Why did I miss NAHBS?
Yeah…I know the answer. I had a scheduling conflict this year, but I still kept asking myself that question as pictures from the show started popping up on Twitter and Instagram over the weekend. I am really just starting to look at the coverage from NAHBS 2015 online, but I want to take a few…

An electric bike design competition from eBikeTec
“Are Electric Bicycles the Future of Cycling?” Bicycling magazine asked that question recently on Twitter in reference to an article on the growth of e-bikes as a category. The article by David Howard quotes Pat Hus of Interbike, who estimates that “there are now 150 million e-bikes in use worldwide, mostly in China. By 2025,…

A few interesting designs from Eurobike 2012
Today marks the last day of Eurobike 2012, and I haven’t been following the show as much as I would have liked. For more in-depth coverage check out Bike Biz, Bike Rumor, VeloNews, Road Bike Action, and Bike Radar (just to name a few). What I would like to share today are a few products…

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…

A few more Eurobike links
It is September, so that means two things. It’s bike industry tradeshow time and cyclocross season is right around the corner (here in the southeastern US at least). I plan to ride my ‘cross bike a bit this weekend, so today I was combing the web to see some of the new cyclocross stuff on…

Read more about the 10 gold winners, and the 1 green winner at designboom. VeloNews has been posting photos from the show, not surprisingly with a focus on road…

Eurobike 2011 and a new cargo/utility e-bike
It’s hard to believe that it is already the last day of August, but Eurobike is now underway in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The show, now in its 20th year, kicked off with a demo day yesterday that broke the previous attendance record. Bike Biz reports that 350+ new products will be debuted at Eurobike this year.…

2011 NAHBS
The 2011 North American Handmade Bicycle Show wrapped up in Austin on Sunday with the announcement of the award winners. There were many beautiful bikes chosen, but my personal favorite bike didn’t make the cut for an award. Shin-Ichi Konno’s Cherubim concept track bike (pictured here from UrbanVelo) may not have been the most practical…

The Smart ebike by Hussein Al-Attar
Last month, I briefly mentioned the pedal assist e-bike, designed by Hussein Al-Attar, that Smart unveiled at the Paris Auto Show. In particular I mentioned the iPhone/smartphone based control center on that concept bike, a feature I had read about in a Cyclelicious post. There is much more to this Smart ebike than that iphone…

Vuelo Velo
It is hard to believe it is that time of year already, but Eurobike will be kicking off this Wednesday. If you are in Friedrichshafen later this week, you will most likely notice the curved seattube bikes from the Australian company Vuelo Velo (check out the about section of their website for a little background).…

Photos from the 2010 Taipei Cycle Show
I mentioned the winners of the International Bicycle Design Competition in my post last Thursday. I couldn’t find many good photos of the finalists online at the time, but that has changed in the last few days. Eric Stoddard is now home from the show, and has posted many photos from Taipei to his Flickr…

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…

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…

Le Batard bikes
A few months ago, Pierre sent me a message about Paris Bike Days, a small bike show that was held for the first time in April. I flagged Pierre’s message and meant to post about it at the time, but it was sort of lost in my inbox for a few months. Though the show…

2009 NAHBS links
I have not yet found time to look through all the pictures from the North American Handmade Bike Show, but based on what I have seen so far, there is a lot of good coverage out there. The NAHBS website is a great place to start, with photo galleries broken down into a few different…

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…
