Perhaps this is something I should have done sooner. It's the why behind La Velocita. Why did it start, why the name, why the approach, what's your background, why, why, why. People have been asking me these questions a lot recently, so here it all is...

Roaming the roads and trails of Adelaide is an extraordinary bike. It’s an Open U.P., the revolutionary bike that can take mountain bike and road/cyclocross wheels.

This particular bike has been built to an impossibly high standard. I met the owner, the bike, and the builder so I could tell the story of this sublime machine. To protect the owner’s privacy, I refer to him as Mr LMA (Luckiest Man Alive) for reasons that will be very obvious.

In a quiet unit block in Adelaide's eastern suburbs is the workshop of Buck!t belts creator, Craig Northam. On the surface, Buck!t converts used bicycle tyres into belts, watch straps and wallets. 

At La Velocita we love talking to people that make cycling better. Over the last 18 months I’ve got to know Damian Hancock and Nancy De Losa.

They are the passionate husband and wife team behind Melbourne based brand a’qto. I caught up with them at this year's Audax Alpine Classic to talk about what’s next.

This weekend sees the arrival of Rapha's first pop-up within Australia... and we're excited to see that Melbourne is the host city. 

Located in the Heritage listed Coops Shot Tower, on the outskirts of the iconic Melbourne Central building visiting the pop-up is a must.

He’s established himself as just about the most knowledgeable commentator in the business and is currently airing his second season of The Bike Lane. 

We spent some time riding with Matthew Keenan at this year’s Dirty Dozen.

We've been talking with Ivan Dennis about Sommerville Sports Australia, The New York based custom kit offering is now available in Australia and we're keen to find out what they are all about.

Today we are talking to Meg Gillmer. She’s better known as ‘The Wholesome Athlete’, and is on a mission to bring us all fresh, seasonal and simple food to get the most out of our bodies and move away from processed products.

Being the nationals there would have been a much bigger crowd than what you would usually expect, how were they?

The crowd created a great atmosphere around the course and lifted all the riders to push that little bit further. It was a good feeling to race past the start/finish line with people lining the streets cheering you on. Although the crowd on the hill were not nice enough to give me a push on the last lap!
