Single Fin Classic

At Bondi Beach Cruisers we LOVE all things classic, which is why we're especially pumped about the Single Fin Classic. If your'e keen to get involved grab your entry form here, otherwise just head down to Bondi Beach on November 5 to catch all the action and enjoy some tunes aswell.

Wheel Decks - Music on wheels.. literally

The Dutch is always on the front of the bicycling world, they love their bike so much that these dutch designers fitted a record player on the wheels of a bike.

Designers Merel Slootheer, Pieter Frank de Jong and Liat Azulay says:

Simple alterations to the bike’s structure makes it easy to change records, and a few tweaks to the “crank of the bike and the chain” ensures records don’t skip. The record screws onto the bike frame with a small cap, and the needle is spring-loaded to keep it steady. To allow (or force?) pedestrians to hear your tunes as you zoom by, the designers installed a megaphone-style amplifier made out of plumbing materials.

 Although its not quite perfect yet (The difficulty of getting the right speed to play the record needs to be solved) can't wait for the tune up so I can stroll down the beach listening to old school tunes!!

Mind Control

Scientists have unveiled the world's first bicycle with gears you can change simply by using your mind.


The Toyota Prius Project Parlee PXP bike has a thought-controlled gearbox that works by responding to cues from the brain - and experts believe anyone will be able to master the technique. The rider wears a specially designed “neuron helmet”, which transfers brainwaves using wireless technology.


Is this the future of cycling? I'm not sure it would be safe for someone with a short attention span such as myself. If I start thinking about icecream will it take me directly to the nearest Gelatissimo?
