What’s good people?
A lot of cycling going on at the moment. First week of the Tour de France 2012 is over and besides a lot of crashes it is a exciting event. I’m curious about the next two weeks.
Right after the Tour the Olympic Games 2012 in London will start. This year the Games open with the road cycling events on 28th of july. But much more interesting are the Track Championships starting 2nd of august. A lot germany rider will compete and some of them will sport the AURORA Velcro straps in their races. They found them at the KEIRIN cycling cafe in Berlin and the good people at KEIRIN provided them with several pairs to check them out. In the last two years they tested and approved them in several competitions.
I’m really looking forward to see Maximilian Levy again in a thrilling battle against Chris Hoy.
In April Maximilian Levy reached the 2nd place in the Keirin Finals just centimeters after Chris Hoy at the UCI Track World Championships in Melbourne.

Good Luck!

Sebastian

Hej,
hope you are doing well, just want to drop some lines for you to keep you up to date.
The small celebration raffle for AURORAs 1000th facebook like was a success and I found 3 lucky winners. Thanks for all who joined the raffle.

Today and yesterday I visited The Good Will Out sneaker store in cologne, it’s probably the best in Germany. It was kind of a camp out for the Asics Gel Lyte III x WOEI “Cervidae”. Pretty awesome sneaker. Really nice craftmanship and detailing on this one. Check these pictures on SneakerBobs Blog.
I met some really nice people around the store and besides some rain and stuff, it was great.
One of them also got a small label, it’s called Starship Clothing, check it out!

Another thing I would like to share with you are my plans to visit Paris for some days around the 07. july to 11. july. I’m meeting up with Joey Dodd from Australia, you might know him from one of my favorite shirts: AURORA “The Chase” black / “The Chase” white.
Really curious about this awesome city and of course about meeting him. If you are from Paris maybe drop a line and maybe we can meet up aswell for a ride or a beer.

After this I really would like to make short trip to London. Never been there, but really want to take the chance and get there in july/august. So if you are from London and have some space to sleep for 3-4 days, it would be really awesome.

Kind of a pretty personal posting this time, but I hope you don’t mind. There are news on new gear aswell. The cut&sew Zippers and Pants are arriving in the next days and also the new 5 Panel Colorway is in production. I hope to release these pieces along with some more stuff around August/September.
Besides this, i’m prototyping on a large Messenger Bag and also a new Velcro Strap version – the V3.
Not sure when these products will be released, but you will notice. Promised!

Thanks a lot for your time.

Sebastian

This is Micaela Neto, she is 25 years old and works as a graphic designer in Lisboa, Portugal.

Her last bike was from her father, a kind of family heritage, a classic road bike from the 70′s.
Now she bought this single speed bike, which was built up by RODA GIRA (facebook) using mainly 8bar Bikes (facebook) Parts and also AURORA Velcro Straps.

I can’t live without bikes, because it’s my way of living the city, my everyday transport and, when you get used to this kind of freedom, it becomes impossible to live without your bike.

- Micaela

With her friends she started a bike collective, named Matilha Cycle Crew. With this collective they aim to promote a cycling lifestyle in the city, with no boundaries, traffic jams or stressful rides.
At Matilha Cycle Crew they are always looking for some nice ideas and events to turn Lisboa in a bike friendly city, one step at a time.

So, next time any of you visit Lisboa, just say “Hello” and you will definitely find some nice people to ride with.
