Ah, Fitzroy...

Recently, we had a trip out to good old Fitzroy, and, inevitably, found ourselves walking up Brunswick St. Now Brunswick St has always been home to everything retro, "indie", and arty so I wasn't exactly surprised when I saw some really funky street art on nearly every block! At this point in time I had already taken my phone (The only thing I had with me) out of my pocket and started taking pictures of everything I thought was good. I hope these will prove my point that Fitzroy isn't all cafes refugees...
Take note that it was quite bright, so some of the pictures may be a bit faded.

Fixed - Not Broken!

Hey, as you may have read my brother and I love food, art and bikes.

So I thought we could start it off with the bikes. I started to get into bikes about 2-3 years ago, when I decided to rebuild my old off-road bike. This soon became an obsession so I decided to go to my local velodrome and had a ride on one of their track bikes, better known as a “fixie”.  Since then I’ve built two fixies, one with a brake and one without (My track bike). After constantly talking about fixies with my brother, I finally got him to try my one out, and about 1 month after he decided to buy his own and customise it to his liking.

Now you may ask me what a fixie is and why they are so special. Well the answer to all your questions will be explained throughout this blog.

A Small Intro

Hello, this is just a little bit about us, and why we've started this blog :)

Our names our Ben and Dan Le Mesurier and we've grown up in a pretty alright family. We've traveled around a bit, visiting places like Argentina, Fiji, and numerous others (as babies). It has been quite a multicultural place, our family, and our house is now something of a museum. We were both born in Zimbabwe, but we moved to England when I was two. Now we've ended up in Melbourne, Australia, and for the past 10 years we've loved it. This blog is about all the things we love in Melbourne:

• The Bikes
• The Food
• The Coffee
• The Street Art

 Me and my brother, Ben, will both be writing on this blog, so you may pick up on little things in the writing. But, for now, here are a few pictures of us over the years (Not a lot, don't worry!).
