DIY Old Bicycles The old adage goes, “It’s like riding a bike.” Meaning of course that cycling becomes so integrated into your muscle memory that you never lose the skill. So why not integrate bicycles into your home as well? There are all kinds of broken bikes available in classifieds and at garage sales—perhaps you even have one in your garage already. With so many components (wheels, gears, handle bars, etc.) so readily available and affordable (if not free), old bicycles are great fodder for making all sorts of recycled projects. Photo: potterybarn.com First up, take some inspiration from this bicycle planter, which you could purchase from Pottery Barn (for $250; it’s still available). Photo: readymade.com The radial spoke structure of a bicycle wheel makes for a fantastic way to organize and store your pots and pans and other kitchen gadgets. Photo: apartmenttherapy.com Talk about full integration. Photo: kylethewilson.wordpress.com Ride on! For more on reuse and repurposing, consider:

Its passenger is its engine. It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest incident of the nineteenth century. Tens of thousands who could never afford to own, feed and stable a horse, had by this bright invention enjoyed the swiftness of motion which is perhaps the most fascinating feature of material life. Why should anyone steal a watch when he could steal a bicycle? The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on.
PROLLY IS NOT PROBABLY - bikes, music, design, & bullshit. I want my life back » Other stuff “it’s about more eyeballs” was the passionate refrain from a man with a ‘digital vision‘ and a poor choice in ties earlier in my week. Somebody, who shall spent an eternity in hell, had furnished this ‘digital native‘ with novelty neck wear, a copy of powerpoint and an hour of my time to expound barely-baked theories on exactly how the world was going to work and – if we took his breathless advice – our place within in. Two problems. He was twenty years plus a bit past those who have an understanding of any of this shit – so therefore entirely irrelevant, and I wasn’t listening. Not because i wasn’t interested** but rather my attention was on the blurry audio visual experience which was more modern hieroglyphics than any discernible text. This wasn’t the surprise that a man waking up missing 10% of his vision would suggest. Visual assessment predates any proper medical advice. So many people were eyeballing my eyeball I began to feel a bit like a medical experiment.

Cyclists in the City Biking - SIMONBARNESdotNET A Look Inside the Workshop of Brooklyn Bike Builder Horse Cycles i b i k e l o n d o n This week's riding 30th March 2014 Riders: Richard, Terry & Tim LOMAC to Westhumble Weather: 14°C What promises to be a good ride on a warm, dry day with firm trails and good mates comes to a premature end when my rear wheel starts playing up. It's finally British Summer Time and despite losing an hour's sleep last night and waking up with a hangover for the second day running (after Friday's binge at the preview of Won't Back Down in Dorking) I drag myself down to the LOMAC to meet Terry and last-minute dot Tim. Terry sets a fast pace and I'm hanging on okay whilst Tim is trailing but after a while I seem to be losing power. We head downhill to try to fix it at Pilgrim Cycles in Westhumble. More maintenance for me to tackle during the next week.
