Since July 2015 with its trademark rhyming subject lines, the Twotone Newsletter is a weekly resource to ~1200 readers around the 🌍. Thank you for being part of & contributing to this community! ❤️

Eurobike officially begins its 33rd edition this Wednesday! This is the 11th edition for Twotone and the 13th for me! The show has had an uphill battle since Corona and since making the move to Frankfurt, but recent weeks have reminded me that it's still the biggest show, and a tremendous number of people are still very keen to go.

In line with Rolf''s predictions last week, my own impression over the years and the consensus on the grapevine is that it is indeed and admittedly becoming more of a mobility show. More value for some & convinces others not to go.

I absolutely believe that for our customers at the show this remains and will continue to be valuable for b2c & b2b brands alike; especially if you're just getting rolling.

This year, Moustache will have a fleet of bikes to demo + 2026 models, Remco Tools will have their trademark workstand on hand + some new surprises, Gravaa will have a demo setup of their adaptable tire pressure hubs primarily based at the Remco booth but able to meet throughout die Messe & TILER has a big announcement on the 25th + more news here.

The links below will book a meeting with each Twotone client at the show:

Kike & I will also have 100 hand-numbered new editions of our 'zine series with, of course, freshly printed stickers for the show!

Haven't reserved your Eurobike Dinner Spot? They're going hot! 40 of 65 seats are filled & we're thrilled: twotoneams.link/Eurobike-Dinner-25

As always, thank you very much for reading & have a great week ahead,

Jon

Old Man Mountain announces the Impala Lowrider, a classic concept revisited

Last week, Old Man Mountain announced The Impala Lowrider, which brings their rugged and reliable off-road reputation and aesthetics to a classic rack form. The Impala Lowrider expands on the low and stable pannier carrying position by adding a cargo deck for more space and easy access while riding. I love it! 😍 [Read More]

Ideas


Thank you, Micromobility! Last Week's Panel Was A Blast!

Thank you, Prabin, for the invitation! Some key discussion points: - shared battery models, fleets vs. consumer design, battery management challenges, market segmentation, profitability through battery repair, universal charging infrastructure, and removable vs. integrated batteries. - Emphasis on open systems, partnerships, system integration, and standardization in the industry. One thing is clear: car is over!

The simplest designs are the hardest to achieve

“The bicycle industry is not very hi-tech in that most of it is marketing. The technical innovations are few and made on a thin margin of expense on the product line” - Jobst Brandt.

Lars Schneider's Updated Portfolio

Lars is a big reason that our long-standing project with OMNIUM got rolling. Thank you, Lars! For the marketing managers reading this, click thru & consider Lars for your next shoot!

Witness Change is Celebrating 10 Years

Home - Witness Change
Amplifying stories, changing lives Celebrating 10 Years of Witness Change This year marks 10 years since Witness Change began sharing the stories of marginalized communities. What started as a belief in the power of storytelling has grown into a global movement – amplifying the voices of LGBTQI+ people, refugees, and people with mental health

My friend William rents a desk at Workspace 6, has taken numerous snaps of the team our clients and generally just made us all laugh regularly at the office. He works with Witness Change, a non-profit organization that exists to end human rights violations for marginalized communities through visual storytelling. Learn more here & get involved.

Damn 24 | 24-Hour Amsterdam<>Rotterdam Alleycat

The Damn 24 returns to Workspace 6 this weekend for a grueling 24 hours of racing between Amsterdam & Rotterdam. More info here.
