The First Bike RV!

On a little website called Fixbert, I came across probably one of the greatest pictures of all time. The concept is just perfect for those bike enthusiast that are indeed trying to go green. You have your living quarters and transportation all in one spot, what more than that. The only flaw that i can take from this picture is that does it detach from the home itself? The only reason I ask this question is because If you worked in the city and this was your means of transportation, I would hate to park this or try to park this vehicle on the street of a busy city……I know, I know this picture is probably just a concept, but just imagine, it could be the start of something new.

Lance training in Hawaii

It must be nice having the ability to go biking in a warmer climate all year round, and not having to deal with Mother Nature’s winter blend. This is a very timeless picture with the word “Aloha” written in the background and I think it sums up Lance Armstrong as an individual and his career.

It plays on a bit of irony being the meaning from Wikipedia states, “The word aloha derives from the Proto-Polynesian root *alofa. It has descendants in other Polynesian languages, such as the Māori word aroha, also meaning “love.” A folk etymology claims that it derives from a compound of the Hawaiian words alo meaning “presence”, “front”, “face”, or “share”; and ha, meaning “breath of life” or “essence of life.” Although alo does indeed mean “presence” etc., the word for breath is spelled with a macron or kāhako over the a (hā) whereas the word aloha does not have a long a.”

Love for the sport is what has truly driven Lance to become the mythological figure that he has molded into, while holding record after record in the cycling world. Lance Armstrong is indeed the face of this sport and has ultimately changed it for the better. A couple months ago he brought himself back into this world of cycling out of desire, love, passion to ultimately express his fight with cancer have that one last “breath of life”

ALOHA!!!

Riding in a Flood!

After looking at this photo and taking in all the scenery I began to think to myself for a little. This gentlemen must either be commuting home from work or the local school. Why do i say this? Because you have 2 younger kids on bikes as well in the background with their school bags on, and behind them two older individuals that could be some sort of guardian picking them up from school. Now, this man on the bike, marching through the flood waters is either part of the school’s administration or has cut out of work early so he doesn’t miss his wife’s home cooked meal. Dedication, determination, and desire is what this young man portrays and because of that he has earned our “Pic of the Day”.

Santa Bike Shark

Since time is ticking down, and the Holiday season is about to celebrate its finest day I think its appropriate to post this picture that I came across. Santa not only delivers presents to all little boys and girls across the world, but also finds time to get to those wild animals within our ocean. Didn’t know Santa had the skills to pull a wheelie on the bottom of the oceans floor. Much respect to this Jolly fellow!

Happy Holidays!

The Competition Bicycle

“It’s a beautiful book that tells the story of racing’s influence on bike design. None of the bikes we show have been restored, but are actual bikes ridden by Bartali, Coppi, Merckx and others just as they were raced,” stated by Jan Heine about his new release. The publisher or Quarterly Magazine has just released this new photographic masterpiece that gives some true meaning to the world of cycling.

“No Bikes!”

In the Los Altos Hills section of California, the city council decided to ban bike riders on one of the busiest routes cyclist maintain by painting “No Bikes” on the pavement. Check out this picture below and notice the cyclist in the top right, i guess he didn’t event realize the signage.

Get more on this article and the update to see how the neighboring townies took the local change at Cyclelicious.

Lance Surfing

On December 1st, Lance posted some pics up on his twitter account. Its kind of cool to see how a sports star lives his normal life, as a normal human being not different then any of us. Check out more pic from Lances “TwitPic” account.

Flintstones Bike Wanna Be’s!

Try screaming down your local street on these bikes and see if you don’t hurt yourself when coming to an intersection. Looking for your next Halloween costume, I think I found it! These Flintstones  wanna Be’s are really pushing life to the limits.

Rebar Frame

Once i saw this picture it grabbed my attention right away. Being in the home building business I have been around this steel material for some time now. The only think is that I have only seen this used in concrete work and never in another form. Not only a great solution for a bike frame, but at the same time a very solid piece of art. You might tend to feel every bump in the road, but I can guarantee you that this bike will last a lifetime.
