Just back from a presentation at Mediamatic for the Sur Place exhibition. Wow, did I ever see so many beautiful fixies together? I was ‘out of tune’ – I knew I would be –, but that’s why I brought my Ger and wore my Campagnolo shirt. I did an improvised talk on the Giro d’Italia and the early history of bike races. Completely forgot to play Stars and Watercarriers and/or The Impossible Hour in the background.

Met nice people, passionate about bikes – as I am, as for instance Alexis, who keeps a blog on bikes at amsterdambicyclecollective.
