  • 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…

  • Eurobike and nouveau penny-farthings

    Believe it or not, show season 2009 is already underway with Eurobike taking place this week in Friedrichshafen, Germany. CyclingNews already has several tech articles from the show online (here, here, and here). It is probably no surprise that super light bikes and components and smarter electronic gadgets will be big at the show this…

  • Motorized long bikes

    There was a bit of long bike discussion on the blog recently in response to a couple of posts about the Fisher El Ranchero concept. Frequent commenter bikesgonewild was the first to mention that the El Ranchero would be “the perfect vehicle for Trek’s electric project.” After seeing those posts, a reader named Bob sent…

  • Eurobike Awards and a few more links

    I mentioned the G-max bike from Girs in a previous post. Coralie, an engineer who worked on the bike and documented its development in a blog, let me know that the G-max won a Eurobike Award 2008. Congrats to Coralie and everyone at Girs on the distinction. See the other bikes and products, including the…

  • Eurobike follow-up

    As I mentioned in my last post, Eurobike was bigger than ever this year. According to the latest email newsletter from the show, they had a record attendance of 36,800 trade visitors from 75 countries over the last few days. On top of that, over 18,000 people walked though and checked out the bikes on…

  • Eurobike opens today

    The big European bike show, Eurobike, opened today in Friederichshafen, Germany and, according to BikeBiz, the show has more exhibitors this year than ever before- over 930. Cyclelicious posted recently about the opening of the show, and you can check that post out for more information and for a multimedia presentation of random images related…

  • Mystery wooden bike

    Soon after I mentioned the JANO bike in June of last year, a reader, Roberto, sent me this image of another wooden bike. The message and image kind of got lost in the shuffle until he recently sent me another email about something else. Anyway, Roberto doesn’t really remember where he found this image. He…

  • 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…

  • Jackknife 2.0?

    Earlier this afternoon, Cyclelicious posted about a Cannondale prototype from Eurobike that looks a lot like a chain drive version of the foldable Jackknife concept bike. You can find out more about the prototype on the Cyclelicious post and also see the prototype here, here, and here. I am hoping to find out a little…

  • Eurobike and more

    Eurobike is underway right now, but I am not paying as much attention to it as I would like (I am busy at work and also kind of focused on what is coming up in Greenville). If you are looking for pics from Eurobike, Fritz has posted a great list of bloggers who are covering…
