I love this photo but unfortunately do not know who it portrays, who took it, or when or where it took place. It’s from the site The Bicycle & The West. If you are interested in bicycles, or old pictures and the history of bicycles, I suggest you pay them a visit. Anyhow, seems toContinue reading “Horse and Bicycle”

I came across this and a few other short videos on Treehugger. It’s a 4-minute clip of a Chilean bicyclist doing a downhill race in the city through all sorts of perilous circumstances…and he has a camera mounted on his helmet. As Treehugger suggests, watch it in full screen mode…it is pretty incredible. Watching itContinue reading “Crazy Ride”

Image found here. Firstly I have to say that normally I try not to focus on the negative or sensational on this blog because I feel there is enough media that does that, but this is such an incredible incident that I had to show it. This is the ultimate act of road rage andContinue reading “Bicycle Carnage in Brazil”

Firstly I would like to say–and you probably already know this–that I am not in the habit of posting commercial advertisements on this blog…but I thought this was interesting. It’s an advert for Regions Bank, but that’s not the reason I posted it…it’s the other message in the clip, that it’s ok for adults andContinue reading “Indirect Bicycle Advert”

As I sit here and the temperature outside hovers around 0F (-17C) I find myself riding vicariously by reading about bikes and scrolling through bookmarks and links. Anyhow, I can’t remember who but someone sent me a link to this e-book (the entire thing is available online). I came upon it again when I foundContinue reading “The Lure of the Open Road”

Photo found at Shorpy.com This is a photo of a bike shop in Detroit, Michigan. I find a couple things interesting about it. One is that Detroit, as most people know, became so synonymous with the automobile at one time that it became known as the Motor City. This photo was taken in 1912 andContinue reading “Bicycle Shop 1912”

Photo credit: Channi Anand  I came across this picture earlier today and was immediately taken by it for a few reasons. The first is that I just think it looks beautiful and soothing, but also–I’m sure–is that I was barely outside today (other than using my truck to do errands) and missed being on aContinue reading “Vicariously Inspiring”

This is a short video of a bicycle workshop my son attended earlier this month. I first posted about it here (showing the bike he built), but much to his embarassment–and being the proud papa that I am–I thought I’d share this video as well. He is actually only in it for a few secondsContinue reading “Bicycle Workshop”

I came across this short clip at  Bike Man Dan’s blog. It’s only a couple minutes long but really fun to watch…incredible really.
