Danish Bicycle Infrastructure History
Copenhagenize &bull Yesterday
The seeds of bicycle culture in Denmark were first sown 120 years ago. We found a fascinating article about some of the historical aspects of Danish bicycle infrastructure history and thought it relevant to include it here. The first bike lane in Denmark was constructed on Esplanaden in 1892 and in 1896, Copenhageners were allowed to cycle on the side of equestrian paths. Marking out bike lanes in Copenhagen, 1915.

Kicking It Over: Innovation and Self-Expression
Bike Snob NYC &bull Yesterday
So far this week, we've looked at two (2) videos made by two separate human-shaped animals, each of which states in its own unique dialect of moronese that people should ride their bikes on the sidewalk or else they should get run over and die.

What's in a millimeter...
Black Mountain Cycles &bull Yesterday
One of the things I've enjoyed about my not-so-new life in the bicycle industry is wearing out parts. You see, prior to this gig at the retail level, I was on the industry side which simply means I worked for a bike company in product development. This meant that every year, parts manufacturers released a slew of new product and would send early production samples to me for evaluation. Instead of wearing out parts on my bikes, I replaced them well before their useful life was reached. Component groups,… Full Story »

Its engine is 46 years old, though, and hasn't been tuned in years. Worse than that, it wheezes badly on the slightest hill. On the… Full Story »
