The Desertus Bikus is an ultradistance race I’ve been more or less involved with over the past few years. The first time I saw the start, it was hosted at the courier company

I often talk about how, in the cycling world, we should prioritize helping each other rather than staying isolated in our own little corners. And that’s exactly why I wanted to shine some light on The Swoops today….

One of the people I spend the most time with in Paris is François. He’s what you might call the perfect city guy, stylish, always showing up with some new gear, and incredibly reliable when…

Hello everyone! Just a quick announcement today, as I recently sat down for an interview with Chris from CycleSpeak to talk about the very beginnings of Slow Spin Society…

There are plenty of people who consider themselves bike collectors, each for their own reasons. Maybe it’s the way a bike looks, the way it rides, the history behind it, or maybe it’s just the joy of collecting for collecting’s sake…

First things first! ! huge thank you to everyone who submitted photos to the “2025 STOKED Photo Contest”! We received over 160 entries from incredibly talented photographers…

I started covering Romario’s collection a few months ago here on Slow Spin Society. With so many impressive bikes that often look completely unridable, in a “normal” setting, it’s refreshing to find one with a more traditional look, something I could actually imagine taking for a spin around the block…

A few years ago, I posted about Yuki’s criterium machine, her beautiful carbon fiber Kalavinka. Well, time for a change of pace: today, we’re taking a look at her Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta V4…

We’re back with another film review! And as much as I enjoy surprises, the film lottery has been oddly specific lately… I’ve only ended up with rolls I wouldn’t normally pick for myself. This roll of Shanghai 400 Color Film…

In a recent post, I shared how Skream invited me to Hong Kong to finalize my review of the Skream Ranger. And with “The Vertical City” being so naturally cinematic…

When it comes to the fixed gear scene, there’s always been an enduring obsession with the Brooklyn Machine Works (BMW) Gangsta Track. But what about the lesser-known LaunchPad?

When I first launched Slow Spin Society with a sharp focus on fixed gear culture, I think deep down I wanted to help sparking another “fixed gear boom”, following the one we saw in the 2010s. One of the most unforgettable highlights from that era has to be the Red Hook Crit.

First off, a big thank you to Corentin and Stéphane for organizing the second edition of Love Letter Turbo (LLT), and once again giving me the opportunity to showcase some of my work in their publication…

The Skream Ranger isn’t really “new” in any ways. First unveiled back in 2020, it was pitched as an affordable track bike with generous tire clearance, aimed squarely at the Tracklocross crowd…

I love shooting new film, and I don’t think there’s such a thing as “bad” film. Sure, there are some that are just “meh,” and a few that are straight-up weird. So when my friend handed me that roll, saying it was the worst film she’d used in a while, I took her second roll…

The No. 22 press coverage never seems to stop around here, but sadly this is the last bit I saved from my 2024 summer trip to America. Today, we’re checking out a very special bike, since it’s the one I’ve been stoked about since I first spotted it online years back…

Hello everyone! Just an announcement today as Slow Spin Society is partnering with Balance for a spring photography contest! You'll find all the details below, but don't hesitate to DM me or Sam if you have any additional questions…

Let me start by introducing myself. I was born in Osaka, and I’m now in my third year of riding track bikes. At first, it was just about messing around with friends on bikes, Osaka has such a dense fixed-gear culture that it was hard not to get swept up in it…

It’s time for another bike check, and it looks like we’ve been on an NJS streak lately! But this one isn’t from Japan… It’s from Brooklyn…
