Jerseys for the passive aggressive type

Dan — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 02:11:22 +0000

An entrepeneuring fellow is making some riding jerseys with clever slogans which may get you some respect from drivers….or more likely get additional scorn. Not something Id wear but I got a chuckle out of them at least. I would like a sign on the back of my bike with the “3ft <—-“ though!

How many folding bikes fit in one car space?

But of course, the answer to life, the universe and everything, 42. Fourty two Brompton folding bikes fit into one car parking space. The more you know huh

Beer + Wine + Bike = Handlebar Plug

Dan — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:13:22 +0000

Beer, wine, recycling and perhaps most of all, bikes; all things I hold dearly. Why not combine them all!!

Lost my plastic plugs on the last tour and this idea struck me after thinking about what to do with bottle caps (which unfortunately can’t be put in a recycling bin because of the impregnated pla

stic on the underside).

A dab of thick glue will affix the cork in place and luckily enough for us, most corks fit nice and snug in most bars (but do some testing to be sure). New Belgium cap isn’t necessary but highly recommended

Use your bike…or the birds will

Hey, another reason to get on your bike and ride!

I think you’re doing it wrong…

Found today on Craigslist (here’s the link but it won’t last)

Unfortunately I think this chap has raised the stem above the minimum insertion mark, not a bright idea

One of the best trials riders I’ve ever seen

Watch this video and you’ll understand the question “How the f*&k does he do that?!”. Really jaw dropping feats upon two wheels. Check it out

If you couldn’t tell, this post is purely satire to go along with the satirical video about traffic here:

More funny bike advertising

Dan — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:08:33 +0000

Pretty gross actually but funny none-the-less.

Slightly conflicted though since I’m not a person to downplay the importance of walking over bicycling.

The Dane’s know bike advocacy

Haha, absolutely brilliant! People like myself often wonder “what can we do to really encourage people to accept bikes into their lives?”. Well here’s a smart ad that hopefully does just that.

Here is the translation:

Lady: Would you like some tea?
Man: Yes, that would be lovely, thanks.
Telltale noises from the other side of the wall.
Lady [muttering under her breath]: You should rather be biking, too, Rezso.

This comes way of one of my favorite blogs, Copenhagenize
