Rocket Company of Jakarta, Indonesia are set to host Fixed Fest again in 2012. I was lucky enough to attend the event last year in Jakarta and I can easily say it was the biggest fixed gear event I’ve ever attended and easily the most enjoyable. Everyone was so pumped on bikes and stayed throughout the whole day until it got dark and then thrashed all night at the after party! If you’ve got the cash and the time, don’t hesitate to book those flights!

WOOF killed it again with the official logo. Easily one of my favourite artists!

This Euro edition of Rouleur includes Herbie Sykes in Germany and a some insight into racing in the pre-unification years. The inimitable Timm Kölln is the photographer.

Herbie also came across an astounding collection of poster art advertising the Peace Race (including the beautiful cover image).

Graeme Fife and Gerard Brown seek out Sean Yates, Jean-René Bernaudeau and Bernard Thévenet at the Critérium du Dauphiné - and catch Bradley Wiggins on the way to victory.

Guy Andrews and Taz Darling travel to northern Italy and the home of Elite. As in water bottles.

In the final installment of our favorite recent series, Tom Southam and Ben Ingham check in from the Tour of Rwanda, and Tom takes a closer look at the future of bike racing in Africa.

Plus contributions from regular columnists William Fotheringham, Matt Seaton, Paul Fournel and Johnny Green.
