Ceci n'est pas une bicyclete

Bikes sure have hit the mainstream. Urban Outfitters, a site I usually go to for some T-shirt inspiration, has started selling custom bikes via partner Republic Bikes.

Le bicycle, le bicycle!

Hilariously ridiculous...ridiculously hilarious...but I just love this clip from the 1960's by Alex Marco called, what else, "The Bike".

October 14th, 2009 was Australia's national Ride to Work day . I wonder if Dita Von Teese rode to work for this recent Harper's Bazaar shoot in Paris??

MY CITY OF SYDNEY'S SPRING CYCLE COMING SOON!

Sydney Spring Cycle  on Sunday September 27 is the perfect way to re-introduce yourself to cycling. For a precious few hours the City of Sydney closes off many streets from North Sydney to Homebush to promote cycling and raise money for well deserving charities. If you are yearning to re-engage the inner child and once again experience the 'weeeeeeeeee' feeling of riding down a hill on your bike then start here onthe Sydney Harbour Bridge and bring your like-minded friends with you. Believe me, the Clover Moores of this world are watching and your contribution will help build a better Sydney!

Cycle Friendly Cities. Evolution...Not Revolution

How to create cycle-friendly cities? That is the question. Punctuated in this inspiring Radio New Zealand radio show "Cycle Friendly Cities", is the idea that it's an evolution not a revolution and it embraces the idea that cycling is not just for testosterone laden lycra-clad sporty types but for utility and recreation and commuting ie. just as natural as walking with your two legs. It has taken Copenhagen decades. This interview features Bicycle Culture Consultant Mikael Colville-Anderson; Wellington City Councillor Celia Wade-Brown, and BikeNZ CEO Kieran Turner.
