E-bikes, co-creation, and Disraeli Gears
I have been traveling for the past week, and will continue to do so next week, so I am a bit behind on the blog. I have quite a bit of unread email to get to as well, but today I want to quickly pass along a few of links that might interest many of…

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…

Catching up with links
If you have seen the carbon/titanium Exogrid frames from Holland Cycles, you already know that they are works of art. Filmaker and photographer Jeff Katz recently documented the Holland Cycles framebuilding process starting with selection of the tubes and ending with a ride on the complete bike. The laser cutting of the titanium outer tube…

A few bike links from Google +
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed a slight decline in activity lately. I am definitely not giving up on Twitter, but I have been playing around with Google Plus for the last couple of weeks (add me to your circles if you are using it too). So far, I have discovered…

Bloglovin’ and a few links
Follow my blog with Bloglovin OK… I didn’t come up with that first line. It is part of the claim process for Bloglovin, a Swedish feed reader site that I am trying out as an alternative to Google Reader. I have been using it a bit, and I really like the design and functionality of…

Bike shows, an art exhibition, and a milestone
Here in the U.S., May is National Bike Month. I will probably be posting more often than usual on my local cycling blog, as we have quite a bit planned throughout the month here in Greenville, SC. I hope you are all finding ways to use Bike Month events to encourage cycling in your local…

A MINI bike and more
I am still in catch up mode at work after a few weeks out of the office, but I want to quickly pass along at least a few of the links that have collected in my inbox while I was away. So without further ado (can’t believe I actually wrote that), here they are in…

Globike, a roundtail, and other links
I am feeling a bit jetlagged after the long flight from China, but I want to pass along a few interesting links before I will be off again later this week. I’ll be traveling light (without a computer) this time, so don’t expect any updates on the blog next week. After a little time off,…

The EADS Airbike and other links
I have seen quite a few different posts today about the EADS ‘Airbike’ (named after the EADS subsidiary Airbus). The European Aerospace and Defense Group created this bicycle to demonstrate their Additive Layer Manufacturing (basically 3d printing) process. The official EDS press release explains that the nylon structure is ‘grown’ from a fine powder, allowing…

A design competition and other links
NeilPryde Bikes is running a design competition that many of you might want to enter. Between now and May 1st, design your own graphics for their Diablo model on the theme of Freedom, and you could win a frameset painted with your customized graphics and a $1,000 prize. If you win, they may even produce…

Beixo GO, Retrovelo, and more
I mentioned the Beixo Share bike in a post late last year. Currently, Beixo is working on a new bike- a 16-inch wheel folding model called GO. Jos Ramselaar designed the GO while he was studying Industrial Design at TU Delft (and Beixo points out that he “graduated with a 9 on this project”). The…

Nectar, Elixir, and assorted random links
Nectar, a fixed seat clamp, and Elixir, quick release seat clamp, are the latest products from Swarm, a product design firm based in Salt Lake City. Both clamps feature a bottle opener that is nicely integrated into the form (unlike similar products that I have seen). They are launching the products using Kickstarter, so be…

Simeli dress guards and other links
Crocheted dress guards have been around for a long time. In the late1800’s, women quickly figured out that rear wheel guards were the best way to prevent flowing dresses and skirts from getting caught in the spokes while riding. Now, a Dutch company, Simeli, is making hand crocheted dress guards for traditional upright bicycles with…

2010 recap
2010 was a big year for Bicycle Design. In late February, I finally moved the blog from the old blogspot subdomain to the current location at BicycleDesign.net. The old URL had quite a few incoming links, so it took a while for traffic at the new location to ramp up. There are still thousands of…

Lots of unrelated links
“The Beast” by M55 Bikes is an aggressive looking pedelec with a claimed 40 mph max speed. I think this is one of those electric bikes that begs the question, how fast is too fast? Isn’t this really just a motorcycle with pedals? Also recently posted at Yanko Design, re:energy is a front wheel concept…

A long Friday link post
Well, it’s Friday… the end of another busy week. I am pressed for time, but I want to quickly pass along a few of the links that I have noticed in the past week or so. So in rapid-fire fashion, here it goes. I mentioned jruiter +studio’s city simplicity bike in a past post. Now…

Friday links
It is Friday afternoon, but I’m still pretty busy trying to wrap up a few things before the workweek ends. While I have been focused on a couple of big projects this last couple weeks, the bike related links that I have wanted to share have been stacking up. I guess that means that it…

LED tires, smart bikes, and a competition
I am getting ready for another busy day of work in China, but before I head down to breakfast I want to quickly pass along a few of the links that have been accumulating in my inbox. A few readers alerted me to Cyglo tires (pictured here) which have LED lights embedded in the tread…
