The Smoothie Cycle

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

With the weather warming up, every day is just an excuse to drink another smoothie.

Brisbane business The Smoothie Cycle brings a slightly different experience to the smoothie blender – the smoothies are pedal powered! You can opt to pedal your own smoothie or a friendly staff member will burn the calories for you.

The ingredients are 100% certified organic and the smoothies include different combinations of seasonal fruits, nuts, seeds, cacao, cinnamon, cardamon, honey, agave, juice, mesquite, chia seeds, maca, yoghurt and milk.

We spotted them in Brisbane at the Finders Keepers markets and while we couldn’t leave our stall to do our own pedaling we did try one of their classic banana smoothies. Yum!

Sable Argent v11 605x338 Sydney Rides Booklet

We visit Sydney several times a year and we’ve had great fun discovering the city’s ever-expanding network of cycleways with a rental from Humble Vintage.

Now City of Sydney has a free pocket-sized booklet featuring eight adventures for you and your bike in inner-Sydney.

You can order a hard copy of the booklet by calling 9265 9333 or just download the ride you want.

You can also check out where we rode to in Sydney on our CycleStyle (virtual) world tour.

Park in a Bike Tree

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

The video’s a bit grainy but it shows one of the most innovative bike parking structures we’ve ever seen.

Swipe your smart card, put your bike on the hook and it hoists it up the ‘tree’. Retrieve your bike by swiping the same smart card on your return.

We’ll be back dispatching your orders on Wednesday 2 November. In the meantime, G&T anyone?

Bike parking with a touch of a button

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

This week we’re doing a series of post about cycling to work, to help get you in the mood for Ride to Work Day next Wednesday 12 October.

To start us off, check out the video showing how commuters to Kansai station in Japan park their bikes in the morning rush hour with a push of a button.

We’re so jealous! Five seconds to park your bike safely rather than searching for a free lamp-post. Plus we love the stair-side conveyer belt for bikes.

Roll-Up Bicycle Valet Parking

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Roll-Up is a new bicycle valet parking service which is launching at State of Design.

DSC018191 Roll Up Bicycle Valet Parking

Instead of locking your bike up to the nearest lamp post, cyclists can get their bike valet parked for free by the fun-fair themed Roll-Up crew. It’s a great initiative as the provision of safe, secure and convenient bike parking will hopefully encourage people to take active and sustainable transport to festivals and events.

Melbourne is an official bike city, after all :–)
