We would hate you to think we sit around all day playing space invaders online and arranging our felt-tips in colour order, so here are some other things we’ve been up to….

Ding Day

Wednesday 10th September will see London ring out to the sound of the bicycle bell on the first annual Ding Day – A celebration for the cycling community in London.

On this day London will become a joyful and happier city for cyclists, streets will ring to the sound of the bicycle bell. With every cyclist welcome and openly encouraged to participate, all that’s needed is a bike and a bell. There is no main event on the day, it runs all day whenever you are in the saddle on Ding Day.

The concept is simple:
On Wednesday 10th September whenever you see another cyclist you give a little ‘ding ding’ on your bell, and they will return your greeting with another ‘ding ding’.

The idea behind Ding Day:
To create a fun experience for cyclists and locals in and around London, with the hope of creating more of a sense of community amongst fellow cyclists, including commuters, parents, children, basically any cyclist young or old. It’s free and open to everyone.

It is a celebration of cycling as one of the most environmentally friendly, healthy and almost certainly quickest way of getting aroud our great city.

We are very please to announce that the new site for 3will.co.uk is now live for the whole world to see. We have relaunched the blog site with a completely new style and logo.

3will wanted something that would deliver his blog quickly and easily but not losing to much of it’s easy to use blog structure. With the logo and design we had a completely open brief, the only criteria being that the logo needed to be “thought provoking”.

3will is the blog for Leinz (London based graphic artist) with all the articles falling into 3 categories: News, Views and Art - with the focus needing to way heavier on the art.

ooh, ahh… no moo?

Well, the new site is live (version 9 - the other 7 didn’t make it online!). It does everything the last one did, but it’s better, shinier and a lot easier to use. Unfortunately it doesn’t moo, but we think you’ll like it…

Stewbear

Stewbear is thought of by many as a inquisitive but good natured creature that can be seen migrating up and down the country in search of his favourite delectable treat - the naiberry. Normally bound to more quiet and tranquil areas he is not scared easily - mainly due (in some part) to his traditional ninja training.

Alangator

Alangator is a nocturnal beast that just loves the water; he can be found on hot summer days lazing around on his belly somewhere in Shepherds Bush. He is an instinctive animal that can change direction at high speed, not giving his prey any clue in which way he is heading next.

Benbot

Benbot is half man and half machine, living in a world that that no-one else seems to understand. Rarely seen roaming, he prefers to move mechanically - fuelled by a staple diet consisting of high sugar, RSS feeds and fantasy animation - and although he may seem like a tame beast he should not be underestimated as he is a worthy adversary and quick on the draw.
