I like cycling and I like art, so I was pretty excited to see that A—B had hooked up with London based artist Von to curate a cycle route around the best art galleries and art shops in the East London area. Starting at the Barbican, it takes you on a tour through Shoreditch, Hoxton Sq and Old Street passing the likes of the Signal Gallery, StolenSpace, Beach London, Nelly Duff, KK Outlet, Kemistry Gallery, Nobrow and many more, not to mention some of the best spots to grab coffee/beer/food. If you’re a regular reader of Booooooom and you’re planning a trip to London soon, you should definitely bookmark this for future reference.

You can find the route details here (and on twitter), along with a bunch of other cycle routes curated by a mix of influencers, tastemakers, independent cycling brands, cycling journalists/bloggers and general enthusiasts. I have it on good authority that there are more US and European routes planned in the near future.

COMPETITION: To mark the occasion, Booooooom & We Occupy have hooked up with Von and A—B to offer you a chance of winning 1 of 10 Risograph prints by the artist.

Simply leave a comment below, describing your favorite cycle route. We will then pick the 10 that sound the most interesting.

Closes: 1st March

Finally! A blog combining two of my favourite things – no, not homemade spaghetti and cleaning my ears with q-tips – this one’s about art galleries and jumping!

Allison Reimus, creator of JumpingInArtMuseums has been inviting people to send in photos of their jumps for her site and now she is taking it a step further. Next Monday (December 8th). 6:30 PM. MoMA. There will be an organized art jump! So all you New Yorkers get out there – the meeting spot is in front of the Pipilotti Rist exhibit.
