You are wrong!

Yet another creatively designed bike rack

Holy high rise stem Batman!

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

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!)

Its…so beautiful! And yup, it is in the United States (NYC to be exact). Hard to believe this is even real…

…at least according to Hasidic community South Williamsburg in Brooklyn. They find the attractive women on their bikes so outrageous they want to do away with the bike lanes altogether. *sigh* religion.

The red-faced religious sect is calling on city officials to eliminate the car-free lanes on Wythe and Bedford avenues, and to delay construction of a new one planned for Kent Avenue.

“I have to admit, it’s a major issue, women passing through here in that dress code,” Simon Weisser, a member of Community Board 1 in Williamsburg-Greenpoint, told The Post.

Great commercial, wow

Dan — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:54:45 +0000

Gotta say, pretty surprised such a great pro city-biking commercial could have been made. Beautiful functional city bike, people utilizing their bike for function and cargo, people having FUN on a bike, perfect. Thanks Kaiser for this pro bike spot

I like this commercial so much I’m willing to glance over the sidewalk and wrong way riding
