Fiefdom Tracklocross – The Shop

Fiefdom Tracklocross – The Shop

To make your life even better, I’ve started a little tracklocross shop. There will be more stuff to come, including parts, but to avoid procrastination, I’ve opened with some print-on-demand stuff. You can go to Fixed Gear Bike Shop, the stuff on it just now is available in the UK, but as it’s print-on-demand, I’ll add US, EU, and Asia options as well.

Tracklocross Chronicles VLOG 2 – The Squid SO-EZ Tracklocross Build

Tracklocross Chronicles VLOG 2 – The Squid SO-EZ Tracklocross Build

The other day I posted my Squid SO-EZ on r/tracklocross, on Reddit if you didn’t know, and got many questions. I decided to make a little YouTube video to show the bike and hopefully answer a few of those questions.

I guess this is because I am Scottish, and my beard tries to be ginger.

YouTube Video Series: What is Tracklocross

YouTube Video Series: What is Tracklocross

I’ve started a new series on YouTube exploring what is tracklocross. The first is a quick video explaining what tracklocross is to me; I hope you’ll find it a fun little video. Next week there will be video uploads exploring the parts of tracklocross bikes and possibly a rant on why steel is best.

Slow TV Style Tracklocross Ride With My Daughter

As the title says, I went for a wee ride on the Squid SO-EZ tracklocross monster with my daughter, rocking her Forme kid’s mountain bike. It has been a while since we were last out while awaiting a break in the Scottish weather; it has been non-stop storms recently.

Mindful Cycling, Possibly Tracklocross Style

Mindful Cycling, Possibly Tracklocross Style

The last month has been, or so, has been quiet from me. I’ve been busy, and finding time to write, never mind cycling, has been challenging. I’ve been working on gaining mindfulness and counselling qualifications. I’d found a lot of help in my life through being more mindful. Now I want to pass that teaching on.
