Rouleur
Like a lot of cycling obsessed people I know when I first moved to London I worked in a bike shop for a few years. Some of the perks are obvious; access to tools and cheap parts but I also met a lot of interesting people over my three year stint one of whom, Guy Andrews, is now editor of Rouleur Magazine. Their second photographic exhibition starts in London next weekend.
I know Mike A will be into this as he mentioned Rouleur in the last issue of Dig but if anyone’s in London between next weekend and Christmas I’d urge them to come and have a look at the Exhibition. Now up to issue 10 Rouleur really is a phenomenon with copies of issue one breaking £100 on ebay . The standard of the photography is incredible and this show features work by Ben Ingham, Gerard Brown, Olaf Unverzart and Timm Kolln amongst others.
All the information about the exhibition can be found here

From an editorial/content layout perspective, that magazine is soooo good!

I’ve seen almost every copy of Rouleur & if you’re in to it you need to check out this DVD Road to Roubaix. http://masterlinkfilms.com/
Timm Kolln is interviewed & shows him taking some of the photos that are in this book. I still love bmx & have been riding for well over 20 years, but got exposed to the road 14years ago & love it too. Funny how more & more BMXers get older & realize there is more then just that little bike to ride to ride. These it’s just impotent that you’re out riding something.

To Jon M:
If you like Road to Roubaix then track down a copy of a Sunday in Hell if you’ve not seen it already, wonderful film.
