Hello 你好！

6/12  8pm > 巨脏“圣诞老人”骑行活动 @ NATOOKE – BIG DIRTY SANTA COSTUME RIDE @ Natooke 很久以前，公元4世纪，在小亚西亚有一位好心的主教，他的名字叫尼古拉斯。12月6日这一天是圣尼古拉斯节。荷兰人在12月6日这天模仿他给孩子们送礼物。此次的圣诞老人骑行活动像往常一样在晚上进行，天气寒冷，请大家穿的暖和一些。当晚，每一位骑行者都穿着圣诞老人的衣服，于是，北京一下子出现了很多位骑着单车的圣诞老人。想象一下我们的车队排开在大街小巷，车灯一路上闪闪发光，保证了安全的同时也是一道亮丽的风景。(晚8点从Natooke出发) December 6th is St. Nicholas Day, a day to honor a kind bishop named Nicholas living in Minor Asia in 4th century. The Dutch imitate him to give gifts to children on December 6th every year. Nicholas costume is similar to Santa Claus costume. Tonight, the Big Dirty Santa Costume Ride will happen. Wear a Santa Claus costume (if possible, or something else related) and ride. We look forward to many cycling Santa Clauses in Beijing. This colorful bike group with sparkling lights will be a splendid scenery at night. We will ride together leisurely and have great fun. Meet up at Natooke shop and we will leave together at 8pm.

It was a sunny day in Beijing on November 24th. The fixed gear fans and cycling lovers met up at Natooke, and then led by Ines headed for 798 Art District where the other group of cyclists were waiting for them. The two big groups rode together to Long Long Art Space happily on colorful bikes. Bike polo match, shoot out competition, track stand competition, inner tube changing, child bike race, and beauty competition went ahead smoothly. Every participant joined the games actively and happily. The bike tricks by Ines and the “Natooke Gangnam Style” gave us an amazing impression. The winners and the other participants received the prizes by the sponsors (Fendor Bendor, Ribcap, Donen, Freedom, ABUS and Crumpler). The Mini Fixed Gear Revolution came to an end perfectly and we already know we will be hosting another one. For more, please click here.

2012年高雄自行车马球赛 Takao Bike Polo Cup 2012

今年Natooke派出了三组队员参加这次的台湾自行马球赛。日本队摘得第一名。他们向大家展示了非常令人钦佩的自行车马球技术。Natooke两个男子组都进入了决赛。北京这一组男队员表现很好，取得了第五名的成绩；成都这一组男队员表现也很好，他们取得了第七名。 Natooke的女队员们表现的不是那么好，主要原因是她们从来没有在一起配合过。我们已经计划来年再战！

This year Natooke had 3 teams participate in the bike polo cup in Taiwan. First place went to the Japanese team who showed us very impressive bike polo skills. Both Natooke men teams made it into the finals. Natooke Beijing men team played well and came in on 5th place. The Natooke Chengdu team also played very well and came in on 7th place. The Natooke girls team did not play so well but mainly due to the fact that these girls had never played together. We are already planning on going there again next year.

Natooke商店焕新颜 New Face of Natooke Shop

最近几天，我们对Natooke商店内部进行了重新布置与装修。我们把原来很长的货柜挪了地方，又把两面墙上安装了白色的墙板。这样就誊出更多的空间，方便我们的顾客挑选零件配车。在墙板上我们陈列出了不同种类的小零件和工具，方便顾客自己挑选，比如：防污染面具、多功能折叠工具组、车灯、车表、把套/把带等等。我们希望大家在Natooke商店里觉得很舒服。另外，一批多彩的、可爱的街头运动头盔也来了，很亮眼。欢迎大家来店里看看吧。

Recently we redecorated our Natooke shop. There more larger space after moving the place of the large cabinet and installing wooden wallboards. Now it is even more convenient for our customers to pick out the bike parts for their own designed bikes. Moreover, it is alos easier to find some bike accessories hanging on the white tidy wallboard, such as anti-pollution masks, multifunctional folding tools, cycle computers, bike lights, grips and handlebar tape…. We hope you feel much more comfort in our shop. By the way, there is an eye-catching pile of colorful cute street sport Nutcase helmets. So welcome to visit our Natooke shop with a brand new face.

从台北骑到高雄 Ride from Taipei to Kaohsiung

杰克、拉里、夏洛特和伊泉计划骑着他们的死飞自行车在两天之内从台北骑到高雄。但实际上台北下着雨，天气预报也说在第一段行程路段（从台北到台中）会有雨，因此我们取消了那段骑行行程，决定只是从台中骑到高雄。尽管预报说是多云转晴的天气，但事实上我们是在雨中骑行了将近220公里。我们选择了一条平地路线，这样在潮湿的天气下使得骑行较容易一些，即使这样，我们也用了将近11个小时。

Jake, Larry, Charlotte and Ines planned to ride their fixed gear bikes from Taipei to Kaohsiung in 2 days. But actually it was raining a lot in Taipei and the forecast also had rain for the first part so we canceled that part and decided to only cycle from Taichung to Kaohsiung. Despite the forecast saying cloudy/sunny we actually cycled most of the 220km in rain. We chose a flat route and cycled easily in the wet weather for almost 11 hours.
