Fixed gear Forgood 2014 by Giovanni Motta & Biscagne Cicli

Hi riders and fixie lovers!

Today we bring you fresh and nice news from the fixed gear world, in this case from a "non profit" project created by Biscagne Cicli Columbus. Every year since 2010 they produce a beautiful bike and then they put special sale on this web site. They call this "Fixed  Gear Forgood"

 

It 's beautiful because his frame was hand-painted by an Italian artist. And "special" because 100% of the proceeds will be donated to a good cause: the medical and scientific research for the benefit of children.

Today we want to show you an amazing thing...a huge fixed gear mural in Salavat, Bashkortostan, and here you have the story behind this mural as Dmitri explains...:

My name is Dmitri Aske aka Sicksystems and I'm an artist from Moscow, Russia. Recently I've done new huge mural in Salavat, Bashkortostan and I would like to share it with you. It is dedicated to cycling.

 

9 days. 9 storied-building, extremely rough surface. The cyclist symbolizes human abilities. Since the bicycle is a mechanical vehicle, people riding a bike move forward using their own energy. This work wants to remind the viewers that in the modern world people way too often rely on new technologies forgetting about their own abilities and powers and underestimating them. I made this work without using a projector, though initially I'd thought that it would be much more difficult than it turned out to be in the end.

Projection Mapping on Fixed Gear Bike by @Ibnuambara

Artist Statement :
"When I started Creating what can be Called Video Projection, my product was very much focused in the video in the bike.Now i am trying to introduce about a lifestyle of fixed gear rider in kuala lumpur by using bicycle fixed gear as a subject to project. For me, fixed gear is an ideal topic to explore, because it is very current in our society now and to say fixed gear is a urban culture on its own among the youngsters."
