Month: October 2006

  • Who had the best exhibit at Interbike?

    Yeah, I know that Interbike ended a month ago, but the show is back in the news this week. Interesting, but that is not really the reason for this post. Yesterday, while reading The Biking Hub, I came across this photo of a small part of the Cervelo booth. I have done some exhibit design…

  • Mojo colors

    I know that I said I would not post anymore this week, but I just saw these new Ibis Mojo colors and I felt compelled to quickly pass them along. The green and the orange finishes look great on this frame. Check out more pictures here.

  • A Cannondale Rush beach cruiser?

    A couple days out of the office and work sure does pile up. I am in catch up mode right now; so normal posting will resume next week. If you sent me an email in the past week or so, I’ll get back to you eventually. Anyway, the beach was great and crowds were nonexistent.…

  • Summer pedals

    Yeah, I know it is not summer anymore, but I am heading down to the beach for a few days and it is still nice and warm on the gulf coast. While I am down there, I might have to try out this trick that I spotted on Pan-Dan. All I have to do is…

  • Submit your best bike concepts

    I was checking out portfolios on Coroflot earlier today and ran across a few interesting bicycle concepts. Pictured here is a rendering of a city bike from Navin, an industrial designer in Bangalore, India. You can check out more of his bike renderings here. Browsing through a few portfolios reminded me how much I love…

  • A sub 7 pound Crumpton from Groupe De Tete

    I have been meaning to post about Groupe De Tete since Interbike, but I seem to be on a 3-week delay lately. A post on Bicycling magazine’s “This Just In” blog about the company got my attention because this boutique bike builder is located about an hour north of here in Asheville, NC. They are…

  • Put the Brakes on Fatalities day

    That’s right, I just heard on the radio that today is officially designated as national “Put the Brakes on Fatalities” day. The program is an effort to raise consciousness about the incredibly high rate of transportation fatalities that we have here in the US. Hearing those awful statistics again (42,000 deaths a year or 1…

  • Cannondale’s new design director

    I don’t know this guy, but I was very interested to read this bit of news on BRAIN today. Torgny Fjeldskaar has been promoted to global director of industrial design at Cannondale after about 3 years with the company. The Synapse, SystemSix, and various European urban bikes are listed as some of his contributions so…

  • More about Bike Biz

    I probably should have mentioned this in yesterday’s post, but it slipped my mind. Bike Biz is now offering a pdf download of the print magazine for free. Yes, now in addition to the breaking industry news on their website, anyone can read the digital edition of the magazine. Trust me, you can’t beat that…

  • What is a bicycle?

    I may have mentioned before that I subscribe to the Cycling News and Views podcast on iTunes. The podcast comes from Carlton Reid, editor of the UK based industry trade magazine Bike Biz. I recommend checking it out if you don’t already get it. I have been pretty backed up with work lately, so just…
