XIE Bicycles Free Paper vol. 1
Nagatani Shin 
*Out of print




A project made with a dear friend and bicycle builder, Nagatani Shin. A love letter for all bicycles, and all ways of riding. 

Shin runs and owns XIE Bicycles located in Shugakuin; a small and cozy hamlet just under the mountains in the northern suburbs of Kyoto city.  

The zine works as a letter, and its first iteration focused on Taiwan’s Cycling Route 1. It was meant to continue as a series but turned instead into ephemera  -  we only managed to make the one.
