It seems that ‘Woman Wheelers’ not only have to worry about keeping the wheels turning and keeping up to speed… there is in fact a whole host of things that we should avoid when on two wheels, ( according to an old newspaper cutting ‘Don’ts For Woman Wheelers’). Magnificent Octopus, aka Kaputniq has begun to transform some of […]

The Tweed Ride Trend continues and I just saw a lovely video about a tweed ride in France that made me want to jump back to where I lived in Paris and join in. With the welcome addition of fresh baguettes and I am sure some yummy cheese and wine, their ride looked Tweedtastic. It could […]

I commute to work by bike. Sometimes this commute is aided by the train and sometimes not. I must admit that I am still building my fitness back up after hibernating this winter… so at present I am cycling all the way home twice a week (23 miles one way) and other wise I am taking […]

Bicycle Repairman = Superman ?
“See how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut!” I recently took part in a fantastic event called the Global Service Jam where alot of designers (+ other people) were working worldwide for one weekend, simply to see what they could do if they all rubbed their heads together a little bit. The theme […]

Booming Bicycles
The sun has finally come out in Scotland and I hope it lasts. I joined some friends on a cycle through a forrest track out to the beach last weekend and we made the ride a bit more fun by adding a very OLD ghetto blaster to the back of the bikes. Our tape collection […]

Many ‘keen’ cyclists and even many non ‘keen’ cyclists have more than one bike in their shed: it could be the one you have had since you were young & have grown out of… it could be the one you thought was beyond repair or perhaps even the one you bought on a whim. I […]

Community Bike Projects on Film
I just discovered this little video about the The Glasgow Bike Shed and think it is a great way to showcase this Glaswegian Social Enterprise that recycles bikes. The shooting of the video, the nice french accent and the soundtrack all work really well. Another inspiring project which is similar, although with slightly different objectives […]

The Sky is the Limit
Love Cycling and Love the Skyride was the general consensus from most people I saw or spoke to on Sunday at the Skyride in Glasgow. I made it along in the afternoon; after a nice brunch, managing to borrow a nice bike for the day, fixing a puncture on said borrowed bike and picking up […]

Innovative Bike Shop Advertising
Many people who love cycling, often love two things about it: the experience of riding and the beauty of the bicycle structure. A German bike shop in Altlandsberg (near Berlin) has capitalised on this in a recent PR stunt and transformed his shop’s ‘white canvas’ facade into a large-scale bicycle gallery art piece, by mounting 120 bikes […]
