Sprocket Man

So I was surfing the Consumer Products Safety Commission website (oh come on, admit it, you do it too) when I came across this publication, "Sprocket Man," a comic book offering bicycle safety tips. It rocks. We have copies at the store to give away, or just download it. Sprocket Man, you're my hero.

Handbuilt Bikes, Museum Setting.

I'm looking forward to this show, Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle
May 13 - August 15, 2010, at the Museum of Art and Design in Columbus Circle. I'm guessing no test rides though.

My new favortite Republican!

Just in case you don't click through, I'll quote:
Today, I want to announce a sea change. People across America who value bicycling should have a voice when it comes to transportation planning. This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized.
We are integrating the needs of bicyclists in federally-funded road projects. We are discouraging transportation investments that negatively affect cyclists and pedestrians. And we are encouraging investments that go beyond the minimum requirements and provide facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities.

Frames as Robinson Crusoe would have built

Frickin' crazy right? I heard about them on Living on Earth, but it kinda rolled past me. Then two have rolled into the shop recently. Rather than fitting the bamboo into lugs the frames are lashed together with linen. Bamboo Bike Studio will teach you how to build one in a weekend. Yup, I'm on the wait list too.

You thought I was cranky?
Making the world safe from top tube pads and bars cut down to cigars, or at least lampooning them. Bless you Snob.
