We’re fascinated by these LEDs tights which we found on Instructables.
“Wear them dancing and all eyes in the room will be on you. Wear them running and drivers will know to get out of the way!”
A nifty alternative to our Disco-bright Reflective Legwarmers!
The United States Postal Service launched a range of ‘green stamps’, designed to pass on the message of living a more eco-friendly life. Surprise, surprise…riding your bike is one of the stamps!
Good to see a public institution getting behind the message of promoting the health of our environment.
If you travel around Holland you’ll see that lots of people ride the old-fashioned, sit-up-and-beg bikes. To the point where the words ‘Dutch City Bike’ conjures up a particular sort of elegantly framed ride.
Now you can custom-build your own Dutch City Bike with Beick. Basically, you design your ride on the Beick site from modular parts and it is assembled to order. The bikes have aluminum frames, Shimano hub gears and Vredstein tires. You can choose your seat, brakes, handlebars and forks and color schemes are provided using snap-on plastic components.
The basic bike with a Brooks leather saddle and without fenders or a chain guard comes to just €250.
Unfortunately we don’t think Beick currently ships to Australia. However, a Melbourne business Papillionaire is offering a similar service which delivers all around Australia.
Summer arrives! We organise a photoshoot of our new stock by the beach, have lunch at bike cafe Little Mule and party at the inaugural Melbourne Bikefest.
We’re also inspired by some man style and an 80s old school bike accessory.
Spring prettiness abounds in our favourite September posts:
