Continuing on the rampant bike theme...I like everything about this bike. It's super cheap ($20) and made from recycled materials. When it wears out, you can turn it back in to recycle it into another bike! …

This is Eric's Independent. According to Eric, it's a Boston, MA, USA built steel bike with state of the art carbon fork and components that will make you drool (if you're so inclined ;-) It's got vintage, classic touches like the deep V rims and the Fizik saddle is nice. I'll let Eric fill in the details. He'll drop by,…

You gotta love the Instructables. What do you think of this bucket pannier idea? I'll say one thing. They sure will carry more than your run of the mill panniers.

You know that feeling you get as the sun is setting, the weekend is winding down, and you just wanna get out and ride (the Ciocc!) ... and, along comes an article that you just have to read? 

This is one of  'em. Hear the expression "too long, didn't read" tl;dr? Well, try taking your eyes away from the magic that came from Pelizzoli's lips as he failed to…

Today’s {BotD} Bike of the Day is a Brompton folding bike…

Bromptons have been around for years. They’re made in England. I spotted this one at the Hawthorne Hostel in Portland, Oregon. It’s not the first folding bike I’ve seen at the

hostel. Last year, another traveler came on a Dahon he loved so much he

had it chrome plated!…

I had just finished a trip to Brazzaville, Republic of Congo and then Morocco. Came back to NYC, staying on E14th Street at the hostel. It

was a quiet mid-morning on Sunday, I believe. I walked from the hostel to a coffee shop, then to a park.

And, on the way back, I looked up and saw this guy lying…
