  • Catching up (whew)

    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…

  • The tour starts tomorrow (sorry, no design content)

    And my how things were shaken up a bit today. Other blogs have already reported about today’s surprises, so I won’t go into much detail. Suffice it to say I was pretty upset to hear that numerous riders, including the race favorites, were ruled out of the tour. Now it appears that, as originally suspected,…

  • I lied

    I just said that I wouldn’t post again for a while, but that was before I saw this article on Pez. Edmond Hood writes about his six favorite time trial bikes from this year’s Giro. The article is worth checking out, even if only to see the shots of the Quickstep team Time carbon bike.…

  • Great looking bikes. Do you agree?

    In my recent post about integrated seatposts, I mentioned three bikes that are among my favorites currently on the market, the Ridley Noah, the Giant TCR, and the Cervelo P2C. That post got me thinking about other bikes currently being sold that I really like. I haven’t ridden most of these, so my opinions are…

  • Velomobiles in Wired

    My post yesterday prompted a couple of comments about HPVs. It is certainly worth acknowledging that recumbent bikes and trikes are fast and also that they are quite efficient in most situations. I have only ridden a recumbent once, and I must admit that my knowledge about them is somewhat lacking. Still, I am interested…

  • The top ten Bicycle Design posts of 2005

    Happy New Year! Though it really has nothing to do with the content of this post, I thought the picture to the left, which I borrowed it from we make money not art, was appropriate for this time of year. I started this blog in September of the past year as a place to occasionally…

  • Another product idea

    I don’t know how many of you keep a training log, but I suspect that many of you do. Maybe some of you are resolving to start keeping a cycling diary in 2006. Even if you don’t race, keeping a somewhat detailed log that includes the basic stats from your ride, a description of the…

  • A concept bike for non-bike people

    If you are reading this blog, chances are, like me, you are a bit obsessed with bikes. I realize that lots of people out there don’t love bikes as much as I do, but that doesn’t mean that many of those people would not like to own and ride a bicycle if it were designed…

  • Free product idea

    One of my favorite parts on my current road bike is the Giant aero seat post shown in the picture to the left. It looks great on the bike and, with its 4:1 length to width section profile ratio, has a much lower drag coefficient than a standard round post. Due to its location on…

  • What’s old is new again

    I love to look at old pictures and drawings from the early days of the safety bike era. What an innovative time it was for the young bicycle industry. The books shown in this picture are some of favorites. Archibald Sharp wrote “Bicycles and Tricycles” in 1896. It is a very detailed book on the…

  • A post Interbike post

    OK, to be honest this post is not exactly about Interbike, but it is about my recent Interbike web searches. Rollyo is a great tool that I was using last week to search multiple cycling sites for news and pictures from the show. Basically, you can create custom searchrolls that consist of several of your…
