JUST SKIDDING

A bicycle without brakes? Not kidding. 
Welcome to the world of fixies. A bicycle stripped down to its barest, purest form, with no gears and no brakes. Riding becomes intuitive as the fixie responds to your every movement, every shift in weight of your body. 

This artwork features two riders skidding in synchronicity – a braking technique that can only be achieved with a fixie. 

The image is formed out of thousands of tiny fixies (6825 to be exact), each painstakingly put into place by myself. As an ode to the first bike ever invented, the tiny fixies with different wheel profiles are crafted in the actual dimensions of a fixed-gear bike. 

This is for all fixed-gear riders who never stop pedaling.

As an avid cyclist, I decided to combine two of my passions – bicycles and art – into 100copies. All of the products you see here are limited to, as the name suggests, 100 copies. Each piece of work will be stamped and labeled with the edition number. As such, no two copies are ever completely identical.You can visit www.100copies.net to purchase the poster.
