Bike trains are a great way for kids and their parents to cycle to school in a safe and fun environment.
This bike train in Portland is huge! And notice how many Dads (and mums) are cycling on tandem bikes or with child seats on their bikes.

Everything’s Connected
Thursday, August 18th, 2011The City of Sydney has produced a series called of videos ‘Everything’s Connected’.
Similar to the videos produced by Transport for London, these short vignettes tell stories from real-life Sydney bike riders. They express the joy and freedom of riding a bike around the city and watching them made us feel happy!
You can view and share them all from YouTube. Enjoy!

Our favourite posts – July
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011July marks the most prestigious bike race in the world, the Tour de France. While sprints and mountain climbs aren’t really our thing, we did find some fabulous cycle-chicness amongst the lycra.
Our favourite posts from July:
- I Love Dust’s Tour de France illustration.
- Pro cyclist Mark Cavendish cuts a dashing figure.
- Beautiful bikes from My Old Bicycle.
- Not cycling? What’s your excuse? The No Excuse Zone.
Stop Honking
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011Yes I know you’re behind me. Yes I know that you’re really anxious to get to the shops/work/home as soon as possible.
But hey the government decided to build a road which can only fit the width of a single car with no bike lane, so I’m gonna have to ride in front of you. And my little legs can’t keep up with the power of your engine.
So please, stop honking. Unless you’re just giving me a friendly hello tootle.
