adeline adeline: Why Abus

adelineadeline:

We think a lot about locks in the store as you can imagine. A lock has to do a lot of things - it has to keep your bike from getting stolen, it has to be portable and not too heavy, it has to be easy to use, but not easy to break and hopefully it’s not too expensive. That’s a lot of stuff!

But we’re not…

bicyclestc:

When those of us in the bicycle community cite places such as Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Berlin etc. as examples where bicycle planning works well, we are often told “but we’re not Europe”.

Why is it then acceptable to cite European examples to raise the speed limits on the highways in Canada? After all, we’re not Europe.

DAN ILIC!: CASTING CALL: "MONORAIL" SYDNEY

danilic:

Hi there the enigmatic Brendan Maclean suggested over twitter that we make a hommage to the demise of Sydney’s 89th most loved mode of public transport. The Sydney Monorail.

So I’m hiring a straw hat and a cane… and together with legendary Hungry Beast director Aaron Smith, Brendan and I…

"Why do the suburbs get all the wide roads, while downtown gets stuck with the narrow streets? WHY ARE DOWNTOWNERS TREATED LIKE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS?"

— A fair question. Paraphrased from Richard Murray. (via solchrom)

"Cycling is safe. Statistically, everywhere in the western world. It’s never been safer to ride a bicycle. Your risk of head injury is higher in automobiles and on foot. A little rationality, please. We’re trying to get people onto bicycles."

How to look like a grown-up while biking to work

citymaus:

[Can] New York revert to New Amsterdam? Can the bicycle, the urban answer to the wild mustang, slow down and put fenders on? Can the urban cyclist, he of the ragtag renegade clothes or shiny spandex, grow up and put on a tie?

Serious obstacles stand in the way. Even as bicycle sales and ridership are up, even as the city becomes more bike friendly than ever, the extreme poles of bike culture are still in many ways hostile to biking as it is done in the Netherlands. There, where riding a bicycle to work in a suit and tie is as notable an act as drinking a cup of coffee, there is no bike culture — all culture includes the bike.

nytimes, 15.04.2009.

James Vicente, a court attorney at the Kings County Criminal Court in Brooklyn, knows the quandary. After a trip to Amsterdam five years ago, Mr. Vicente was inspired to ride to work in his suit and tie. (He converted his road bike to a fixed-gear bike, with detachable fenders.)

“I liked the perversity of it,” he said. “I liked saying: ‘Anyone can do this. It’s normal.’ I never ride with a helmet either, even when people are telling me I’m an idiot. Riding a bike should be normal, and you shouldn’t have to wear a funny Styrofoam hat.”
