The Cause And the Solution

I personally think this is a brilliant piece of recycling, with a slight morbid undertone.

Tour De Fence

This looks like a great way to recycle, might be time for a new fence at the shop.

Check out some great Side Hack action! I remember people making these in their garage's when I was a kid, though it seemed more of a way to tote your kid brother around. These guys are mobbing down a hill. Great background music BTW.

Copenhagen's Bicycle Butlers - Park Illegally and get your chain oiled and tires pumped

Why don't I see this working in the U.S.? I see a class action being filed for using the wrong chain lube on some guy's bike or getting some on the rims.

I would approve of markings like this on bike lanes.

With this great riding weather, I've been riding my new cruiser quite a bit. I've been obsessed with vintage bicycle headlights lately, trying to find just the right one to dress up my ride. While researching them, I came across this beautiful cruiser.

This photo is a contradiction. On one hand, you have PBR which is decidedly "hipster", on the other hand, we're looking at a bike with gears and a fender which is assuredly not hip.

Perhaps a chocolate keyboard for that special someone?

What not to do at your local bike shop.

Do not sit in your car, talking on the phone, with your engine idling. It makes all the people who are trying to ride their bikes a little more to save the environment feel like you're undoing all of their effort. :(
