Jack the Bike Rack

Brotures OSAKA are keeping the fixed gear dream alive.
Although Osaka and Japan overall isn't so friendly or free for Alley Cat cat's to do what they do best (own the streets with a bike), we were very happy to see purist style fixed gear vibes alive and kickin' in the heart of Osaka.

There were some pretty slick rides on display, and the whole crew there were pretty slick themselves.
Sometimes rules are made to be broken, and that is what we love to see.
Keep up the good work guys 💪.

We're going back in a couple weeks, and we cannot wait to sip in those Osaka feels again.

Did you know,... we got straps!?
Stiff or Stretchy, to suit your packing style, with some nice little details that make the difference.
No rocket-science 🧬. Just reliable and strong. 💪

Bungees come as Standard with JACK, and can do it all.
Use STIFF's for the ultimate in secure loads.

And if you already use our STIFF's or BUNGEES, we'd love to see all the crazy and interesting ways you use them! 👀✨

We spent some time with the crew and Wholegrain Cycles stockist Eirin late September last year - a small chain of bike shops each with their own vibe. The one we visited in Kyoto leans into the outdoors: gravel bikes, camping gear and all the good stuff. (Also… a thing for small birds 🐦‍⬛)

We headed out for a ride with , and Yoshi, rolling north of Kyoto into the hills. Good people, easy miles and incredible surroundings!
