I was in Fred Perry today (as you do in Berlin, head straight for the quintessential english store) and the very nice chap in there noticed my brixton cycles t-shirt.

He then proceeded to tell me the Berlin rozzers are clamping down hard on fixed gear bikes (didn’t have the heart to tell him i’m riding a disk brake bruiser and not a pretty track bike). Anyway, it seems the police are stopping any fixed riders and confiscating bikes with only one brake. Rather harsh methinks…

His suggestion, ride fast or get a lawyer.

Anyway, this rather lovely illustration from Shaun Malinowski seemed appropriate.

I loved parappa when it came out, so fresh… and the 2D thing looked amazing…

I think I love it more, mainly due to the fact it still looks amazing and ‘fresh’.

Thanks to Kathy Kavan at Another Design Blog for posting tons of cool stuff.

That’s a bit ‘wrong’ isn’t it?

Thanks to Highsnobiety

Well, mine aren’t. I hope. Haven’t heard from some for a while… Lovely, dark and utterly ace.

Love this shot from Jamie, better known as from me to you

An amazing falafal wrap (sorry just remnants left, it was hefty), a nice beer and only 3.50€ damage. What’s not to like? Berlin, I  love you!

Not really.
