Deus Ex Machina
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Incredible bike company from Australia. Their style is a throwback to 40’s custom bike culture, designing bare bones motorcycles as well as fixed gear bicycles. Wicked brand, huge fan of the hand-done feel. Have a look at their site here.

Oregon Manifest
Posted in: Uncategorized
Oregon Manifest is the red letter event in the capitol of the bicycling world. This event spans from October 2 all the way through November 8th, promising six weekends of celebrating of the art, craft, and community of bicycling.
Of the events, I’m most excited about the Constructor’s Design Challenge. This is a competition that invites extreme ingenuity to bicycle building that aims to smash together a Venn diagram of combined performance, utility, and aesthetics. Registration is open until July 31st and we’re already seeing a phenomenal list of legendary frame-builders rising to the occasion including Vanilla, Independent Fabrication, Richard Sachs, Ira Ryan, and other favorite builders of mine. What’s more, the event is being judged by Rob Forbes (the founder of Design Within Reach,) Sky Yaeger (cycling industry visionary and creative mind at Swobo), Ron Sutphin (president of United Bicycle Institute), and Bryant Bainbridge (product creation at Specialized Bicycles.)
The grand prize of the Constructor’s Design Challenge is an incredible bespoke suit from Timothy Everest, the tailor for Rapha.
As you can see, this is going to be a monumental event!

Tweed Run, London January 24th 2009
Posted in: UncategorizedThe first Tweed Run took place in London recently with about 150 cyclists wearing tweeds and the like. A veritable Gentleman’s Whiskey and Chat on two wheels. We need to bring this stateside. Any takers?

Laser Bike Lanes
Posted in: Uncategorized
Ridership has increased every year for city dwellers who’ve chosen the bike as their mode of transportation. Bicycle safety, on the other, hand remains a huge issue (Check the stats here). LightLane, is a safety concept that was developed by designers at Altitude, Inc. – and if produced – would become an excellent alternative to the expensive bike lanes installed across the cities of the U.S.
