This fixed gear thing is worldwide, just like Mishka. When we put out the D.A.R.T. team a few years back, it was hard to tell what the fixed gear and track bike scene would do and even more difficult to tell what the D.A.R.T. thing would do. Well, here we are, present day. The scene is huge and D.A.R.T. is getting some world-wide love!

Iave from Dodici reppin the sold-out D.A.R.T. New Era. Dodici is an Italian bicycle frame and component company. They make some killer rims and a gnarly track frame. Head to their blog and check it out. It’s great seeing the younger generation picking up where their older predecessors left off.

This weekend was the Pedal It Don’t Push It trick competition in Taipei City, Taiwan. Toku and Marco from W-base, a shop in Tokyo were flown out there to participate. Here’s Toku (eyes closed, dowh!) rocking his DART New Era. Picture via cogWei. Later that day Toku fell during the competition and landed on his heel, putting him in the same boat I was in my first night in Tokyo. Heel (heh) up buddy!

Big ups guys! Keep pushing what you’re doing!
