Insa “Girls on Bikes” photo installation
Here at Zlog, we appreciate the finer things in life, two of those things being girls and bikes. Insa took it upon themselves to curate this series of photos that showcase some fine things indeed.
Andreas Samuelsson x Tokyo Fixed
Earlier this year Tokyo Fixed announced their collaboration with Andreas Samuelsson. Since then, they have been busy teaming up with some of their friends across the UK including Il Soigneur and Cyclodelic, to turn Andreas’ pattern into a range of t shirts, a cap, and a musette.
Such a great collection!

Burro x Eyes Wide Awake – Polo Jack & Fixed Queen
Burro sent over their latest collaboration with Eyes Wide Awake. Digging the clean design! Go scoop a Polo Jack or Fixed Queen tee.
We’ve worked with Chad from Eyes Wide Awake from the very beginning. He designed our original logo and has participated in every artist series we’ve done. We commissioned him to design a series of playing card/cycling-related t-shirt images that we had printed by screen-printer extraordinaire and Team Burro member Jared Scheurer of LYM Printshop in South Florida.
The Anorak – An Outlier Experimental Edition
We never rush development at Outlier and this garment has been in the making for nearly as long as we’ve been around. So yes, we’re pretty excited to finally have it in our hands, The Anorak.
The Anorak uses a pullover construction with two way side ventilation. The magnetic front piece is fully adjustable so you can protect your neck in the style of your liking. The 3XDry Cotton Linen fabric has a sturdy hand feel that combines the soft touch of cotton with the crisp handle of linen and the unparalleled performance of Schoeller’s 3XDry treatment.
This is an Outlier Experimental Edition. A limited edition release available at the Outlier webstore on July 19th at noon ET. $425. WWW.OUTLIER.CC
Wrahw Poster #1
Our buddy Torey over at WRAHW is putting out a poster series and here is what he came up with for the first one. It reminds me of a magic-eye poster, hopefully when you stare at it cross-eyed you will see someone ripping on a bike.
Drop Bars Not Bombs Tank Tops Re-Stocked
The wait is over! Tanks are re-stocked in the Zlog Boutique. Head over and snag one before they are all gone.
The Alpha Bike
The Alpha Bike was created by 5 grad students studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.
Bike Hugger posted the above photo on their flickr of how the drive system of the Alpha Bike connects, claiming it to be the worlds least efficient drive train. I looked into the Alpha bike a little more and realized they used some amazing processes to create this machine. It goes from fixed to free with an internal belt drive. With the help of rapid prototyping and 3D printing (more on that later) they were able to manufacture the whole bike in-house.
Lets get nerdy…
Pearl Dragon of Champagne Champagne
Here is a nicely done bio-piece of local Sea-town musician Pearl Dragon.

Stevie Gee prints
Some really awesome prints just became available over at Stevie Gee’s web store. Each one is printed on acid free paper, individually signed and embossed. The lettering is done by hand so each one is slightly different.

A bike with a stamp wheel and ink roller is built in? Fixed Gear Switzerland hit a stroke of genius with this one!
Illustrated bike by Benjamin Baltus
I saw these photos pop up on some blogs the other day, but didn’t really look into it until Ben emailed me today. Ben is an illustrator from Germany who customizes bikes with a marker after they are sandblasted and powder coated. I think this is a great way for any illustrator to get some attention these days. It is like a rolling business card!
Go check out more of Bens work here.
NUCULT Trick Contest
Our friends at Nucult shot over this amazing flier for their trick contest happening in Lille, France later on this year. One of the best flier designs I have seen! More details to come over at Nucult.
