Black kids on Bikes

A little over a year ago a couple friends and I started the freedom ride to gather black cyclists. Here a couple great videos put together by some of our riders.


red and black fixie

I built this one a long as time ago for someone. Dude never showed up to pay for it.

I ended up stipping it down and re building it for myself.  It all works out in the end.

New Fixie

I met this dude Samon at Bikerowave last year, he finally got around to having me build him a bike.  I love/hate when I build a new fixie that rides so smooth I dont want to give it up.

If you want me to build a bike for you to your specifications, hit me up. James@Afropunk.com


Magazine Press (PICS) – Freedom Ride

This has been a good month for the Black kids on Bikes. We got some pretty great press in a bicycle magazine called Momentum. You can read the article here.

There was also a significantly long article on me, the black kids on bikes, some of my past work and my plans for the future in ALARM Magazine. My scanner is literally being held together by tape so you’ll have to go out and buy the issue. It’s the one with OM on the cover. My name is on the top right, next to Ian Svenonius’.  Here are some pics.

For just over a year now I have been converting old ten speeds to Fixed or Single Speed. My prices are such that I tend to get a lot of first time riders on the road. I like that.  Here are some of my favorites.  You can see the entire collection on my facebook page. Here is the public link. Add me as a Friend if you wish.
