well, not really, but this is a translated snippet of a press-release from the berlin police…

"For the first time the police will have an eye on a special kind of bicycle. They are called ‘Fixies’ or ‘Singlespeed-Bikes’. These minimalist trend-bikes, e.g. ridden by bike-messengers and members of a growing fan-scene are being used more and more in city-traffic. The bicycles, for the purpose of saving weight and conveying a very special ‘Kick’ during fast riding, do not have proper security-measurements, i.e. they lack any sort of brake. Only foresighted riding, and enormous capacity of reaction ought to hinder accidents. The use of such vehicles, which were originally designed to be used for track-bike sports, in road traffic is profoundly dangerous and inevitably bound to health- and live-threatening situations for other road-users as well as the rider. In consequence, police will not only file a complaint against the riders of such fixies, but make insistently clear, that the bicycles will be seized after reoccurring identification."

my favorite part of that whole thing is the phrase "foresighted riding, and enormous capacity of reaction."

It was Muadib’s birthday earlier this month, and while we haven’t been able to engage each other with our annual Theme Cake Attack just yet, we did get to meet this weekend for brunch, mess around with young Hugo, and the like.

OMG, THIS is totally awesome. madison, WI — home to bikeMakers trek, pacific cycles (schwinn, mongoose, canondale), and accessory king planet bike — may start imposing fines on people who door bikers. this REVERSES a prior law that cyclists have to ride 3 feet from parked cars, and with good reason — we can’t always do that. but the drivers CAN always take a quick look behind em before they swing the panel of death out into our way, and that’s why the new law’s been activated.

only one council member opposed it and if you read the article, you’ll see that she’s a jackass anyway. hahaha!!!

onward!

ok, so ellen page on a stingray knockoff has nothing to do with this besides the fact that she’s a woman and that’s a bicycle. but the real news is that there’s a new publication coming called WOMEN’S CYCLING (only the blog and subscription pages are live right now), and it’s just that — femiCentric cycling news.

the site (link above) has it’s tagline listed as "road + track + cross + mountain + college + high school + lifestyle + commuting + training + tech + product + repair + city spotlight," so it seems like everything’s covered.

i’m stoked on this — bring it, ladies!

This is why I’m so disappointed in TL Engineering… we didn’t cook up a rod/crank propulsion system made from wood. For a bike made from wood.

DAMN!

THIS is the best news i’ve heard all lifetime. longtime team lope fave blogger BSNYC is coming onboard BICYCLING MAGAZINE as a monthly contributor.

now, ordinarily, i might be inclined to see this as a sellout by BSNYC. but here’s why i don’t — despite all his hatery, the snob is at heart a dedicated cyclist, a beautifully sarcastic and intelligent commentator on ALL facets of cycling (even his own), and appears to be a handy bike mechanic, too. and he sticks to it. he remains anonymous because, in his own words, he’s a cyclist first and a blogger second. i don’t fear for a second that he’ll go the route of the sellout and start putting his face all over tshirts and shit.

i’m super down for this, ESPECIALLY because i somehow ended up with a subscription to bicycling magazine, which means that my dose of BSNYC just went up +1!

Here is my latest build, a 1971 Schwinn Collegiate…I am treating this more as a restoration, using alot of the original pieces. The original bars have an interesting geometry/flair looking at them head on. I used the paint gun on this one.
