Spin LDN, the mini-festival that celebrates cycling’s influence in everyday culture, will take residency at the Old Truman Brewery this year, providing an action packed schedule of activities that includes lessons in the growing art of ‘bike-polo’ & demonstrations from ex-bike thieves on how not to get your bike stolen. In only its second year of existence, Spin LDN has emerged as a platform to showcase many of the parts of society that cycling has influenced – from the fashion it has spawned to the film-making it has inspired.
Across three days, Spin LDN will hero some of the most progressive, forward thinking international brands and smaller independent makers from across the bike world, including handmade frames from artisan builders, emerging cycle fashion brands, off-the-peg bikes, accessories, cycle-wear and cyclic artwork.
SPIN LDN will incorporate three days of activities & entertainment that invokes the spirit of cycling. A completely grass roots-inclusive event, Spin LDN 14 promises to deliver the ultimate cycling festival experience for every level of cyclist be they the discerning rider, commuter, enthusiast or uninitiated.
Says event founder Alex Daw,“ You can’t ignore the fact that cycling is now mainstream in London & becoming so in the UK. As a result, it has created its own unique culture formed from sub cultures and independent movements. This event mirrors the buzz, energy and synergy of cycling and contemporary culture. For consumers nowadays craft, heritage and convenience are paramount – as such we are providing a platform for independent brands and retailers whom you won’t find on the high street. All this set against a backdrop of thought provoking talks, Live Bike Polo, trick demos, cyclic comedy, Art, DJ’s, Theatre, Belgian craft ale, coffee & street food”
