Again, it took more time than I was hoping, but in the end everything turned out really great. I hope you like this collection, read on to learn more!

For this late summer collection I teamed up with a friend of mine, Arif Demir, he is a graphic designer and typographer. He played around with our „The Kids all Ride“ slogan and came up with a really nice script version and a great Pixação version. Especially the Pixação, a tagging/graffiti style from the southeastern metropolitan areas in south america, version look awesome, with it’s bold lettering.
The „TKAR Script“ is available as a Baseball Longsleeve Shirt. The „TKAR Pixa“ is available with a large black print on a white or grey heather shirt and also as a special reflective version! The reflective version features a large reflective print on a black shirt!

This late summer collection also marks the first part of a really special collaboration.
Peter Aurisch, a multi-talented artist from Berlin, drew some amazing artworks exclusive for AURORA and i’m really happy to finally release the first artwork today. I’m a huge fan of his art and i’m very proud that I can work together with him.

Check out Peter Aurischs first Artwork for AURORA, It’s called „Ride 1“.
His signature style with a super fine screen print on a soft Baseball Longsleeve Shirt!
This shirt is highly limited and each shirt comes with a special sticker pack!

To top it all off, there is also a assortment of completely new designed 5 Panel Caps.
Made in Europe! Made from awesome Linen fabric.
The perfect 5 Panel Caps to go with the new shirts.

As said, I hope you like this new collection.
Head over to the webshop and get your gear now!

Perrion – “Get A Job”

You might have seen Perrion before, I mentioned him several times on the website and the AURORA facebook page.
He is still going strong working on his new EP. “Get A Job” is the first song from this upcoming EP and Perrion released it with a nice music video.
In the opening scene he is rocking the AURORA “Skate” Shirt.
Good tunes, good taste!

Also check out the “Get A Job” live performance.
There Perrion wears the beloved AURORA “Serif” Snapback.
Really great to see such a great artist supporting AURORA.

WE ARE TRAFFIC: Mianzi Rei and the Winter in Berlin

auroracollective — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:52:08 +0000

During the Berliner Fahrrad Schau 2013 I had the chance to meet the guys behind WE ARE TRAFFIC. Björn and Till are portraying cyclists mainly in Hamburg, but also everywhere else. With WE ARE TRAFFIC they want to draw attention to the bicycle as means of transport and also show the differences and diversity of each bicycle and his owner.
In the last 6 months they portrayed more than 100 people and they are preparing to raise funds to publish all this as a coffee-table book version. This project is really worth supporting, check out this page to support WE ARE TRAFFIC.

Some of you might remember Mianzi Rei (Part 2), she is a model from Berlin and we also met at the Fahrrad Schau this year. She is riding AURORA V1 Velcro Straps on her schindelhauer bike for a while now and supports AURORA when ever she can. I’m really happy to see this much support from all those great people.

Björn from WE ARE TRAFFIC took the chance and did a spontaneous shooting with Mianzi in the snowy Berlin. The pictures came out really great. Thanks to both of them.

GUDE ZEIT #1!

auroracollective — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:30:44 +0000

“Gude Zeit” = “Good Times”

That’s what’s it all about.

The force that guides and moves us!
My friend Lorenzo Taurino collected adventures, stories, anecdotes and photographs from his journies and added some more of close friends. All this composed in a neatly printed zine.
Also included is the custom made AURORA x AH310 Bill Cosby Cycling Cap.
I’m really proud to be a small part of this first issue.

You get this zine for free with every order, just add it to your cart and other products.
But feel free to donate something to GUDE ZEIT, if you like to support it and want to help to release more issues!

Principia Track – “Phantom”

auroracollective — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 02:48:44 +0000

Hej,
I just wanted to post my beloved Principia to the Pedalroom website and thought that I could also post it here.
Not much personal bike content here so far, so why not change this?
The Principia is simply my favorite bike, it’s just subtle and beautiful all black. That’s why I use to call it “Phantom”.
I’ve built it up more than 2,5 years ago and just rode it since then. I will never give it away, for me this one is not replaceable and it outlived a lot other frames/parts/bikes so far. The parts used in the current built are mostly chosen because of the weight and quality. Step by step I tried to push down the weight and in the current set-up the Principia weights only about 7,5 kg.

I also really like the AURORA V1 velcro straps on this bike. These are one of the first prototypes made in early summer 2009. I’m not riding as hard as many others and not that long as so many couriers do everyday worldwide, but I’m happy that they still do well after more than 3 years. Compared to the AURORA Straps today, they look really crappy, but it is also good to see where it all started and how everything developed in the right direction.

Principia Track Frame 2004
Principia/Isaac 004 Fork – Carbon w/ Aluminium Steerer
