The Fixed 'n' Chips Video is here!

As you may know we have been massively inspired by BÖIKZMÖIND and the Bristol Fixed Gear scene in general. When we heard that Gavin was putting on a Fixed 'n' Chips Alleycat race we went along to see for ourselves and take some pictures.

The final edit of the official Fixed 'n' Chips video is now live, check it out below:

Bike Film Night | Edition 1 Review

Edition 1 of Exeter #BikeFilmNight took place at the Exeter Phoenix cosy Black Box – Thank you to the Phoenix Digital Department for their participation, help and support. BikeCaffeExeter helped us too to get this space.

NoGutsNoGlory, MagicBikeMike and Velo Vintage gave their time to interact and show their products to the audience of 40.

Böikzmöind was the main film. A real eye opener for the Exeter audience who totally enjoyed it.

Moving from fixed gear to road cycling were the 2 Rapha Films. More traditional & beautifully filmed. The last little surprise was the “Every time a bike is stolen…” -  funny, sweet and bitter 5 minutes.

Velo Vintage also gave away 2 pairs of tickets via a prize draw for their December ride.

Being a free evening, the screening was appreciated by all. A great social evening about cycles. Another #BikeFilmNight  will take place in February/March 2013 – Date tbc. It will be at the same Exeter venue. The film will be 100% adrenaline and mainly about urban messenger riders!

In the meantime, you can check some pictures taken during this first edition > HERE. Thank you all for making this cycling community happen!

Bike Film Night

This Wednesday the 21st sees the first Bike Film Night presented by OneGearExeter and BikeCaffeExeter at the Exeter Phoenix. The event is free and features some great films:

Böikzmöind: A fun documentary by Gavin Strange about the fixed gear scene in Bristol.
Rapha films: Short documentaries beautifully filmed about road cycling and adventure as a group of passionate cyclists.

 

As well as these great films Magic Bike Mike will be in attendance with some bikes he has built and No Guts No Glory will bring some bits and pieces from their shop.

All of the tickets are now allocated so unfortunately there won't be any available on the night. Stay tuned for more information about the next Bike Film Night which is already being planned!

Fixed'n'Chips 2012

If you are interested in Fixed Gear bikes then you have most likely heard about Fixed'n'Chips by now. The race was organised by Gavin Strange of Boikzmoind fame and is related to the weekly #ChipShopRide in Bristol (which inspired our very own #CoffeeShopRide). This was no ordinary alleycat though, for example how many races have you heard of where you can gain bonus points for scoffing battered sausages?!

OneGearExeter travelled up north to Bristol to take some photos of the event, view the full gallery here.

BÖIKZMÖIND: A Bristol Fixed Gear Documentary

BÖIKZMÖIND is a documentary about the fixed gear scene in Bristol which was created by Designer and all-round creative guy Gavin Strange. The film focuses on what it's like to ride fixed gear bikes and some of the great events going on in Brizzle.

As well as the obvious riding footage and talking heads there are some excellent set pieces in the film. Gavin works for Aardman Animations by day and clearly used his creative side to come up with some sections which you wouldn't expect to see in a your average documentary.



What BÖIKZMÖIND does most of all is make you want to go out a ride as soon as it's finished which says it all really. If you are interested in seeing the film you can watch the Trailer or download it for only £5.99 from here.
