Imagine If This Is What Rush Hour Looked Like

Video borrowed from David Hembrow’s View From A Cycle Path

Bicycle Waltz

I came across an inspiring Australian blog today called Situp-Cycle (found it via Copenhagen Cycle Chic), which promotes bikes as a viable mode of transport…and even more importantly (or at least as important) bikes as being more fun if you are sitting in an upright position. It’s a great site, and one which I encourageContinue reading “Bicycle Waltz”

Biking In The Snow

I like to bike in the snow. There, I said it…call me crazy if you have to. I wouldn’t want to do it all the time, nor do I particularly like to bike in near blizzard conditions (like I did the other day), but on a beautiful winter’s day (or night) I enjoy it immensely…itContinue reading “Biking In The Snow”

Where are all the bicycle commercials?

Is it me, or are there a lot of car/truck commercials on during prime-time television? I don’t watch much of the idiot box, and very few sitcoms, but I have to admit I really get a kick out of The Office. At any rate, I was alarmed tonight at how many car adverts there were…thereContinue reading “Where are all the bicycle commercials?”

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”

Merry Christmas

bikeforpeace.org A couple things: Firstly, Merry Christmas! Secondly, I have to admit that I am somewhat of a hypocrite by posting this image because I haven’t ridden a bike in two days (but as I stated before…never said I was car-free, just car-lite). I mostly posted it because I liked the image. But while theContinue reading “Merry Christmas”

Two Views

The Yuba in front of a beautiful frozen lake (Hoyt Lake, Delaware Park) The Yuba in front of a sea of ugliness. These photos were taken a mere two miles apart, but they might as well be on different planets. And yes, I occasionally shop at a big box…and I am fully aware that itContinue reading “Two Views”

Bicycle Parking

Image found here. I’m assuming from the type of bikes in the photo that this is a Chinese bicycle parking lot (they look, to me, like most of the bikes are Flying Pidgeons). Too bad our American mall parking lots didn’t look a little more like this.

Che Guevera Rode Bike

Photo found at RocBike OK, so it does have a small motor-assist on the bike…but it is Che Guevara.

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.

Cars Make People Crazy

This is a rash generalization, but…what is the deal with drivers and bicyclists? Do they (or at least many) really think that they, because they are in a car and I am on a bike, automatically have the right of way and in any circumstance? Do they automatically think that because they are in aContinue reading “Cars Make People Crazy”

Enough Said

Found it here. It may be a cartoon…but it speaks the truth.

Bike Parody

This is very funny…it’s a rap song that pokes fun at both the spandex-clad speedster and the fixed-gear hipster…I laughed out loud (I also watched it twice). I found this short clip at The Practical Cyclist’s Blog.

Frigid

Well the storm that swept the entire nation–from the west coast straight through to the east–finally barreled through town yesterday and the previous night…bringing with it frigid temperatures. Here’s a picture of “the mule” just before my early morning commute (thankfully I have a mere mile commute these days). And yes it was (is) asContinue reading “Frigid”

Evolve

I love this button…found it on google images.

Porta Biciclette (Window Bike)

The image was found here, but the little icon says SuperEdo.it What the…? I’ll be the first to admit that it’s difficult to find places to store bikes (I have six…three are parked in my living room; one hangs from the ceiling on a bicycle pulley system). But I have to admit I’ve never seenContinue reading “Porta Biciclette (Window Bike)”
