight. He was the first
North American to be crowned the fastest man on the continent at the
2009 Pan-American Championships. His proclivity for travel and adventure
has taken him to pinnacle experiences and jaw dropping first descents
from Alaska to Patagonia. After being confronted with the realities of
the developing world, Chris realized that his passion and experience
could actually impact peoples' lives on a basic level. From that point,
his mission became one of ambassadorship and philanthropy, and after
partnering with Pedals 4 Progress, an organization responsible for
redistributing more than 136,000 bicycles to around 30 developing
nations, Chris' purpose was realized and he has not looked back since."

The Way I Roll
Thule has let filmmaker Peter Sutherland shoot six documentaries about
bike culture. The films, named "The Way I Roll", take us on a journey
from Guatemala to a coast-to-coast experience featuring American bike
pros, bike builders and enthusiasts -- shot at close quarters in their
home landscape.
US filmmaker and photographer Peter Sutherland (director of bike documentary Pedal) portrays the following people in the films:
Salvador "Sal"Barbier, Los Angeles (CA) Skater and BMX collector.
Lucas Brunelle, Edgartown (MA) Alley cat race photographer.
Nicole Duke, Boulder (CO) Downhill and cyclo-cross pro.
Seth Rosko. NYC (NY) Skate park and bike builder.
Gina Marie Scardino, Brooklyn (NY) King Kog bike shop owner and drummer.
Chris Van Dine, Jim Thorpe (PA) Downhill rider and philanthropist.
The Way I Roll - Seth Rosko
"Skate park and bike builder Seth Rosko, a true NYC hero, reveals his bike-centered whereabouts in the city he loves.
Seth
Rosko is a bicycle frame builder in New York City. Born on Long Island
in 1974, Seth found skateboarding and punk rock at a young age, and this
inspired him to go in search of an adventure that led him to the city's
Lower East Side in the late '80s. He spent his formative years
entrenched in the DIY/punk scene of Manhattan's Alphabet City, altering
jobs in construction, bike messaging, and as a shop mechanic and skate
park builder. After hours projects saw him travelling the world with the
band Crash Worship, jumping freight trains across the country, racing
vintage motorbikes, and building many co-operative skate parks,
including the Autumn Bowl in Greenpoint, the C-Squat ramp, and more
recently the Nike wave sculpture on the Bowery -- all in NYC. Seth has
made bicycles for everyone from king of dirt contenders to courier
champions, hip hop royalty, and of course the neighborhood superheroes.
Rosko Cycles continues to promote the growth of cycling in the area by
supporting grassroot and shop teams, as well as individual riders. Seth
does not own a car, or eat animals, and he still lives in Alphabet City,
in the home that he built himself, with his wife and son. "
Fixie Lords
"The final production of the highly anticipated documentary. Dealing with stereotypes, riding reasons and other cyclist animosity, Fixie Lords takes the view deep inside the culture of fixed gears. Critically acclaimed in almost every country with a working computer, Fixie Lords will not disappoint."

Where Are You Go - Africa on a bike
Directed by Benny Zenga & Brian Vernor.
Four months on a bicycle between Cairo, Egypt and Cape Town South Africa is not your typical African safari.
En route with the Tour d' Afrique, the world's longest bicycle race and expedition, the Zenga Bros. (CAN) and Brian Vernor (USA) make light of this physically daunting trip by sharing a universal love of the bicycle with Africa's roadside mechanics, sporting racers, and innumerable curious strangers.
Traveling more than 70 miles per day, 50 racers and expedition riders experienced the boundless Nubian desert of Sudan, the great majesty of Victoria Falls, and finally the cold rush of the Atlantic Ocean.
Where Are You Go captures the 7,000 mile expedition as a constant adventure full of playfulness and mysterious beauty, and is a testament to the endurance of human curiosity.

Bikes Make Life Better
We all know that when people ride bikes, life is better. In this short
video, we bring this idea to life as riders trigger projectors
throughout a city, transforming an urban environment into a vibrant,
colorful world. A world made better, by bikes.
5 ciclistas profissionais falam um pouco sobre segurança nas estradas.
While safe roads matter to everyone on a bike, professional cyclists spend more time on them than almost anyone. It's how they make a living. These talented, world-class athletes may seem super-human at times, but they are humans like any of us—vulnerable on the open road.
In this video, five professional U.S. cyclists reflect on their experiences with bicycle safety. Some riders, like Lucas Euser and Craig Lewis, have seen their careers nearly end after severe crashes with people driving cars. Others, like current National Road Race Champion Timmy Duggan, haven't faced such extreme incidents, but still have a vision for better bicycling conditions and motorist-bicyclist interactions. All riders share their lessons and ideas for how our communities can become more bike-friendly and safer for all road users.
Even though these riders are the top 1% of bicyclists, their advice—slow down, be aware, don't blow through red lights, build more infrastructure, get more people riding—applies to anyone who likes to enjoy the simple pleasure of a bike ride.
Athletes, in order of appearance:
Lucas Euser, Team Spider Tech
Craig Lewis, Team Champion System
Kristen Peterson, Professional Triathlete
Timmy Duggan, Liquigas-Cannondale, Current U.S. Road Race Champion
Mike Friedman, Optum Kelly Benefit
