For those whom I haven’t met IRL, @BromptonBicycle has a video about how I #bike to work #worldwide, including #LA: youtube.com/watch?v=ahll6Q…
Excellent representation of #transport options and their impact on space in the #city (car / #bike / bus tram): pic.twitter.com/ekmpA9pETM
Succinct, highly educational time-lapse video of a folding #Bike Friday Companion built from nothing to shipping: youtube.com/watch?v=V0N77U…
A folding #Brompton #bike: I have yet to find a more fun way to arrive at a business meeting on time.
Cool! Folding #Bike Friday Tikit available this spring with Gates carbon belt drive and #Shimano Alfine 11 or Nexus 8.
You know, sometimes I just want to ride my #bike without being part of this #war for road space… with my hands off the brakes.
Why focus on 3 speed internal gear hubs’ mechanical efficiency and leave out cadence efficiency? A #bike is to move faster with less effort.

My lightweight self-supported #bike touring gear list: anatolyivanov.com/prose/en/AI.7… Long-distance #travel on a folding Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro.
My updated #Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro specs & pics: anatolyivanov.com/prose/en/AI.7… . #Campagnolo, #Shimano & Jtek ShiftMate combo, Nokon cables.
#Taiwan’s #bike parts manufacturer Sturmey Archer pads items inside parcels with shredders’ paper. Ingenious #reuse #recycle in #shipping!
Cyclist #abuse. Van driver fails to yield on stop sign, squeezes the #bike several times, yells, throws a bottle at him: youtube.com/watch
16 minutes #documentary about the pros, the cons, the testimonials and the numbers of #commuting by #bike in the #USA: vimeo.com/7966929
Avoid nice #Campagnolo 10 spd #bike chains for touring. Impossible to repair or replace using lightweight tools like Park Tool CT-5.
First crash on my 1,5 year old #Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro! Reason: watching a #Boeing 777 take off while riding. #Nalgene ATB destroyed.
The labor turnover in the #outdoor & #bike industries is staggering. Teams change so much, so often! Constant #job dissatisfaction? Other?
First #bike #ride since my #appendicitis / #peritonitis. Feels weird to have been off the bike for so long… Feels awkward, feels good.
Good. My #surgeon has authorized #running after my #appendicitis / #peritonitis. Even weight training! But no #bike riding for a month. Bad.
Most important factor when choosing between #Shimano and #Campagnolo road #bike components: brifter #ergonomics that match your hands.
SwissStop RacePro Green pads swissstop.ch/road.aspx crazy-squeal @ speeds over 45 k/h on #Campagnolo Skeleton #bike brakes & Alex DA22 20" rims.
Disappointing. The automatic switch-on mode of Busch & Müller IX-RED Senso rear #bike light thinks a shadowed forest road isn’t dark enough.
I thought it was a distance #runner problem only. Wrong. Today’s 83K #bike #ride under the sun has grinded my nipple in the same sweaty way.
By design, a tiny rubber bump on the #Campagnolo Ergo brake lever should block noise. But it now blocks upshifting on my #Bike Friday PRP!
50% of the Nokon casing I’ve bought has scratches. Brand new. Off the factory. But it does improve #Bike Friday’s tortuous cable routing.
Fitting Nokon cables to my folding #Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro. Epic struggle. Inconsistent diameters! German manufacturing #precision?!
Awesome! #Paris #bike shop Bicloune bicloune.fr had spare internals for my #Brompton’s SRF3! A rarity. No need for #UPS from Taiwan.
Seen from my #train’s window: 2 assholes cleaned up commuters’ #bike rack. People, switch to folders! Or at least bolt everything!
#Bike Friday now makes a folding stem for Pocket models (Rocket, Crusoe, Llama). Video: youtube.com/watch . Black only :(
I’ve seen zillions of bikes at #Eurobike09 . If you want to express your individuality, get a #bike. More choice than in the car industry.
Van Nicholas hydroformed (!) #titanium Astraeus #bike stolen yesterday at #Eurobike09. #Shimano DuraAce, Lightweight wheels… Total bummer.
Hilarious but so true: youtube.com/watch . Riding a #bike for performance vs trendiness. #Roadie vs #fixie. Great lyrics and video.
My new Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro specs: anatolyivanov.com/prose/en/AI.7… 20" folding road #bike built with #Campagnolo and #Shimano components.
An entire day... and night of #bike wrenching. Despite the heat it feels great!
