Today, we asked “#BikeNYC, does [the first weekend in April] work for NYC’s first tweed/tweet run?”
@BikeSnobNYC chimed in with 4 April 1898 AND did so on his blog! After tonight’s Ignite NYC #8, Brooklyn Edition, the gang of @NewAmsterdamize will be buying a few pitchers of NYC beer!

are you looking for that perfect dutch with all the bells and whistles? some might call this bike ugly, but others will rave about it being the creme-de-la-creme of commuting haas. not only does it have splash guards, rear O lock, tire pump, heavy duty rack, shocks, dyno, enclosed chain guard, and quick-adjust ergonomic handles… it’s comes with a Nuvinci Hub! this hub is the ultimate in “gearing” exuberance! it’s two gears and an infinite selection between the two…
this batavus retails for $1,500 and up! for $800 + $75 in shipping, this sucker is a steal!

in new amsterdam, there’s only one way to secure your ride – “the chain.” wether it be On Guard, Kryptonite, Abus or a rinky-dinky home improvement brand chain, new amsterdam lives by the chain.
with a new ride in the family, i’m interested in a lock i don’t see too often – the folding lock from OnGuard (top) or Abus (bottom). on the whole, Abus and OnGuard look like spitting images of each other, but i’m really wondering wondering how they stack up against the chain.
according to the british bike site, bikeradar.com, the Abus folding lock has three stars and the OnGuard isn’t rated. so how do these things stack up against the chain gang?
shabbat shalom, welcome to NYC’s one and only rickshaw sukkah.

can you believe that they are going to start selling this bike at $550 in the USA? it’s a damn dirty shame that they are getting rid of the front internal drum breaks and dynos to shave off $400 from the price. USA’rs should wise up and realize that front dynos are one of god’s best damn inventions. every bike should have one.
