Now that it's bike season again, I've found that I'm a total bike nerd. Ogling fixies with Deep V's, wondering why you would get the machined ones if you're not going to use brakes etc. I was able to pick up a Ross bike for cheap for craigslist and have been riding as much as possible lately. I definitely still need to tweak it some more but it rides well.
- Rob Forbes, founder of Design Within Reach, recently documented his bike ogling in Amsterdam and Copenhagen. "The details of the bikes can be loaded with cultural information." Read on as Rob has plenty of pictures highlighting headlamps, seats and bike accessories in general. Link
- Philly BikeShare moves one step closer to realization on April 30th when City Council votes to investigate it or not. Meanwhile The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia has worked with the Deputy Mayor of Transportation "to create a full-time Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator position in City Hall." This position, hoped to be filled by July 1, will work on updating the decade old city bicycle plan, making Philly even more bike accessible. Link
- Bike Porn Trailer(NSFW). A bit old, but hey I've never linked it so it's totally new!
- Fixie freestyle competition
- Philly Bike Polo! Wedensdays at 7 at Schuykill River Park. Video
Whee! I'm going riding.
