>This guy is inspiring. He rode his bike from Australia to Copenhagen as his own personal testament. The video is apparently a couple weeks old but it’s still in time…and his message still rings true. He’s not asking you to ride your bike halfway around the globe…just to ride your bike period (or walk, orContinue reading “>Ride Planet Earth on December 6th (and every day)”

Surf Your Yuba Mundo
I own one of these bikes (as pictured in many posts) and I love it…but don’t expect to see me “surf” on it any time soon (it does look like they’re having fun, though). I found the video at treehugger.

NYC: A Bicyclist’s Metropolis
This past summer I was on holiday in New York City for a few days with my son. I hadn’t been there in a little over a year and was surprised at how many more bicycles I saw and how bike-friendly the city had become (I posted about it here). Anyhow, I came across theContinue reading “NYC: A Bicyclist’s Metropolis”

Bicycle History
Here’s an interesting 10 minute clip of a BBC program on the history of the bicycle (a subject that I find fascinating). It’s a good video but you’ll have to click down advertisements like every 45 seconds or so. It’s interesting, after watching the first video (and thinking about it a bit), what a liberatingContinue reading “Bicycle History”

>If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that I am always trying to impress on people that bicycles can carry almost everything a car can…but there’s something about this video. I’m not sure if this is really cute or really scary…maybe it’s just because the kids look so vulnerable. Or maybeContinue reading “>Three Sleeping Kids In A Cargo Bike”

Now This Is Bicycle Friendly
I came across this short video at the site of Virgin Vacation’s 11 most bike friendly cities (click here). It is a video of the world’s only bicycle lift (elevator) located in Trondheim, Norway. It is ingenious, and probably one of the most bicycle friendly inventions I’ve seen yet. Make sure you pause it towardsContinue reading “Now This Is Bicycle Friendly”

A Dangerous Annoyance
Firstly, a couple things: the woman in the above picture is not the person that I speak of in the following text…I don’t know who it is, it just resembles what I saw. I found the image here. Also, when I post these thoughts the last thing I want to do is imply that IContinue reading “A Dangerous Annoyance”

Lan Yin "Eiko" Tsai: an inspiration
This is an inspiring story. For the past 26 years Lan Yin “Eiko” Tsai has been biking 150 miles to benefit MS research…and she does it on an old single speed while wearing heels and a dress. With all my rants and raves about the usefulness and importance of a bicycle, and by discourses onContinue reading “Lan Yin "Eiko" Tsai: an inspiration”
