No Tricks but a Treat.

In the spirit of the holiday we thought we'd give the not-often-reviewed Mongoose Maurice a few words. When one of our mates picked one up, we were all a bit surprised that its more a commuting geometry. Being a Mongoose we expected a more thrashing oriented kind of off-the-peg ride, a bit more like what SE did with the PK Ripper. Needless to say, the bike looks great especially after some minor surgery, although investing in some straight forks would be recommended for barspinning and and general trickery which is, again, the kind of product you'd want from BMX specialist Mongoose. But apart from this, the quality of this bike is impressive and is serious value for money at less than £300. 


Peace.

Waterways to Woodstock

Today we did an outing to Blenheim Palace and woodstock. We documented it as some of the photo-ops were too good to miss. The ride itself is easy but physically demanding and diverse in terms of terrain. Woodstock is actually quite fun to ride around with some tight alleys and a big hill coming out the other side. After sneaking round the back of Blenheim park to avoid dropping 10£, we rode around for a bit and took some flicks. In all it was glorious whether and turned out to be a sick day. We would recommend you take the trip.

Wagwan in your bag?

Keep 'em peeled.

Today we've been lurking around oxford sticking some cards in to some local riders' spokes for publicity reasons. So if you ride fixed and leave your bike around in City Centre or Summertown keep an eye out for one of these bad boys:

Introducing some variation.

Sorted!

Winter.

Shitty weather again. Bad news for cycling, but we are planning a lot with our bikes and hopefully some trips to document. Look out for new things in the near future and some publicity exploits we have planned.

Peace.
