Designer cycling style in Tokyo

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012 
Sueshiro Sana is a ninth-generation Japanese shipwright who produces beautifully hand-crafted wooden bikes out of mahogany.
According to Sana, the bike’s structure is actually improved by the mahogany – the wood lends flex and responsiveness in a way no metal frame ever could, giving riders an increased sense of control. The bike also weighs only 8kg.
A number of his bikes have actually been raced professionally, through all terrains and weather types. Amazing!

Bike parking with a touch of a button
Monday, October 3rd, 2011This 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.
