The Radavist

Check out Juliet Elliot riding for Met Helmets.

After growing tired of riding the skatepark, Keith and Christina from Bmore Fixed headed out to a popular ledge to work on some grinds. Out of all the photos Keith posted, I dig this one the most. Love the colors!

Juliet’s a rad girl and I’m stoked she’s still riding bikes. Check out this video profile of her and what she loves to do in London, including being a cat cuddler.

I’ve made it half way through this and had to share it. Victoria Pendleton is the definition of a dedicated spokeswoman for cycling. Period. Professional cycling needs more of this and less of Oprah Winfrey. Thanks for sharing Tracko!

Brooklyn cap manufacturer, Fifo Cycle has a new site just in time for the holidays. Their Heavyweight line is a great way to beat the winter cold or pick up something from their Lightweight line.

My friend Sara Kinney made a video for Mess Queen, a legging and accessory company run by Courtney N. Gamble, a cyclist in NYC. This company really started to gain momentum as I was leaving Brooklyn for Austin, so it’s pretty rad to see this video pop up on Vimeo randomly. Check out more of what Mess Queen offers right here.

Ever since I picked up a pair of Outlier pants for Lauren, she’s been in love with them. They fit her perfectly and now, there are more fit options from the Outlier team. Introducing the Ladies Slim Dungaree. As the name implies, these are tailored and slim, but will accompany many body types. Here’s more from Outlier:

“Don’t call them jeans. There’s no denim in here. No cotton to blowout after a month or two of cycling. No cotton to suck up sweat and rain and clam up your life for hours as it sort of dries. If Levi Strauss set out today, do you think he’d pick a fabric centuries old, or would he do what he did 160 years ago and find the toughest, most durable and most comfortable cloth around?

We set out to make a true five pocket pant for casual work and wear; a women’s version of our Slim Dungarees. It needed to be ready for our lifestyle. One pant we could wear everyday, all day. One that could handle the stress of daily cycling and would still look good even when covered in grime and paint.

Pants that stay dry in light rain, yet dry fast if they do get wet. Pants that shrug off coffee and beer. Pants that look and smell good even if you never wash them but can also get tossed in the washer without compromising their core style. Pants we can hike and sail in and then still walk into a restaurant looking sharp.

Five pocket design with brushed stainless steel rivets and a gusseted crotch. ”

Pick up a pair here.

I can’t even begin to think where Merckx Mondays would be without the assistance from Andy White from Fyxomatosis. The man probably buys a new Merckx frame every other week and when he builds it up, it’s pristine. Dura Ace was the kit of choice back in this era. Oh and having a model in a 7 Eleven kit is a lot nicer than propping the bike up with a stick!

No one photographs the ladies like Andy White. Just look at her. Gumwall 23c tires, suede Unicanitor, Campagnolo Nuovo Record, and that frame, she’s perfection! See more at Fyxomatosis.

I just caught this over on the Affinity blog and had to give it some love. Kimberly Edwards won the UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships scratch and match race medals on her XS Kissena. So rad!

It’s cross season and King Kog‘s team is out in full swing. Last weekend, Wilis shot some photos of their team, including the ladies! I love this photo so much. I can’t wait to see these two smiling faces in a few weeks. Check out moe muddy action here.

Photos by Tayler Dubé

I met Tayler, the team photographer for Richard Sachs at the Red Hook Crit dinner this year. She’s a very talented photographer and I’ve long admired her work, before I even knew who she was. Head on over to her Flickr for color photos and her Tumblr for some more black and whites.

I’ve also embedded a slideshow from her Flickr below if you’re feeling click-through lazy.

Austin has a lot of personality out on the streets and these Hasselblad portraits are turning out great. Check two more out below.

For 2013 Ritte is bringing something different to their line and it’s not a new bike. Their women’s team was getting tired of winning every weekend so they figured they’d make it official. Check out the 2013 Ritte women’s cycle team sponsor book above.

Hell yes. More of this. Props to the ladies of Fast Co SF and Volcano Club for putting this together.

I just checked out Kelli’s article in Fixed Mag 12 and I gotta say, it’s pretty great. Jen and Ace‘s photos, Kyle‘s interview, her Affinity Kissena and Kelli doing her thing is worth the check out. Pick up a digi copy at Fixed Mag!

I’ve really come to admire photos that are taken while riding, much moreso than staged photo shoots. So it’s nice to see Jeremy’s photos and accompanying write-up of the 2012 Chris King Gourmet Century on the Rapha blog. That shot of Cindy is too good!
