Picture 40.pngVideo: Fixed 4… Tom La Marche bounces off bits of Britain
Here's the latest in Charge's ongoing series of videos featuring their sponsored fixed gear riders. Fixed 4 features their American rider Tom La March on a flying visit to Britain and enjoying "a typical fixed day out". Blimey he didn't have get about… pinging around Southern England. It must have been a long day.
So Tom hits Gold Hill in Shaftesbury famous for the 70s Hovis ad - Victoria Pendleton recently rode up it for the new Hovis ad, he's all over Bath practically dive-bombing the old road.cc office around the corner from the Royal Crescent, plus the local skate park, and our fave bit of bike test shooting park, before being chased out of town by irate locals for bouncing off the Abbey walls… maybe we made that bit up.
Then it's off down to Brighton to ride the awesome disused railway tunnel that's been converted for skaters and BMXers, before heading up to the Big Smoke… oh, and he manages a visit to Charge HQ, all of which is interspersed with some pretty cool riding… although dare we say it, he's not quite up to Chris Ackrigg standard just yet although what do we know, watch it and judge for yourselves.
Fixed 4 from Charge Bikes on Vimeo.
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

DOT4 is pretty aggresive stuff (nothing melted), mineral oil is probably OK on EPS hemets. I'm surprised this is allowed on planes.

It's in Brighton… it was built by Nike for their Tunnel Jam and then left in place for the local BMXers
where's that tunnel?
