Chengdu’s Fixed Gear Bikes: Interview with Jacob of Natooke Cycles

Picture 1 CL: Who are you, and what brings you to Chengdu?

I’m Jacob Klink, originally of Albuquerque, New Mexico and my business partner is Larry Adamson. He’s from Lewiston in Upstate New York. We both recently moved to Chengdu from Beijing where we formerly worked.

Chengdu attracted us with its superior ride-ability: it’s near mountains; the weather is great; never too hot, never too cold; the atmosphere and the people are wonderful.

After visiting a few times we both couldn’t deny the fact we wanted to be here.

“Ines and her Fixed Gear Bikes” Interview with Bloom

伊泉 和她的死飞自行车自行车心得揭秘《BLOOM》:你是什么时候开始接触死飞自行车的?伊泉:我小时候是学体操的,13岁时开始在死飞自行车上表演。那个时候这种自行车只能用于表演和场地自行车赛,不能骑上公路。那之后我就迷上了自行车,上下学时别人都坐校车,我自己骑自行车回家,路上要骑几十分钟也不嫌累。《BLOOM》:死飞自行车的构造?伊泉:死飞自行车是非常美丽的,因为它们简化到只有一个车架、两个轮子、一个车把和座子,通常没有齿轮转换器、没有挡泥板、没有灯、没有反光板,看上去是很简单纯净的一辆车。《BLOOM》:什么时候开始在中国玩“死飞”?有跟别人一起玩吗?伊泉:大概五六年前,有一次我应邀去美国参加表演,发现表演专用的死飞自行车出了新产品,可以在公路上骑了,我立马就买了一辆带回北京。在德国时,有一个骑车俱乐部,俱乐部的人一起聚会,一起出去玩,很开心。在北京,我也想找这样的一个小圈子。有一天在街上看到一个人骑着死飞行车,我追上去一问,得知对方是英国人,从英国带来了这辆车。之后我们又找到了四五个人,他们也都是“死飞”的爱好者。《BLOOM》:为什么你要放弃高管工作,选择开死飞自行……(
