214 MPG DIY Super-Aerodynamic Modified Honda 125cc Motorbike

via TreeHugger on 1/27/10

Photo: Velomobiel Should be Able to do 235 MPG The Honda ANF125i Innova motorbike is a super-efficient bike to start with, but to bring it to the next level of fuel economy, from merely "super-efficient" to "holy crap efficient", it takes a certain level of ingenuity and craftsmanship, as well as a good understanding of the factors at play in how much fuel a vehicle uses. Allert Jacobs obviously has those qualities; he turned his 100+ MPG Honda (see photo of what it looks like unmodified below) into a 200+ MPG low-CD streamliner. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

Biker-centered design in Denmark

Check the railings that the man is holding onto and resting his foot on. It's located on a little Copenhagen traffic island where cyclists often wait, reports Copenhagenize.com.

The City of Copenhagen has implemented this double railing simply as a convenience for the cyclists who stop here. A high railing to grasp with your hand and a foot railing for putting your foot up, if that's what you fancy doing. Either way you can also use the railing to push off when the light changes.

The foot rest reads: "Hi, cyclist! Rest your foot here... and thank you for cycling in the city."

It certainly is a fine example of the City understanding human behaviour and basic anthropology.

Still so cold outside - and so very much missing Spring?....

d a c e Spring 2010 videolook from André Pinces on Vimeo.

May be this will help cheer you up! I discovered this little gem over at nadinoo. Lovely bicycle cafe day, part of the Dace's SS10 collection lookbook. This little pretty movie reminds me a bit of the one last year that Sophia Coppola created for Miss Dior Cherie - - Paris, bicycles.....

My hiatus is over, the new year is already 7 days old, time to move. What I've been up to you, you ask? Oh, you know, the usual. Kicking back in my peculiar way, seeing relatives for xmas, spending quality time with Lauren and celebrating that big ol' street party with friends and some more unwinding. A few excerpts of all those things related:

Lauren stepping up after stepping down from the plane

Post-Xmas city cycling

Street/bike view from Cafe 't Smalle in the Jordaan

Traffic heating up on Dam Square at 20 minutes to 12

A few minutes into the new year on Nieuwmarkt

Blurry canal tour boat view on some bridge bike parking

Colder, but the same

Colder, but the same

Colder, but the same

Waving their goodbyes

Air trail

Two fathers, three sons

King of the world

Take your banana time

Ice skating on Museum Square

And of course there's only one way to get there

Transport modes crossing paths at winter dusk, Leidsestraat

And just when you think it's all winding down...

Here's to nothing but the best (cycling) for you and your loved ones in 2010.
