Recently, PB&J posted about the new Trek 69er singlespeed with a 26” rear wheel and a 29” front wheel. Obviously not a fan of the bike, he said that Trek should “leave the hair-brained ideas” to Cannondale. He also stated that Cannondale is “world renowned for solving non-existent problems.” I don’t agree, but I can…

Well, the most exciting Tour de France that I can remember in years is over and it is time to get back to reality. Right now, I have a ton of work to get done, as well as several personal projects in the works. I probably won’t have much free time to think about bikes…

Some of you may remember several months ago when I posted about Greg Kolodziejzyk’s homemade velomobile. His self described goal with the bike was to create the “rocking-est human powered hot rod ever!” Last week, Treehugger posted a picture of the full carbon fiber fairing recumbent that Greg will be using later this month in…

Recently, I found a few old cycling videos at the thrift store. Each one of them is well worth the 99 cents that I paid.

As some commenters pointed out, the way the frame is engineered is just as important, or more so, than the material that goes into it. Coincidently, Fat Cyclist posted a picture a few…

That is exactly how Rhalf of the Chopperdome in Amsterdam describes this unique bike that he created. I have seen more than a few choppers, but I have never seen one painted quite like this. This isn’t the type of bike that I would typically ride, but it sure would look great with the hand…

Vacations are great, but work really does seem to pile up when nobody is around to do it. Go figure. I have a lot to get caught up on, so if you are one of the many people who sent me an email in the past week, my response might be a little slow. I…

Designer Neil Foley has some interesting concept designs on his website. This collapsible tandem recumbent is designed to use both human and electric power. I’m not sure exactly how it works, but the rendering looks great. While you are there, check out some of the other transportation designs on Neil’s website. Thanks to Fresh Creation…
