Once again, the Dutch design my ideal utopia. Such a great project on so many levels but honestly, the reason I posted this is because there is a little kid getting pitted on the ramp!
S333 Architecture obviously knows what people want; architecture you can ride a bike on! Sure it's mixed use and Americans could learn a lot from the Dutch, especially NYC's urban planners, but something is to be said about the incorporation of the bicycle in everyday life in Holland that hits me as the future, not the past as US-Bureaucrats want you to believe.
But since both Kyoichi and Burd did, I figured I might as well.
I've been working on the big spins more and more lately and finally dialed them in. Yeah yeah yeah, I'm well-aware I just posted a video last week, but the one in this video is smoother and tonight I landed some pretty unprecedented variations. This is the only one I got on tape before my digital camera died.

At Interbike, Stevil from How to Avoid the Bummer Life pulled me aside, stuck a knife to my throat and told me if I screamed he'd give me a "smiley, from ear, to ear".Once I calmed down and got over the intial shock, I listed carefully. He proposed that I post on his "all things track bike and ADD internet blog" he was working on with Swobo. He then told me that Julie, Kevin from Cog Mag and Stevil from Swobo would be posting as well.After I realized he wasn't going to buck fifty me. I agreed!The blog, entitled "Guys Who Cut Their Own Hair" is launching later today!Go ahead and add us to your RSS readers!
Matt up in B-flo just sent me this email about Positive Approach, a new store in Buffalo. Seems the guys at Positive Approach are taking the Cadence model to hear and attempting to recreate what Dustin did in Seattle in Buffalo.Good luck guys!Check out one of their shirts above and a few words from Charlie"Check out the first shirt Joe and I have put together for the Ridden/ Delicious Fixicious Line. You will be able to pick one of these up at the store Positive Approach we are opening up at 611 Elmwood."
Does this guy have a job? Everyday there's a new video up. Mosher, you living off Canadian welfare? Another sick video with a solid line. Good job dude!
So Fixed Gear London just upped these images to their Flickr stream and I have to say, this bike looks so ill! Can't wait to see the whole thing guys!"Fixedgearlondon was founded by Andy and Ted in 2005, riding fixed has since become our lives – and more. This frame is the first that Ted has built from scratch and is Fixedgearlondons’ interpretation of what a Vans fixed gear bike should be like."
