This guy really does loaded touring, wow

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

All I can say is “wow”. Completely awe inspiring pictures from a tour through the Himalayas, gotta check these out, great photography too. What a tour!

(Note: this isn’t my tour, just an admirer, although I do wish it was!)

IKEA of Denmark is now starting a new concept at their Danish stores. They did a bit of market research and found that roughly 20% of their customers rode their bikes to the stores…

IKEA has invested in Velorbis bikes, at a couple of their stores, that will pull trailers so that customers can ride home with the new purchases.

No big surprises here but still a cool thing to think about and quite a big commitment to car-free lifestyle by Ikea.

2008 is certainly looking like a promising year for bikes many thanks to $4 gallon gasoline. This whole experience really goes to show that how we operate as a society has been driven by the premise of cheap oil, cheap cheap oil. But once the cheap goes away, so does the use.

Some really cool bikes in this museum gallery. Interesting to check out early bikes pre 1960s to see all the technology advancements.
