Words & pictures by Cello La notte delle Seghe fa una paura. Fottuta. A tutti. Per questo prendi su e cerchi di fuggire. Sulle montagne: "Magari non mi beccano, non c'è neanche la radio transistor". Ma poi cosa trovi? colori pazzi crocs di benvenuto tramonti sfumati ungulati sbranati dai lupi saputelli brianzoli flair Basta e avanza...

Words by Guido Casbah and OK Fede / Pictures by Cello & OK Fede Words by Guido Casbah I saw everything, I saw nothing. I saw thousands stars shining in a crystal clear sky, I saw animals and magic trees, memories of peoples passed by, martyrs, heroes, wayfarers and bandits. I saw them all but I haven’t seen none of them. We were nowhere, we were everywhere. We...
1. PREFACE: YOU CAN NOT GET OUT ALIVE FROM THE ‘90s (words by Clava) When I was young (my grandpa stories always started like this…) I attended the high school. It was during the 90s and I remember I had the habit to go up on my house attic rummaging and searching inside dusty closets looking for scrawny and shabby clothes that not even grandpa used anymore, not even to spade the...
Words & Pictures by LuLu NdE: What you're next to read is not written in native English, as you'll immediately guess. But we wanted to keep it like it is, because only in this way you can imagine what is hearing the story directly from our friend LuLu's voice. One morning I wake up. My brain start thinking what's different with italian and finnish peoples? I get a idea. Going by bike...
Words & Pictures by Guido Casbah The first thing that came to my mind when my boss said: “I’m sorry Guido, we lost our big client, in two months there will be no more work for you” was “ok I’ll ride to Aquasanta Terme for the Holy Water Death Race then”. Two months later I was on a train to Pietrasanta that I decided it would have been the starting...
Words & Pictures by Roberto “ventoinfacciagigisabanisettebellezzeuranuran” Contessa Day 1 (Galway – Clifden / 91Km / Sun is shining on the beginners). We reached Ireland yesterday night, with our boxes full of bike components (which only Odin knew if will be assembled again in the right order), dreams, and a lot of doubts on what we would have found here in Ireland. Hosted by a friend we spent some hours...
Words & Pictures by Ila “It’s all uphill!”: these words kept echoing in my head for the entire journey, as a mantra, followed by a series of nice exclamations that are not quite appropriate for a young lady. Day 1 Trieste (IT) - Grahovo, Cerknica, (SLO) Day 2 Grahovo, Cerknica, (SLO) - Kostanjevica na Krki, Krško, (SLO) Ok, I kind of knew it, I’ve been organising this for the months…long rides,...
Words & pictures by Clava Il treno interregionale entra lentamente nella stazione dell'estremo nord-est dove la strada ferrata s'interrompe. Sono a Trieste. Domani si andrà oltre, con la speranza di incontrare quello che non si è immaginato di incontrare. Ad attendermi tre Toscani, futuri compagni di viaggio: Righe da Prato, Gnabra da Arezzo e Gori da Nozzano Castello. Hanno già provveduto all'alloggio per la notte, un oratorio ci offrirà ospitalità...
Words & pictures by Cello So, here we are Ladies and Gentlemen to narrate the 3rd and last day of maze. I'm here laying on the couch with a laptop on my lap and a beer in my left hand, already missing the stony forays of the days ago through the lands of thin air and redden arses. I asked Pagha if he had by chance taken any picture of me (riding, or...
