Some Bengal Style一点儿孟加拉风情

My friend Jacques just sent over some AMAZING bike/rickshaw pics all the way from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Thanks Jako!

 

Familiar with these?

Yep. Apparently our very own Phoenix bikes are all over there!

More pics of three-wheelers:

摄影师朋友 Jacques 远从孟加拉国首都达卡市发来贺电。

这些车看起来是不是很熟悉呢?

没错。看来咱们中国的凤凰车是遍布孟加拉呀~

Paddy’s Bash!圣帕特里克节啤酒骑

Another awesome beer bash – Paddy’s Bash, hosted with free drinks (yay!) by Factory 5 & Shanghai Tattoo, celebrates the Irish St. Patrick’s Day.

Everybody had something green!

My bike and its prototype. (Anna’s lowered frame = love at first sight) .

Trying out the tandem 😀

才过去多久呀,啤酒骑又来了。这次是Factory 5上海纹艺复兴 合办的,恰逢圣帕特里克节,当然也少不了爱尔兰人的习俗——酒!

每个人都有绿色哦!

我的车以及其原型(Anna的女式车架我是一见钟情)。

大家都来试骑双人车。

Specialized ShanghaiSpecialized 闪电中国上海店

A month a go I went to the Specialized bike store with some Chinese rider friends. The manager Simon (a.k.a @刀疤川 ) is also a rider friend.

It is said to be the biggest bike shop in Puxi, quite well-equipped.

Love the photos they hung on the walls. I especially like this one.  ↑ (Damn I want to have one too!)

Han Han also goes there! ↓

Finally, the exact address: Jianguo Lu 221, near Jiashan Lu.

据说这是浦西最大的自行车店哦!要什么有什么。

店内挂着的照片。超想要这张的海报 ↑ ,有没有 ?

韩寒也去的哦 ↓

最后是详细店址: 建国西路221号,靠近嘉善路

Not Just Another Night Ride不仅仅又是一次夜骑

Although extremely tired having slept for only 5 hours in the morning (aftermath of a long night’s work), I was really excited and happy to join the Factory Five friends for another night cruise to The Bund. It was also a long-awaited reunion with our very own experienced Chinese biker group (with a potential new girl biker joining!). Check out how awesome our 20 bikes look put together ↓ when we stopped to have some drinks.

Karl’s Tigger saddle ↓

There was an interesting interlude (for me it’s one of those moments that worth taking my big, stupid camera out). After coming out of the tunnel, one of our bikes got punctured. No worries, our distinguished attendant service team immediately took care of it.

虽然由于头晚通宵加班,我还是兴奋地去地参加了周二Factory Five的外滩夜骑。这次也是和我们精通老练的中国骑手们期待已久的一次重聚,而且马上还有新女骑手加入呢。

骑到外滩停下来休息时,把20辆车都排到了一起。最外面的还是Jeff那辆浪漫的的双人车。

大师Karl的跳跳虎坐垫↓ 萌不萌?

这次夜骑有一个有意思的小插曲(“有意思”对我来说就是那种值得把我笨重的照相机拿出包来用的时刻)。骑出隧道不久,有辆车爆胎了。没关系,我们精良的F5服务团队马上就解决了问题。
