Stunning Wooden Bike
Unbelievable! A Japanese shipbuilder turned his talents towards the construction of this bike (and others). Constructed of mahogany and apparently very strong and light

How to make a free saddle lock
Materials needed: 1) spent unpatchable innertube, 2) spent stretched bicycle chain, 3) chain tool
Your local bike shop should be able to supply you with the tube and chain for free or you might already have this lying around.
The basic premise is simple: loop a piece of chain around the saddle’s rails securing it to the frame. The lock is the chain link, the key is a chain breaker tool. A crook could be carrying around one of these tools but really, the odds aren’t great. To protect the frame and saddle rails, the chain is wrapped in innertube
So there you go, an easy and free way to lock up your spendy leather saddle

Stop signs don’t work for bicycling
Short article worthy of a read: Stop signs don’t work for bicycling
Some gems that sum up the sentiment
… it is desirable, normal, and natural to keep up momentum when bicycling. Not surrounded by 2,000 pounds of steel, we can see all around us (no blind spots!). We can hear and be acutely aware of traffic, and we can stop on a dime. If we misjudge the situation or make a poor behavior choice, the damage is likely to be to us. No way does this behavior merit a $242 fine.
A bicycle is not a motor vehicle. To expect bicycle riders to behave exactly like motorists is like expecting kayakers to follow the same rules as motor boaters.
Motorists of course tend to not agree but I think though without the experience of riding a bicycle as transportation, they have no right to judge.
However, yielding to traffic and rolling through a stop at a casual speed is completely and utterly different than barreling through a stop at full clip. The fixed gear brakeless morons that sometimes exhibit this behavior do us all a disservice and by no means represent the whole by any stretch. Most of us actually want to stay alive and know that we have a lot more to lose in a crash than a motorist and thusly proceed extremely cautiously through intersections
