Whilst trawling through the internet I came across this rather extravagantly decorated fixie. It was created by Jacques Ferrand, a trained traditional leather cutter and sewer. Jacques has his own shop, Crèvecoeur (23 r. Des Blancs Manteaux, Paris, France) and normally works on bags, shoes, and belts, either directly for customers under the name Etablissements Ferrand, or for labels such as Hermès but thought he would do something different. He has even covered a few skate boards. Perhaps it is a little quiet in the shop due to the recession?

@webbierwrex Can't you just tell from metrics like, um, the time it takes you?
@eburtthebike - Q: What do we want? A: More pollution! Q: When do we want it? A: Now...and tomorrow...and the day after tomorrow...
They look like Crocs.
Cycle lane protesters: Selfish people who believe the roads should be used for their cars and only their cars.
@webbierwrex They have, it's called Garmin Connect+.
@mitsky The media in this country is almost universally anti-cyclist, and will take any opportunity to criticise them. The fact that the thief's mode of transport was irrelevant to the theft, unless they were riding a bike. Wasn't there a report a few years ago which analysed media coverage of cycling and found it to be overwhelmingly biased?
Those protesters need to give their collective heads a wobble - and get a life. Their children will be far safer with less cars on the roads, but it completely passes them by. I don't know how we break the cycle of motornormativity......I'm not sure it's a battle that can be won - but really hope it can.
"Around 200 people gathered outside the council offices, many brandishing placards calling for the removal of the Lib Dem councillors behind the proposal, criticising the proposed loss of car parking spaces, and discussing protecting children." Mountain, meet the molehill. In this ultra-motornormativity society, nothing counts as much as car parking. Just to show that they aren't really caraholics, they conflate the safety of children into the mix. As we've seen in so many cases, with today's story about a driver being found guilty of murder because a cyclist touched his car, nothing matters more to some people than their car: not even their kids. Is it time that car addiction became a recognised illness and appropriate treatment devised?
just out for a ride and thought i would check Waze to see if i’m on the map as a cyclist alert… and yep, there i am!
Interesting about the Strava MCP. I don't have Strava premium but I am slightly surprised/disappointed that Garmin hasn't released some sort of AI data tool. I run to work and back twice per week on a very similar course. I want to see if I am getting fitter. This should be easy for AI to analyse my pace Vs heart rate to work out.

Impressively leathery – though it’s a shame he didn’t try to do some leather tyres too
