Bike Shops = Art

If only every bike shop looked like this, we might get everyone on a bike.

Happy riding!

Bikes from the Future!

A terrific bike-related link found its way into my inbox this morning, and I had to share it with my fellow bike enthusiasts. This article, entitled "15 Amazing Bicycles for the Future of Seoul," offers up an enticing peek at a few examples of what could be the future of bicycle design for commuters in crowded and polluted cities like Seoul. Take a look and see which of these designs could inspire your next bike project or purchase.

Get thee a handlebar

We're busy fixing bikes with folks, but we've got some treasures for sale, as well. Come on by -- today is also the Mini Maker Faire!

Early March but we're hopping!

Getting the bikes ready to roll... finally getting pictures uploaded :) Hey, it's back to something like snow but spring is really going to get here, any day!

We'll be doing some different things with hours and classes this season, so stay tuned.

One Very Custom Bike

This is one sure way to build a custom bike that will get you noticed. Or is it a hybrid car?

Winter Maintenance

Yes, it's under 20 F out there and yes, people are tracking in snow on their tires but yes, it's still lively and bustling at The Bike Project as we make those tires hold air again.

We were listening to the "Out Spoken Cyclist" since we get that locally now at WRFU, and it featured a fellow talking about Calvin's CHallenge and randonneurs (and the challenge of not having randonneuring options closely). I thought about it last year but it didn't pan out... but hearing this guy talk makes me want to get on that trainer...

Pictures from Snowy Saturday

I was going to be in Peoria for the League of Illinois Bicyclists meeting... then told 'em based on the forecast they'd have to carry on w/o me... then the meeting was done by phone. At any rate, I got to come on down to the bike project to get my trusty Studly Tyred Gazelle oiled (alas, it seems I can't get any easier than Gear 3 tho').

Joel and Mike loaded up The Trailer withbikes to get to the campus coop, and mother nature made our display bike purty... and an artist contributed a marvelous snow sculpture.

Exercise, Not Emissions

Many of you are already on-board with taking to your daily commute on 2 wheels, but the popularity of cycling to work, to errands and more is taking off the world over.

More pedal, less metal.

Car Free in CT - Missing CU

I gave CU props in this recent post to my new Connecticut blog outlet.

Currently building character and building up a bit thicker skin. Missing CU.
