First off, I just have to say that I apologize in advance if you are a fixie rider. And also that this, being my blog, I get to say what I want. And while I try to keep this blog on a positive note every so often I have to get something off my chest…thisContinue reading “Bike Fashion”

This is an incredibly inspirational 10 minute film about the bicycling infrastructure in Copenhagen viewd through the eyes (mostly) by North Americans. I love it. I wish it were there. In the States, especially smaller cities like the one in which I live, there are plenty of times when I am the only cyclist onContinue reading “Copenhagen: an example for North America”

I had seen a few other examples of guerrilla knitting in the city but none on a bike rack….how nice, I thought, you won’tContinue reading “Graffiti Knitting”

I came across this photo on the Cycle Recycle Facebook page and thought it was interesting enough to post. What, I wonder, is this person doing with all these bikes attached to a van?

I love this…originally posted here, but I came across it at the Urban Country. Appropriate, I thought when I first saw this. I, like many people, have been following the oil spill in the gulf, and most of what I’ve been hearing (other than how to stop this thing) is about alternative methods to extractingContinue reading “A Cleverly Defaced Billboard”
