COG Magazine

COG Magazine came out with their first issue in the fall of 2007 and raised the bar on the entire genre. The three issues since have shown constant improvement on an already good game, and the forthcoming hardcover photo book promises the same. The magazine features stellar photography throughout, presented on large format heavy gloss paper along the lines of some of the more arty magazines on the newsstand. The theme is fixed, and everything that goes with riding a fixed gear…and only things that involve a fixed gear. No shifters, no freewheels, few brakes. It doesn’t hurt that everyone we’ve met from COG has been an all around great guy, sharing the same passion for bikes and media making that we know too well. If you haven’t read COG Magazine yet, you should. Even if you don’t ride fixed, the photography is some of the best around. And maybe if you ask nice you can get a set of the pictured printed bar plugs, as they don’t seem to be available online.
