Arrived! My friend Elena, who rode my pink little bike ↑

Yep, that’s me passing by one of the old watertown house. (It is now the profile pic of CityBikr Facebook page)

The ride home was exhausting. On the final few kilometers, my only living wish is to see the sweet tip hole of SWFC tower again. And I’m soooo proud that I made it with just a simple city bike. 😉

Want to see more photos of the water town? Check my Flickr.周六早上9点从上海音乐学院(淮海路汾阳路)出发到浦东新场古镇的 45公里骑行(来回90km!)。一路上温度都在3°C一下,到了古镇就到冰点0°C了。腿冻得僵硬~ T_T

回去的路途可不简单,累得我够呛!80多公里后我唯一的生存愿望就是再次看到环球金融中心的顶洞。

Airwalk ShanghaiAirwalk死飞上海店

Alright. So big news – I’m getting my own fixie. On Tuesday I checked out Factory 5 and then Saturday I went to Airwalk Shanghai.

Didn’t get my chance to talk to the staff before the GQ journalists finish their work. Quite a popular place! As I was talking and taking pictures, cute guys just keep coming in with their fancy bikes that at one point it became very hard to concentrate on my bike hunt.

This one belongs to one of them. ↓ The owner of this bike is very low profile and decided to have his friend taken with the bike rather than himself.

 

Finally the exact address: 242 Julu Lu, near Ruijiner Lu.

好啦,终于我也要买自己的死飞了!周二去了Factory 5,这次去的是上海 Airwalk

一进去,里面有俩GQ的记者在采访拍照。看来很有影响力啊!走了以后终于轮到我。一边聊着拍着,一边就有帅哥靓车进进出出,搞得我魂不守舍不能专心配车。

下面这辆就是其中一个帅哥的。↓ 车主希望保持低调所以让随行朋友代为模特。

最后是详细店址:巨鹿路242号,靠近瑞金二路

Sat.星期六

Bumped into Bean Shanghai‘s group ride outside Jing’an Sculpture Park.

The tricycles (both with back seat and without) were there again.

在静安雕塑公园外碰到了 Bean Shanghai 集体骑游,都穿了背心呢!

上次夜骑来过的竹三轮(两辆一对比发现后座是可以拆下来的!)

Factory Five 死飞店 及我的第一次夜骑

昨晚和 车帮他们夜骑。遇到了很多有趣的人呢!

首先,终于给人民自行车以及Factory 5的老大泰勒拍了张。他拿的是刚印好的第二期48×15杂志。

然后忍不住想沾光一下,嘻嘻…

↑ Laura是来自德国的自由撰稿记者。车是当天刚刚赶工完成的,非常美吧!

下面是Factory 5内部 ↓

右边是来自香港的Perry (←微博!)

终于遇到了“传说中”的Jeff,照相机装了巨大的闪光灯

来自苏格兰的Lewis (←微博!)

夜骑开始!

来的居然有三轮车 ↑ 和双人自行车 ↓

最后是卡特和竹制单车 [AgotoB.com] 让我们一起找回自行车王国失去的单车文化吧!

Factory Five & My First Night Ride

Just came back from my first night ride with the gang. Met lots of interesting people.

Finally took a pic for Tyler. And that’s 48×15 Vol. 2 he’s holding.

And I just had to get some biking spirit for myself…

↑ Laura, writer and journalist from Germany. That’s a new built she just got today.(What a beautiful bike!) She took the last pic of me and Tyler.

Inside Factory 5 ↓:

That’s Perry from Hongkong on the right.

And finally met Jeff. (with a huge flash)

Lewis from Scotland with his Factory 5 built.

Waiting at the gate to hit the road.

Night ride starts!

And guess what, we’ve got a tricycle (rickshaw?) ↑ and a tandem bike ↓

We biked pretty far (probably NOT so for many). I was almost exhausted from the pedalling a few times on the way because my non-fixie bike has small wheels and gears. But thanks to the timely stops in between, I made it all the way 🙂

And finally, Karta with the bamboo bike. [AgotoB.com] Let’s bring the bike culture back to China!
