Rig Bike Shop, West Regent Street, Glasgow

So I was recently in Glasgow for work purposes and ended up with some time to kill before flying back to London, so off I wandered, under a glorious clear sky, across the city center...
It wasn't too long before a bike chained to a post with an advertising board directed me up the hill to a bike shop set in the basement under a rollerskate shop.
This is Rig bike shop, 141 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 2SG, catering mostly for the Fixed Gear, Track and Messenger orientated. Rig is friendly staffed with a tidy selection of both new and secondhand frames, components and merch to browse through and a great indie vibe. The store has been open for around 3 years, but if you're new to the area or just passing by you're unlikely to come across its location by a web search. But it's well worth a call in, have a good chat and pick up a store shirt!

Look Mum No Hands! New jersey available now

Clothing splurge!!
*** Updated ***

The new Look Mum No Hands! jersey is now available from their store in both Mens and Womens cuts!

David Millar Vs Liam Phillips Vs The World - Parkour Ride, London, 4th October 2014

Parkour Ride will kick off in just under a months time and David Millar will be joining in the fun!
 " I'll be racing @ParkourRide Oct 4th in London, it's a little different to the Vuelta"
(He said it on Twitter, it must be true!)




Parkour Ride is a multi-discipline head-to-head elimination race with two riders racing a special circuit up and down the multi-storey car park. The event space will vary across every level, featuring different spectator attractions, music, food stalls and bars around the circuit. Technology, sound and video will be harnessed to create a unique audio/visual experience for fans and riders.

Parkour Ride is open to male and female riders on all kinds of bikes. The main disciplines will be BMX, mountain bike and road bike (including fixed gear/single speed).

Riders will line up against Parkour Ride pros. Pros include Parkour Ride ambassador and World BMX Champion, Liam Phillips, plus stars from the worlds of BMX, mountain bike, track and road.

the Circuit is going to be like this. Should be simple enough going up, but pretty tight turns at speed coming down. The Parkour Ride winner will receive £2000 & the top 10 riders will receive prizes from the race partners and sponsors.
