Pete Stidman, director of the Boston Cyclists Union, suggested: “If cycling is some kind of crazy drug that makes us happier, healthier and better-looking, then bike share is the gateway drug.”
Ever wished you could ride a bike for a living? 
“There’s a freedom that comes with cycling. Only the cyclist knows why a dog rides with his head out the window” ~ Cyclist from Dartanyon

Being able to ride in the concrete jungle of San Jose, Costa Rica is the ultimate dream for me. I keep imagining bike lanes from the far east side of the city (UCR) to the far west side (La Sabana), making the City so much more desirable to visit and explore. The Tico Culture reuniting with it’s Capitol City would raise the frequency to the meaning ”Pura Vida Mae”. Continue Reading
Props to the people of Brazil and the SBM ;-)
Bike nao suja tanto! In Portuguese means– “Cars are dirty– time to clean up your act!” That’s my silly sarcastic interpretation. Watch the video below and tell me what you think? Of course, it would be wrong to go any further without giving props to the Slow Bicycle Movement for spreading the sustainable news!
Props to the shop of dedicated people of the Bamboo Bike Studio for training the boys of Ghana in building bamboo bikes in Africa. Because of them, over 600 bikes have been built, since January 2011. (close to 56 bikes per month) Dam proud to say these great educators of building bamboo bikes are the guys who showed me how to build my little Yodster, back in August, 2010.
Bamboo Bike Studio Team back in August 2010 (Sean, Justin, Marty, Josh) who helped me build my Yodster with my own two hands!
Hey Cali Bike Peeps? There are more people coming into San Francisco, from all around the globe, to build their own Bamboo Bikes. What’s up with that? Continue Reading
Janette Sadik Khan, Transportation Commissioner of New York City has turned 260 miles of cities streets into bike lanes. Half of Time Square, in the last two years, has been converted into bike lanes and city cafe’s. Business has doubled, almost, over night. People are pissed. Well, let’s get the facts straight. People who feel compelled to drive a car and get through the inner city without traffic, are furious. I imagine they’ve been feeling this way far longer then any bike lanes in NYC.
While the so-called car culture dominates in most American cities, mass transit has a defining influence on New York life; 41% use the subway, 24% drive alone, 12% take the bus, 10% walk to work, 2% travel by commuter rail, 5% carpool, 1% use a taxi, 0.6% ride their bicycle to work, and 0.2% travel by ferry. Meanwhile, 54% of households in New York City do not own a car, and rely on public transportation.
With these statistics brought to reality why would one even bother being mad? Continue Reading
Above are just a few portraits of every day peeps on their bikes in South Africa.
Bicycle Portraits are the passion of two young guys (below) on a crazy adventure to meet self propelled human beings from the seat of their own bicycles. They cycled over 6,000 km and shot portraits (interviews) with over 500 people by the seat of their own bikes. They found one common thread?
