    Transport+ from Trek’s Gary Fisher Collection

    There was a good bit of interest in the Gary Fisher El Ranchero longtail bike when I posted it in 2008. Though the El Ranchero was presented at Trek World ’08 as only a concept bike, Gary himself commented at the time saying, “we will make a long bike, E bike? RIGHT on!” Well… that…

  • Folders, e-bikes, bent-ply and more

    Well… the 2009 Tour de France just wrapped up yesterday and I am already starting to experience withdrawals. No more live feeds or up to the minute tweets to follow each morning…how am I going to get by? It was an exciting Tour to watch this year, but now I can move on to some…

  • 2010 Fisher Road bike

    I mentioned a little earlier that I am fairly new to Twitter. I am not sure why I waited so long to start though because Twitter is the place to be if you want to see and hear things first. This sneak peak of a 2010 Gary Fisher road bike in the photo studio was…

  • 6 questions for Chad Lockart, Sr. Designer at Trek

    When I mentioned the Fisher Simple City bike a couple of weeks ago, I said that I would follow up with more information about the prototype. It took a while for me to get around to it, but I finally asked Chad Lockart, Sr. Industrial Designer at Trek, a few questions by email about the…

  • 3 practical bikes

    There is no doubt that we are going to see many more commuter/ shopper oriented bike designs on the market in the near future. In just the past few days, I have run across the new designs that are pictured here. Expect to see many more as tradeshow season approaches. The Soulville from Masi is…

    Hey, who is that dude on the glowing bike?

    I couldn’t resist posting this picture of mountain bike pioneer Gary Fisher riding a glow in the dark Biomega MN02. The bike, designed by well known London based designer Marc Newson, is the only one I know of with a glow in the dark frame… a feature that I think is a great idea. To…
