SpokesNYT profiles parents & their NYC cargo bikes

this image will take you to the NYT’s article Hauling Cargo, No Car Necessary

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…

…his suggestion, “April 4th, 1898″

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!

i’m in love w/ Katzenjammer’s ‘A Bar In Amsterdam’

how she rides in this weather

Being a firm believer in making bike riding a regular and normal part of one’s life I wear my normal clothes but add some extra layers to the ensemble. Today’s forecast is clear and cold! Sunny with wind at 22 mph gusting to 31. The ensemble today will be quite ordinary. The addition of a base layer is the critical difference. – from why she rides, a new #BikeNYC’r

holding fast to toe clips?

i’m no speed demon. the extent of my exuberance extends from the top of the bridge to the bottom. other than that, i’m in the slow lane looking at the city. as an avid supporter of nyc based products, i’m quite excited to see that Hold Fast is a Brooklyn foot strap manufacture. while they cater to “freestyle” cyclist, i’m wondering if these suckers will hold up to my dress shoes and flip flops…
