We were fortunate to see some clips from this in some other edits but the whole edit from Devon Lawson of Grime Bikes is filled with line after line of goodness. My favorite part hits at the end, 01:04. Hard!

Arwin Aprillios likes the Heavy Pedal – Original Flavor shirt because it matched his Cinelli Vigorelli. Loving the photos he sent in from his Pedal Room profile. Great build.

When we first started The Heavy Pedal we were really into mopeds. Being that we were not complete enthusiasts we lost track of it and let our “Moped Monday” posts go. Well, we recently ran into Dan Kastner of Moped Army and 1977 Mopeds and we decided that, since Dan is just as awesome as us, he would be the perfect person to carry the torch. With no further introduction here are some shots of Dan and his mopeds:

Here are his credentials:

1997 Co-Founded the Moped Army, kicking off the modern American Moped movement
Captain of the Decepticon Moped Gang for 10 years
Attended more than 50 moped rallies
50cc Racing Champion of 2003 – Mid-Ohio racing league
2003 Started 1977 Mopeds
2006 Moved to SF
Competed in and sponsor of the Polini Cup, and Thunderdrome racing series
Featured in the First Edition of Wrenched Magazine, articles in Wired Magazine, Budget living, and some smaller zines and newspapers

Be sure to check back every Monday for another Moped Monday post by Dan Kastner!

SE Bikes visits Woodward West from SE Bikes Fixed on Vimeo.

This has been a great end of the year for FGFS videos and the progression of the sport. Though this video dates back to Interbike, which was in September, most of the bangers in this edit are still not touched by others. Boothby All Day!

From SE Bikes Vimeo Page:

“SE Bikes fixed gear freestyle riders Josh Boothby and DJ Mull visit Woodward West to put the new Showtime frame to the test. With the help of SE bmx rider and team manager Kris Fox, Josh Boothby successfully joins the few to have pulled a backflip on a fixed gear bike.

Filmed by Colby Elrick of SKYLMT Films. “

Shred Crew coming through with the heat! I am feeling this edit because of all the lines these riders hit.

About RISE:

“In the spring of 2012, two friends will set off on a cross-country trek to learn more about the dichotomies of life and the phenomenon of suicide. Traveling by bicycle, the two will ride from The San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, California to Wappingers Falls, New York. On their journey they will stop in cities and towns across the nation to listen and talk with those who have lost friends and family to suicide, sharing stories with others. They’re hope is that the dialog will bring growth and peace to the survivors left behind.

The cyclists’ goal is to inspire the transformation in one’s life by creative self-expression through devoted self-reflection. Allowing the time needed for self-reflection while working through emotional trauma or any life experience can act as a vehicle for radical change for an individual’s life, especially when that change is created with an artistic level of self-expression. Art can act as a powerful catharsis. The transformative healing power not only has the potential to heal the artist, but when expressed to the outer world it can act as a catalyst for another individual’s healing process.

The cyclists are under no delusion that they will vanquish or stem the acts of suicide. Rather, through their cross-country tour, they hope to understand the cycle of pain with which it comes.”
