In case you were wondering- this is from 1945. Nottingham, England. Raleigh Bicycles. I love the heron chainring.
And now Raleigh USA is doing things like this- which is next on my list of bicycles. Mmmmm. Still sexy after all of these years…
Nat is bad ass. His birthday is this weekend and many will be making the the trip to Bellingham to ride in his annual Taint Tuff mountain bike disaster. Happy Birthday Nat and to the poor souls on the ride- you will hurt.
*because of the NSFW nature of the clip- I assumed it was shot in Portland, OR. It wasn’t. It was shot in Bend, OR. Oh Oregon…

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, this deeply moving new film by the Dardenne brothers (L’enfant, Rosetta) delves into the emotional life of troubled 11-year-old Cyril (newcomer Thomas Doret), who, abandoned by his father, obsessively tries to find his bicycle- after all, his father must have cared about him enough not to sell that off, he reasons.

Rapha teams up with Antony Crook to produce this inspiring and artistic short film. It’s also worth noting that the writer is James Bowthorpe, a long-distance cyclist.
Thanks for sharing Charlie.
Back from Portland and Filmed by Bike weekend. The weather was fair, the hills were non-existent, the beer flowed like water and we made the best of a good situation. Working on a little wrap up of the weekend- but until then, you can watch two of my favorite films from FBB. Happy Monday. Make it solid black, motherfucker.
Congratulation Melody Davis, you just won two passes for Filmed By Bike this weekend!
Your passes will be at will call.
That is all.
For the rest of you- we hope to see you there anyway. It’s going to be great weather and awesome times!
Incredible. The coffee break is epic, though traveling over glaciers like that is a bit hairy- having fallen balls deep in a soft spot over a glacier in the past…
Happy Thursday.
Copenhagen, Denmark.
This looks way more fun than Critical Mass. Speaking of which, does Critical Mass still happen in Seattle?
