Natooke is an oh-so-niche trick cycle and juggling ball shop located in the Dongcheng district of Beijing. The fixed-gear bikes (from 2,800RMB) are circus standard, while the diabolos, rola bolas and the standard juggling balls are pretty cheap, too. Bike rentals and juggling workshops also offered. Stop in for a closer look at what’s new around Beijing.

Dupree, a 25 year old bike mechanic and advocate at Natooke-a fixed gear and juggling store– told me stories of his youth living in a Hutong with a big shared yard and a 400 year old tree. The yard provided a large flexible open space to ride and race with friends until someone falls down. Unfortunately, spaces like this are now protected from shenanigans by the government–reducing the available space for bike play in Beijing.

This week, Natooke is organizing a series of bike races for the fixed-gear bike set. The full schedule is here and the two big events are Thursday’s Scratch Race and Saturday’s Alleycat Race.

The Scratch Race is basically going to involve a circuit around the Olympic Forest–three full laps amounting to 19 km. Then, switch gears for the Alleycat Race, a more “relaxed” event: “it’s not just about the fastest,” says Sred Nisser of Natooke, “but about the smartest way around. It tests how much you know the city.”

To keep things fair, organizers will hand out maps of the course on the day of the race. Checkpoints will be spread all throughout the city, and you can speed through them any order you like–after an amusing little challenge, that is.

Registration is essential (for insurance purposes, naturally enough) and events are open only to those with a fixed-gear bike. Sign up online or e-mail beijingfg@hotmail.com for more details.
