  • Bikes of the Tour de France

    OK, as you can tell by the absence of green on Hincapie’s Discovery kit, this picture is not actually from the Tour de France. Instead, this is one of my shots from the Tour de Georgia earlier this year. I would like to be in Europe watching the race and taking new pictures, but instead…

  • Great shots of the new Madone

    I wasn’t planning to post additional pictures of the newest Trek road bikes today, but these shots are really just too good to pass up. Trek’s art director Paul Rogers took these pictures of the bikes at the Milwaukee Art Museum on the event’s opening night. As you probably gathered from my last post on…

  • The 2008 Trek Madone

    Neil at Road Magazine was at the Trek Launch yesterday and posted the first pictures that I have seen of the new 2008 Madone. See more pictures on Neil’s blog. I like the graphics scheme on this bike. I have said before that I like the graphics on Ridleys and Orbeas because they are not…

  • A new compact Trek?

    I know, I know, most of you have probably already seen these images. They have been floating around the web for some time now and I never bothered to post them. I remember seeing them here back in January of this year. Well, a reader, who wishes to remain anonymous, says that the final design…

  • Do you want to listen to these guys (and gal)?

    Wait, don’t answer too fast. If you are interested in the design of bicycles, you probably really do want to hear what they have to say. If you live anywhere near Kohler, Wisconsin, you can get the chance at the upcoming IDSA Midwest regional conference (register here). On Friday, April 20th, the Trek Bicycles industrial…

  • Trikes and Macs

    I followed a link from designboom this morning to find these great shots of tricycles in Beijing. Since I mentioned utilitarian bikes around the world in a recent post, I want to pass these pictures along. If you are interested, you can also find a few of my own pictures of Chinese bikes and tricycles…

  • Friday links

    I am in a hurry today, but I want to quickly pass along a few links of interest. Check out the Trek Lime blog for an interesting podcast. Trek used Solidworks software in the development of the Lime, so the folks at Solidworks talked to Trek’s senior industrial designer Hans Eckholm about the design of…

  • “Designing the Ride” photos- part 2

    Last week, I posted some pictures from the opening night of the Trek “Designing the Ride” exhibit at the Eisner Museum. As promised, here are the remaining pictures from that event. The first two pictures show the area of the room devoted to the LeMond Triomphe Carbon Road bikes. The remaining pictures show the spaces…

  • “Designing the Ride” photos- part 1

    Not long ago, I posted about the Trek “Designing the Ride” exhibit at the Eisner Museum. Chad Lockart, a Senior Designer at Trek, was nice enough to send me some of his pictures from the event’s opening night. After getting a sneak peek of the exhibit, I really want to get up to Milwaukee to…
