Ticketed for not riding in a Bike Lane

I've never been ticketed for not riding in a bike lane, but I have been for riding on the sidewalk around campus so I can somewhat share in his frustration.

My city recently painted new bike lanes near my house so maybe I can test this out on the local authorities. Their knowledge of bicycle laws are somewhat scarce outside of campus limits.

People all over the country are pushing for bike laws and with that comes a crackdown on how we ride.
                     I wouldn't mind bunny hopping over a bench to get to work every day!

Bike without spokes

The Lunartic Cycle is an entry for the James Dyson Awards.

It features a hubless back wheel and is powered by toothed belt drives. They say the tiny front wheel adds to maneuverability but it would be really cool to see both front and back hubless wheels.

I can tell it still needs some work to be practical but it sure does look neat!

Conference Biking


I came across this contraption and instantly thought of people in business suits riding this downtown. Maybe even a little table in the middle with drinks and a conference phone.

OK well perhaps you wont see anyone doing business deals on this bike but it sure looks fun to ride!

How to: set up your BMX with an asian girl.

Having trouble putting your bmx bike together? Don't know which way the pedals go on?
Or maybe you do know and you would like to watch some girl do it for you?
I think yes!

I can't quite understand what she is saying but she puts that bike together better than some of the bicycle mechanics I've been around. Eye candy and information!
