In case CHEAP isn't enough


Thank you IKEA, for providing consumers with another incentive to spend their dollars. The IKEA Denmark store has unleashed the trailer bike for customer use. After market research revealed that 25% of customers use bicycles as a primary method of transportation, IKEA has made a deal with Velorbis bicycles (German-made, Danish design) to enable bikers to carry home their purchased items in an efficient way. Though this is just a test concept for now, the projected success hints at worldwide usage of trailer bikes in IKEA stores, especially in areas where cycling is most prominent.

RE-CYCLE



Boy genius rides his hand-crafted wooden bike in Gikongoro, a city in the South Province of Rwanda. Despite the horror that echoes through hills reminiscent of genocide, locals are not inhibited by their lack of resources. A die-hard biker fan shows his devotion to the art. The tires are made out of reused rubber and he even created his own license plate!

Ghost Bike



Here is your chance to commemorate a lost bikemate.
The tradition began in St. Louis in 2003, and has now taken the world by storm (as it should). A bike is painted white and then attached to the scene of the accident - a great way to pay tribute to our loved ones and their beloved bikes. R.I.P.

When in Maryland

Who walks on a bike path?!

A 16 year-old girl got served when she was strolling in the middle of the Hampshire Circle bike path when a man played a tune on his phallus she didn't like, forcing her to run away in terror. He was described to be wearing "tan pants and a white shirt," that is, before the bike path was violated.
