A bold project in New York is reclaiming the road for humans. The Sands St. Bike path is built with barrier walls that run right down the middle of the street. The unique setup came about with some creative thinking since with all the on- and off-ramps they couldn’t safely put it on the side [...]

Flair Bears can uglify their bike without trading out parts on Craigslist. Just pop the Color Bike App on in your cubicle and make a Rainbow Pride or Halloween Bike while sitting at work between commutes. Now that bright pink chain that looked really cool in the store isn’t an embarrassment after the joke wears [...]

I’m on the fence with these informal Tweed Rides every city is having. I like that the organizers are trying to let the locals know that you can get out on a bike without wearing neon Lycra and a shirt covered in advertisements. I also like that they employ more of a law abiding attitude [...]

I read that the City of New York would be running television and billboard ads dedicated to raising awareness among drivers that they need to look for bikers on the road. “This is great!” I thought. Then a couple months passed until I saw one of the ads, in a bike shop. Seriously? People walking [...]

Maybe the fashion side of cycling is going the way of Biopace chainrings. The hipsters of Williamsburg are giving up fixies for vintage mopeds, and Momentum Magazine can’t even find a couple male models for their Interbike runway show in Vegas. While it’s predictable that hipsters would rediscover the irony of fossil fuel burning vehicles, [...]

The NYC Government dumped some money into the Fuse Project–a plan to get more city riders wearing lids. This modular foam helmet is what they got in return. It’s basically a skate helmet wrapped in a removable cloth that you can twist around whether you want to look like GI Joe, a jean jacket, or [...]

The Minneapolis bike share program, Nice Ride, has it’s logo out. It comes to us from the local designers at Duffy’s. What’s up St. Paul? How’s your bike share program? That’s what I thought. I can’t wait to see Downtown St. Paul’s Razor Scooter Share program. The Nice Ride website has the phase 1 map [...]

Came across this picture on my friend’s Facebook page. Proof that not everyone who believes in Karmic laws wants to put good out into the universe. The flyer was hung awhile ago and ended up on a Threadless T-shirt; hopefully the author is credited and gets enough money to buy a new bike. I’m not [...]

A while back I had an incident while riding my bicycle and I’ve decided to tell the story of the incident in hopes that some mild entertainment might be squeezed from it. The experience began as many before have, with me strolling lazily towards my dual-wheeled, man-powered mode of transport at that pace just faster [...]
