Watch the sneak peak of Paul’s Invisible Bike Prototype:

Invisible BIke Sneak Peak

Brian–why bike to the bar when you can bring the beers along for the ride?

$22 on Etsy.

Paul, this is mainly for you–nota bene bike #4. Also #6 / #9 / #14 are definitely bikes seen at burning man.

Rocketpack bike and others.

It is EXACTLY what it sounds like. Fun for the whole family at a friendly price hovering just above $4,000. Full suspension, appendages and a 2-seater coming out soon…

Curbside Haiku and Map

Using money from drunk driver fines, the NYC Department of Transportation has created 144 special new street signs featuring colorful artwork and safety messages written in haiku. “Curbside Haiku,” was created in partnership with the Safe Streets Fund, an advocacy group, and features 12 designs from artist John Morse. The tongue-in-cheek warnings (Cyclist writes screenplay / Plot features bike lane drama / How pedestrian) each focus on a different transportation mode and are placed at high-crash locations near cultural institutions and schools across the city.

The Bicycle Animation Video

Biking around today once again has reenforced that the only way to teach pedestrians to take account of cyclists is not to be mean, but not be polite either–it’s to scare the hell out of them. I whizz past as close to them as I can hoping they will jump in surprise, hold onto their fear, and return to their broad, safe, sidewalk. Today this failed, which made me think perhaps an air horn mounted to my handlebars would be fun. Of course, the internet has such a thing, but better–no need for compressed air, you can recharge it with your bike pump.

Or if you really want to contribute to NYC noise pollution, or a coronary, this one goes up to 120dB and still uses a hand pump.
