Stoked for Bespoked!

This weekend marks Bespoked's 15th year of showcasing beautiful custom bikes and its first time in Peckham! It is the first a triplet of Bespoked bike celebrations with Germany's 4th time at the Dresden Airport 11 - 13 Sept, followed by Osaka's inaugural edition 23 - 25 October, right after the also inaugural Taurus Mountain Race.

The program this weekend includes hands-on workshops in the Condor Makers Area, a full talks schedule, the Apocalypse Build-Off & Rally with Brother Cycles, and a Sunday car boot with BABYLDN x Brooks. More info in the Twotone newsroom.

Also check their exciting schedule of events here & if you're at the show on Sunday, be sure not to miss Quirk's talk with Richard Seymour of Seymourpowell: "Why Does The Bicycle Resist Design."

The festivities already kick off this Thursday in Hackney Wick with a press and exhibitor pre-show mixer at Quirk Cycles, followed by an open house. Please RSVP if you plan to attend!

If you'll be at Bespoked this weekend and are keen to catch up, drop me a line!

Kristy & I will mostly be the Quirk booth showcasing his Mamtor, Durmitor & Kegety models. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

thank you for reading,

Jon

The OMNIUM Mini V3.1 XS | Now a Step Through Option

Hot on the heels of the Nano, OMNIUM is pleased to introduce the latest iteration of their Mini. This update brings several of the Nano’s key features to the Mini, completing the evolution of their short-john family of bikes. The most significant change is the replacement of the XS size with a new Step Through (ST) version. This makes the Mini accessible to a wider range of riders and easier to use, particularly for those wanting to use rear-mounted child seats. Read more in the Twotone newsroom.

Creative Boom: 5 bicycles that are almost too gorgeous to ride

Kristy inspired Katy at Creative Boom to include Quirk's Mamtor, Moustache's Dimanche 28 Urban & Veloe's Multi in this great rundown commemorating World Bicycle Day. Check it out.

The Veloe Multi Lungo in the AD & HLN Fietstest.nl

Nice to see the Multi Lungo going neck and neck with other long-tail contenders in this year's Fiets Test! Read the details here.

The Mechanics of Joy Nº55 with Dylan Griffith

This Thursday at 2pm CET on my layover between Florida & London for Bespoked, Kike & I will be joined by Dylan Griffith of Smörgåsbord Studio for our 55th show live on Echobox Radio. Tune in!

Rob Quirk & Richard Seymour: Why Does The Bicycle Resist Design

Quirk Cycles will be exhibiting at Bespoked London, where on Sunday at noon, Rob Quirk and designer Richard Seymour - co-founder of Seymourpowell - take on a deceptively simple question: why hasn’t the bicycle really changed? Get your tickets & see you at Bespoked! (p.s. if you're already in town on Thursday, stop by Quirk's new workshop! RSVP here.)

Shimano Europe Reverses Decision and Exhibits at Eurobike 2026

Shimano Europe reverses decision and exhibits at Eurobike 2026
The announcement earlier this year that Shimano would not exhibit was regarded as a decisive moment for the future of Eurobike. According to the Japanese component manufacturer, “the industry continues to evolve, and we are prioritising our customer- and consumer-focused events.” Two and a half months later, the show reality has changed again and Shimano’s European representation announced its presence in Frankfurt this June.

You know, the more things change, the more things stay the same. I still feel '26 will be a turning point for the show and it never made sense to simply not go. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! I'll confirm the details of our 5th Annual Eurobike Dinner on June 25th ASAP!

Mountains And Trees Global Film Tour

The Mountain Races started in Kyrgyzstan in 2018, with the inaugural edition of the Silk Road Mountain Race. Since then the series has developed a reputation for being some of the most inspiring ultra distance races in the world. 'Mountains and Trees' takes a closer look at the person behind the races, Nelson Trees. It explores why people attempt these types of races with no prizes, what they learn, and what they experience in the remote places that host the events. Lookout for a Dutch date to be announced soon!

Ride And Rip – Group Ride With Skate Spots

My friend Erik & his homie Dalton organised a 2nd edition of their street spot group ride while I'm in town so my son Otto & I joined! Check out my highlights here.
