This article about JOSEF BAYER was first published in the PEDAL PROJECT MAGAZINE, issue nr.3 and presented in Prague. It was a pleasure to meet JOSEF BAYER once again!
The first time I ever saw a pair of JOSEF BAYER’s wheels was summer 2012 at the Favorit Velodrome in Brno. They were a 3-spoke and a disc wheel. They were all black and aggressive looking, but they had a small green symbol on them, very speedy, very romantic. They made a strong impression on me and I asked the man responsible for the Velodrome about them.
He replied by telling me about a certain JOSEF BAYER, builder of fantastic rims from the south of Moravia, but beyond that he knew little. The more I thought about it the more I realised that I needed to find this Mr. JOSEF BAYER, even if nobody knew how to help me, nobody had an address or contact.

I’m so sad to hear that JANE BIRKIN, the iconic British model, actor and singer has gone.
She was an unforgettable icon, with a unique voice and a great charm, a complet artist, singer and actor.
She appeared in more then 70 films under some of France’s leading directors, including Bertrand Tavernier, Agnès Varda, Jean-Luc Godard, Alain Resnais and James Ivory.
I love her role in Blow-up, a film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, Palme d’Or in Cannes in 1967, together with Veruschka, another 1960’s iconic model and the wonderful music composed by Herbie Hancock.
She embodied freedom and elegance with her nonchalant style, in her cropped white T-shirt, flared jeans, men’s blazers. She was always so elegant and unique, a daily inspiration!
