Last weekend was many ways successful in Hellsinki. There was famous Flow-festival and 9thKing Of Fixed, the fixed gear riders fun and play days. During this three days there was a number of great performers in Flow and several interesting activities in KOF. Criterium-race, alleycat-race, trackstand, footdown etc. awesome s**t.
In Flow festival there was at least 3000 bicycles parked in special parking area where talented mechanics offered their services too.
Surprise events are always great fun too, BikePunksHellsinki held their tall bike jousting tournament in Dallape park. Hellsinki is getting better.
I sure feel that Tall Bike is a BIG and one of the freakish statement towards wild bicycle world. Tall bikes are typically build by welding bicycle frame in top of another bicycle frame. They are made fast, rough and cheap. Painted, if there happens to be paint around.
In B.I.K.E (Be Inclusive Kill Exclusivity) movie there is a lot's of tall bikes. The film is sort of documentary of Black Label Bicycle Club from New York. They organize annual mayhem events called Bike Kills with freakish races, rough tall bike jousting and heavy partying. The club acts and lives like motorcycle club, but in bicycle world. Somekind of relationship to 1% motorcycle club's can even been seen, in their deep level in brotherhood and commitment to their way of life.
