Freewheelers: Matthew's BMX
Shoreditch fashion designer Mathew likes to mix work with play. And that’s why he built a bike ramp in the middle of his studio! It might be small and sweet, but it’s the perfect size for the neglected BMX he rescued from a friend’s garden. See how he bought it back to life. www.sewwat.com

Freewheelers: Tom's Vektar
If you thought ‘Kit’ on Knight Rider was pretty cool, then chances are you fantasized about having one of these. Tom’s '80s Raleigh Vektar BMX, complete with computerized sound console, was nothing short of cult. Then he got it tagged by ROA, one of the biggest names in the street art scene. Need we say more?

Freewheelers: Ben's Lowrider
London designer Ben Wilson has worked with some very big names: Issey Miyake, Puma, Brooks, Nike and Ron Arad. But perhaps none of this would have happened if it wasn’t for his Americana-inspired lowrider. A beautiful exploration of form, movement and function, this fantastical lowrider kick-started Ben’s career and is emblematic of his lifelong love affair with the bicycle.

Freewheelers: Jess's Self-Build
“I just try to ride without stopping". And it’s not easy to stop when you’re riding a, er, brakeless mountain bike. Adrenalin-junkie or just plain foolhardy? Jess has an amped-up attitude to go with the mire of London traffic. But this fashion student from Louisana also has a very laidback sense of personal style. Riding without brakes in London is one thing, but riding in shorts? That’s certifiable.

Freewheelers: Neil's Penny Farthing
An original new series about freedom, bikes and travelling in style. Sharp-suited dandy Neil is a drinks writer for The Chap, a magazine aimed at the modern gentlemen. Neil takes us on a tour of his vintage penny farthing, the vehicle of choice for the 19th-century playboy. It's still turning heads (and setting hearts aflutter) in modern-day London.
