New favourite website

Move over The Innertube, we've got a new all time favourite website for this week. It's called something and was probably made by someone and lets you design your own bike! Within some fairly strictly defined parameters!

(No screenshots today because we're in work and can't remember our FTP settings, but you can click here to view the site yourself anyway, so that's okay really.)

We've fiddled with this for LITERALLY minutes. It's just like making a proper fixie, since the chain goes far too slack whenever you try to move the back wheel forward to a point where it'd actually look good. Such an accurate simulation -- these internet designers are capable of ANYTHING.

Official "placeholder while we think of something good to write about" rating 6/10


Some old updates that aren't entirely awful


And there'll be even more coming to this spot just as soon as we can be bothered trawling through our somewhat embarrassing archives.

Simon and Anthony


Nigel and company


Johnathan & friends, even though they're always last with the news and the website is horrible


Dutch cyclists we like because they're better/more attractive than British riders

Bobke Strut is so good that it deserves a category of its own

Arrr, bike pirates

George!

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
