…just saw this on the Governors Island Blog.
Not only will they start renting (the now bankrupt) Fietsfabriek Cargobikes, vis-a-via Rolling Orange, at Bike and Roll, BUT…
And who knows? Soon, we could be hosting the New York City’s first bakfiets race.
Shit! Now I need to save my pennies and buy the last one from Adeline Adeline. BUT the real question is, will it be a mother’s race or a no-holds-bars-copenhagenize run?

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…

so last week, mr. obama came to new amsterdam on his jet plane and the NYPD freaked out that bikes could be pipe-bombs. tisk-tisk, silly NYPD. next time, use the same excuse the dutch have been using for years… urban blight…

The TV Series is 3 part documentary on cycling in Dublin. The main premise of the series will be to look at how a cycling culture can be developed in Dublin and what that might look like. To that end, one programme will be a kind of travelogue where we go on a journey from Dublin to Amsterdam via London by bike, ferry and train. We will follow Ciaran Fallon (the new Cycling Officer at Dublin City Council) on his journey as he meets various people involved in the cycling cultures of London and Amsterdam to see what is happening from a cycling perspective in those cities and what Dublin can learn from them.

btw, there was an American pedal project and you can find that over at “Pedal.” it has nothing to do with this project…
one NYC’s tragic landmarks are the Ghost Bikes that dot the city’s landscape as reminders of our vulnerability. Daniel Panzer’s Ghost Bikes is a beautiful reminder to be vigilant.
this is such a cruel joke, but at the sametime, it’s SO funny to watch. (btw, mute unless you like horrible rock music.) – video discovered by @bikewobble. btw, if you come across a similar situation here in NYC, call 311 ASAP!

i’m soooo looking forward to this documentary on American Urban cycling.
NYTimes.com Spokes blog has a nice little write up on two wheel love. Don’t forget the cammio by the IBM 7094. Two Wheels + Two Seats = Love
doesn’t this video remind you of #BikeNYC?
