Bikes on Behance and a little show in Vegas
Lachezar Ivanov is a Bulgarian designer with a few interesting bike sketches and renderings in his portfolio. I just happened to run across his design for a time trial bike (alternate version here) while I was browsing product galleries on Behance. He also has an e-bike frame design that you can see on his Behance…

NeilPryde Bayamo TT bike
At Interbike last week, NeilPryde Bikes previewed a new time trial/triathlon bike called the “Bayamo”. Like the first two road bikes that the company introduced in 2010, this bike was created in partnership with BMW DesignworksUSA. The frame features the same hard edge styling that you see on the Alize, and on some of the…

Some show in Vegas and random assorted links
Once again, the bicycle industry has descended on Las Vegas for Interbike. The show opened today after a partially stormy outdoor demo in Bootleg Canyon (not exactly what you expect in the desert). I haven’t had the chance to check out much coverage from the show yet, but I did notice that Bike Rumor is…

OOPHAGA trike and a homebuilt wooden frame
I’m back from an extended weekend of mountain biking and kayaking at Tsali. I didn’t have (or want) phone or Internet access while I was out in the woods, so I am just now starting to look at some of the coverage from Interbike last week. Bike Rumor is one place where I have found…

Interbike, Bike 2.0, and thoughts on imagination
It’s that time of year again, Interbike is getting underway today in Vegas (for the last time in a while at least). I had a great time at the show last year, but unfortunately I couldn’t fit it into my schedule this week. Instead of being there to see everything in person, I’ll have to…

Sanyo eneloop e-bike at CES
You have probably seen the Sanyo eneloop bike quite a few times in the past year, both on this blog and at other sites. Though it was making news on the web long before, the pedal assist hybrid e-bike, which offers regenerative braking and coasting, was officially unveiled to the US bike market at Interbike…

A partial Interbike recap
In my last post, I discussed a couple of bikes from Interbike that got my attention. Today, I want to mention a few of the other bikes and products from the show that I considered to be standouts. I have been super busy this week catching up on projects at work, and also helping my…

Frames from Speedhound and Sylvan
Since my last post, I have added quite a few new photos to my Interbike photoset on Flickr (up to nearly 600 shots total). I still have more photos and videos to go through on my wife’s camera, so I may be adding a few more to that set as the week goes on. As…

Nice Suit!
I am just now getting some of yesterday’s photos from Interbike uploaded to my Flickr account. Take a look at my Interbike 2009 set here. Be sure to check back later too because there are many more shots to come. The show has been fun so far. In addition to seeing many cycling products and…

Interbike and a few really fast velomobiles
It has been a really busy week so far, but I am finally here at Interbike in Las Vegas. I am looking forward to wandering around the show floor today to see what catches my eye. Hopefully, I will get a chance to upload some of my pictures from the show before the Urban Legends…

Eurobike is over… time for Interbike
As I mentioned in a recent post, show season for the bicycle industry is now underway. Eurobike 2009 has come and gone, and based on the pictures I have seen it appears to have been a pretty interesting show this year. Chris Matthews, a marketing guy at Specialized who blogs at creativextreme, posted a good…

Strida MAS Special Signature Edition
I have time for one more post before my trip, so let me quickly pass a few more things along. You might remember when I tested a Strida 5.0 late last year. I liked the bike, but at 6’ 2”, I felt like I was a bit tall for it. That is why I was…

Traveling
A few people have asked me if I was planning to attend Interbike next week. I wish I could be there, but I am flying to China this weekend for a product development trip. Since I will be on the other side of the world for a couple of weeks, I will have to follow…

Post Interbike links (from racing bikes to world changing bikes)
This week, I have been traveling a bit and otherwise extremely busy, so I have not yet been able to look through as many pictures from Interbike as I would have liked. Still, I want to quickly point out a few of the products that caught my attention. I wouldn’t consider this a comprehensive list…

A few more Interbike links
Man, there is a ton of good Interbike coverage on the web this year, almost too much to keep up with. I don’t have time for much of a post today, but I do want to quickly mention a few sites, in addition to the ones I linked to yesterday, that you should check out…

"Innovate or Die"
This sounds pretty interesting. Specialized recently launched the “Innovate or Die” contest on YouTube, which challenges participants to create a machine that “transforms pedaling energy into a new and useful purpose”. To enter, you, and up to 4 other design team members, can post a video of your machine before December 15th. The winner will…

How did I miss this?
A recent Treehugger post pointed to the Momo Design City bike, which somehow I missed seeing until now. The titanium and carbon city bike received a silver designation in the Eurobike Awards 2007 (you can also see the designs that received gold awards this year here). The Momo Design bike looks very slick and features…

A belt drive singlespeed
Belt drive bikes are nothing new. Archibald Sharp mentioned belt and steel band driven bike transmissions in his 1896 text “Bicycles and Tricycles”. I haven’t talked much about belt drive, but I have mentioned bikes on this blog before that use a belt instead of a chain. I know about some of the problems historically…
