She’s fast. “Fashionable” Florien won the Ronde van Klarendal this afternoon. We were invited to come over to our neighbour’s neighbourhood (Het Modekwartier) to help kids ride to the finishline. They did a very good job and had a lot of fun. It was nice to see kids on a bicycle doing a race. Hoogtepunt van de dag was the ladies-race in which our Cycloon bikemessenger competed. She won by several lenghts and got her prize out of the hands of Leontien van Moorsel.

Vielleicht noch etwas früh fur Haute Mode dieses Jahr. Aber nicht geschmissen ist immer Mist. Mein Freund und sehr gewaardehrte Kollega Thiemo Schürmensch laßt uns auf unterstehendes Foto sehen wie die geilste Trikot in die Heimat daar aus seht. Wir waren nämlich beim Rose Sondernausverkauf letzte Mittwoch. Ich denk das er sich was zuviel durch sein Mädchen beinflussen lassen hat. Was hält ihr davon? Will er auf diese Weise der Tour de France gewinnen?

So if you didn’t get it by now, we’re about art and kunstzinnigheid in the capital of Gelderland. I can’t recall seeing any thing cool, made in Arnhem, that once left an everlasting neverending impression on me. But, I could be wrong. Although… they invited the Rotterdam Night Mayor pour aider un peux cachet au festivitees and you have to go out of town for a bikeride. Catch my drift?

People keep sending me spam and mail and idiot writing on their ideas about using my website . They all have the same sort of solution. Your daily blog is de uitgelezen mogelijkheid for selling my stuff, they tell me. Or, in other words I should become the next www-adres with tons of nonsense advertorials. But I refuse, next thing you know, I’m helping Lance Armstrong out with a shortcut to win his next Tour de France. No way!

Revolutionary, this summer, Le Haute stops wearing tights! Hahahahahhaaaa, like NOT. If you want to be taken serious, you gotta look like a professional. Act up and start all over again. Get rid of that silly looking baggy trousers and dito shirt, start wearing a helmet and cycling clothes for your job. That is, if you’re a bikemessenger offcourse. All other businessmen and yuppies can do whatever they like.

Living the life of a fietskoerier is easy. You got your bike and bag because that’s the job you do. Being a fakenger it’s a bit harder cause you might wanna take the bus on the rainy days. But imagine yourself being a commuter. The kind of type that takes the morning train to work and then cycles the last 2.73 kilometres to the office. Then you need a bike that looks cool, right?

Nice. We were playing some Urban Bicycle Polo in Arnhem with the boys yesterday. When all of a sudden (not really, according to the buienradar) it started raining cats and dawgs. We didn’t stop and things got even more sketchy than Mitch riding his toe-clips. Made me remember, this is still Holland we’re riding in.

Comme l”habitude, n’est-ce pas? No clothing for the masses but this is AMB month, it’s all about “La Mode”. The Arnhem Mode Biennale is in full effect and I’m only showing what other people wanna see. This usefull linki was sent to me by my girl Roos from Subwalk. Merci.

Wilkommen, welkom, welcome. Haute City will be fashion capitol of the universe for the next month. Today is the start of the Arnhem Mode Biennale where SHAPE is the connecting thread of the greatest cultural fashion event in the world. Prinses Max-I-Ma stays over for dinner apres l’ouverture officielle.
