The Dutch do it again. Moms can haul babies in style. Pedal pretty on this 3 -wheeled bike.

Mark found this guy at an estate sale. All he needed was some lube in his joints and he’s riding like a champ again! He goes faster than this but I took a series of still pics and created an animated gif out of it.
Mark just finished his first bamboo bike! It rocks!
He rode it to meet me after work on Friday. He was jumping around on it to test the frame and broke a spoke. but the bike is holding up beautifully. I get one next! He wants to build me a recumbent using pieces of a mountain bike frame with a shock in it. I can’t wait!
Isn’t it a beauty? We rode over to Volker on Saturday, then to Sage and Daisy, then to the Westport Coffee House and he had people asking about the bamboo bike all the way. My bike? Not so much. But soon…
Got a fly new set of handlebars for the Specialized.
I’m still testing them. It’s so different from my straight bars with bar-ends. I still think I want drop bars but this made for a fun ride to work this am.
Not wonderful with a headwind, but I’ll keep em for awhile. Thanks to the BF for setting this up for me.
…with an orange NPR radio!
and yes, I subscribe to KCUR and do a KILLER Kim Noble impersonation.
I got this from portlandize.com It’s so beautiful..and look at the bike lane! How wonderful Kansas City could be if we could just imagine more ways of getting around – and co-existing.
I was just there in November. Someday I think I’ll be moving there.
I’m too old to wait for KC to catch up.
MIT scientists are working on a new way to power a bicycle. It’s a power generation, storage and propulsion system known as the GreenWheel that will turn any pedal bicycle into an electric bike.
Check it out on the Discovery.com news site.
From the site:
The team estimates its range at 40,000 miles, or about eight years work of travel at an estimated 20 miles per business day.
“You’ll have to replace the bike before you replace the batteries,” Lin told Discovery News.
By this spring the GreenWheel team hopes to pass out more than a dozen different GreenWheel configurations to both hard-core bike messenger types and novice riders.
I will definitely have an electric bike someday along with my other bicycles.
OK, I want one of these.
At just under 5′ 3″ tall, I don’t even know if I”m tall enough to ride this one. I have mixed feelings tho because it makes me feel as though I’m crossing over the “old lady” line here but it’s obviously super-fast and uses regular road bike components.
I’m also testing my new WP plug-in. Contact 7. Feel free to contact away!

Here’s a photo I created in my Digital Photography class last sememster at Johnson County Community College. John Lamberton was my teacher. He’s great and I learned a ton.
Volker bicycles celebrated their 1 year anniversary with a little party on Friday. They are good people over there. Great service fast.
And they have a swell website. http://volkerbicycles.com
They also save innertubes for me for which I’m very grateful.
Congrats to Melissa and Britton!
