A Short Talk with Val Kleitz
This is a short talk with Val Kleitz, veteran cargo biker and all around bicycle advocate. The video is only a few minutes long (and probably dated by a few years) but it is truly inspiring. He talks not only about the importance of the (cargo) bike, but also specifics about his. Just another exampleContinue reading “A Short Talk with Val Kleitz”

>Dutch Minivan
> Photo Credit: Amsterdamize (via Copenhagen Cycle Chic) I love this photo! What a way to get the kids around…no quart-sized sodas or mini televisions to keep them occupied…just the scenery around them. Beautiful.

>Biking Toronto
>Yesterday I went up to Toronto for a quick 24 hour sojourn. I do this a couple times a year simply for a change of pace; I’ll spend my day/evening alternating between bookstores, cafes, and nightclubs. It’s such an easy trip…under two hours if traffic on the Peace Bridge and the QEW cooperates. I’ve doneContinue reading “>Biking Toronto”

>NYC Longtail
>A friend sent this picture to me from NYC (Thanks Suzy)…she spotted it on Fourth Street in the West Village…looks like it’s a xtracycle conversion. My hope is that longtails will become more common place…they really are the most practical way to move things in an urban environment.
