This Sears 3 speed bike, circa 1966 or so, is one I have had for a long time. I sold it to a friend though about 3 years ago and today I bought it back as he wasn’t using it. It is from Austria. I doubt you can buy much made in Austria at [...]

I recently discovered Monkeylectric.com .

All those old French Porteur bikes in a previous post (scroll down a bunch) kinda got me jonesing to build one. Still need to get some green leather bar tape for it. [...]

I found this link on www.copenhagenize.com this am… SO COOL! These kids formed their own bike club… and as a group they ride to school even though the city where they live has no infrastructure for bikes. I imagine that over time… movements like this will convince the powers that be to include more pedestrian [...]
