glamor moms or not, ole gorge bliss builds beautiful nyc bakfiets! in this must watch video, the Sean Patrick Farrell profiles (aka @SpokesNYT) one mother and her two daughters as they ride around town doing everything they would normally do on a train, in a cab or behind the wheel of a gas guzzler…

i can’t wait to see more bakfiets in nyc. over the last year alone, there’s been a proliferation of shops selling dutch bikes and other urban/city bikes. while the racing and hipster crowd bemoan their existence, i am ecstatic!

if you’re looking for that carry all bike, there are four locations to get bakfiets.

Adeline Adeline – TriBeCa, which features Workcycles, built in NL
HUBStation – West Village, which features modified Worksman Cycles, built in NYC
Rolling Orange – Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, which features De Fietsfabriek, built in NL
Bolognabikes – Brooklyn, hand-built frames built to your specifications.

be seeing you…

My old buddies from Vespa Soho have decided to open up a new bicycle shop that’s focusing on dutch/urban bikes, cargo bikes and zero emission motorcycles. In celebration of their opening, they are inviting the #BikeNYC community to eat, drink and see their wares. Additionally, they are thinking about renting cargo bikes.

Join us this Tuesday, 8 Dec, from 7 pm – 9, for drinks, pizza and beer!!

bamboo bicycle trailer by freedom carry

in the spirit of new world explorers, (and looming winter months) i’m already starting to think about winter projects. besides looking for peeps who would be up for building, maintaining and fixing cargo bikes. i’m thinking of wrangling up a bunch of folks who want to build their own bike trailer.

who’s up for mayhem?
