Times Bicycle Club ride north on Western Avenue toward Hollywood, 1894. Courtesy of Braun Research Library Collections, Autry National Center: LS.14502 Earlier this month, advocates of alternative transportation cheered as the City of Los Angeles approved a long-awaited bicycle master plan. With more than 1,600 miles of proposed bikeways, the plan envisions a future in which the bicycle is an integral part of urban transportation. It also represents an embrace of the city's past and an era when bicycle paths rather than freeways or rail lines connected the Southland's communities.

Cycling. Riding a bike is a fun, healthy and sustainable way of getting around the city.
Using 2 wheels can also save you time and money. More and more Sydneysiders are riding bikes for transport, with a 100% increase over the past 3 years. Twice as many are riding bikes for transport than the national average, and some 31,600 City of Sydney residents get on a bike in a typical week (2013 Australian Bicycle Council survey). The City is supporting this growth in cycling by building a 200km bike network which includes dedicated bike paths separating riders from traffic and pedestrians. City staff are out and about each week at key locations with information and advice on bike riding in Sydney and our Try2Wheels events offer expert advice on everything from route planning to buying a new bike.

La bicicleta puede ser una buena forma de hacer ejercicio sin demasiado esfuerzo. Lo confirma esta semana una investigación cuyos datos vuelven a demostrar que, aunque no se le dedique mucho tiempo, practicar habitualmente esta actividad ayuda a controlar el peso.

La danza de las bicicletas en Amsterdam / Arriba e la Chancha. Durante la semana pasada visité Holanda y porsupuesto que no me tomó más de un par de horas estar montado sobre una bicicleta recorriendo la ciudad.
Amsterdam tiene un montón de energía y sus habitantes son bastante agradables. Después de haber estado casi dos semanas y media en Copenhague, Amsterdam me resultó un caos aparente para pedalear durante las 2 primeras horas. Estaba acostumbrado al sistema danés, donde por lo general se respetan las luces rojas o pistas de viraje. Kevin Scott's bike design gets around the theft problem.
I'm not sure about UK slang, but in America if I tell you "I'm gonna wrap my bike around a pole" that means I'm gonna crash it.
But Kevin Scott, an industrial design student at the UK's De Montfort University, means it in a different way. [image credit: Tony Kyriacou/Rex Features] Scott has designed a bicycle that the user wraps around a pole literally. A ratcheting mechanism transforms two parts of the bike's frame from stiff to bendable, and once wrapped, a single bike lock can be passed through both tires and the frame, which Scott hopes will decrease the bike theft rampant in London and so many other of the world's cities.
For his troubles, Scott won Runner-up in the UK's Business Design Centre New Designer of the Year Award. Bikes making tracks on road to greener travel.

Once dismissed as novelty toys or stash-in-the-trunk conveniences, they now are being seen as a way to get everyone on a bike. Yet when it comes to folders -- as they are known -- the difference between a $350 entry-level model and a $3,500 customized version goes far beyond the price tag.
