Childstore is Sweden’s very best BMX shop & mailorder, found in Gothenburg in a prime location also with a kick ass team. They just started a Vimeo-channel called ChildTV where they will post videos, I presume.
The first episode features footage and interviews (all in Swedish — sorry) from the recent “Jonny Pitt Birthday Bash” where a bunch of riders were invited to ride bikes, party and have fun.
My good friend and OG Eject hub owner/user, Jesper Stern has got a bikecheck up on Childstore’s newspage which is where I also snatched the picture posted below.

The best BMX shop/mailorder in Sweden, Childstore, has put together a really nice complete bike with almost only Simple and Odyssey parts. You even get a very limited “prototype” style of the Simple seat.

I wasn’t gonna do a christmas related post, but this one’s too good to pass up. Just found this pic in the online version of a free newspaper here in Stockholm.
The little article features Mark Pettersson of Yogurt bikes, byke.com and Bykestore fame and his family, shopping for a christmas tree. Family life in full effect!
Mark is also the guy who opened and ran Childstore in Stockholm in a small alley shop back in the 90’s, before the name and flag was handed over to Johan Fahlnaes who now runs the shop and webshop down in Gothenburg.
