Genesis+AllCityCreative – Flyer LTD ED Launch Party
August 16th, 2010
Filed under: News – by: Genesis Bikes 7:02 pm
Held at Look Mum No Hands cyclist’s cafe and workshop in London to launch a limited edition of the Genesis Flyer – a collaboration bike styled by Owen at AllCity and specified by our resident fixed gear Flyer rider, Albert Steward. Proving he’s more than just a distributor of free stuff to journalists, Albert also distributed free beer to attending journalists as well as riders, bike shop staff and creative types. Good work Bert!
The Limited Edition AllCity Flyer retails at £749.99. Upgrades include a tougher butted Cr-Mo unicrown fork, 105 calipers and Conti Gatorskin Hardshell tyres plus chrome pedals with leather straps. Individually numbered in a series of 100 bikes and strictly a one-off – bikes are in the shops now.
Thanks to Albert, Fin and Owen for their work on this project.
Copenhagen trip

Bikes everywhere, relaxed bike-friendly city traffic, great forest singletrack with a quality micro-brewery in the centre of the trails and the chance to ride a 180mm-forked, freeride 29er around the Carlsberg brewery building… Copenhagen’s a great place. We visited Ben Ben Cykler the other weekend, a social trip to see a retailer that’s doing well with Genesis bikes, you know, just the chance to put faces to names and see a bit Europe we’d not seen before. The Genesis launch party at the shop was just how it should be, some beers in the shop / workshop with Kristian and Ben, the shop owners, and their regular customers. After a few there we went into town to see what was going on at the Velo-City conference party, which was basically a pedal-powered sound system, a bike polo tournament and on-stage gold-sprint racing - roller racing with a big video screen.
Mountain Mayhem

After a good result at the UK 24hr solo champs and a week training in the alps, I was feeling strong before this year’s Mountain Mayhem. As usual I would be riding in the solo class. I arrived on Friday to shock horror rain…. however I was assured that it was only a shower and all would be good for the weekend. I did a quick pre ride of the course which was similar to past years but with a little bit more climbing and a new section of singletrack. I then settled down to watch the football on the big screen which I don’t think I need to comment on…
A varied diet of trail and tar – The 3 Ways Saga :)

The internet is definitely the root of all evil for most of my epic adventures… I see a link or I stumble across a blog a seed is sown then the text messages/emails go out to see if any victims can be found to partake.
In this instance it was finding a small article on some site about the new East Highland Way in Scotland… a linking piece of trail that joined the West Highland way with the Speyside Way allowing a pretty sizeable coast to coast off road experience… a quick estimate was 240ish miles of off road riding.
After the texts went out the only taker was Mike Mcfarlane (www.mikemcfarlane.co.uk), I had met Mike through working at Ride Cycles and he was now working at a local outdoor store but had taken a big chunk of time out so was free for the trip.
