In mid July some utter scumbags that I hope are suffering the worst pain imaginable stole two of my favourite #bicycles from the basement of the apartment house I live in.
As for the #gravelbike, the Swiss road rep of #Raymon brought over a top-of-the-line sample bike that I could use for 6 weeks. Highly appreciated, I may have gone mad without that one.
Today I picked up a potential new trailbike at a friend's place in Zurich: 27.5in wheels, carbon frame, iconic colours. #Yeti #mountainbike

Here is a crazy idea: let people ride the #bicycles they like with the clothes they want. This goes both ways. Don’t judge people for wearing or not wearing spandex. Upright or aero positions are all fine. Let people just enjoy #cycling.

A few years ago, I scanned a 1919 Mead Ranger #Bicycles mail-order catalog. What did the #bike market look like 100+ years ago? Have a flip through it here:

Found this in the bike shop and I have no idea what it goes to. Any ideas? Those are two different threaded rods on either end that can be adjusted separately.

A more comfortable and healthier bicycle saddle - who wouldn't want that? The bicycle manufacturing industry does not seem too keen on it.

I wonder if they could successfully market these seats direct to consumers?

In the natural world, what is the probably the most efficient traveler?

Probably a fish like a salmon

Not a horse. Not a bird like a pigeon. And a mouse is surprisingly inefficient

And not a human

But

Put us on a #bicycle and it seems we have the entire natural world beat *and* all of our machines 😲

My mum is currently in Wellington, NZ and sent me this photo of Dutch style double decker bicycle parking on the street
