On Saturday I was invited on a bicycle tour of gourmet shops around downtown Manhattan that was organized by a friend of a friend. One of the participants wore this Evel Knievel helmet which I thought was just way too cool for school. The age of the owner of this helmet that I coveted? Seven.
Now I know how new parents feel. I'm obsessed with my new bike. Here's another photo of me and my baby (snapped by Mariya who got her own lil ride too). Permanent smiles all day.
I got a new bike this weekend. It's a Linus Roadster Classic from Adeline Adeline located in Tribeca. Its name: Linus Richie. I spent all Sunday afternoon breaking it in along the Hudson River bike path from Battery Park all the way up to 125th Street.
While walking through the East Village after dinner last night, we spotted this mass of bicycles.
Uhm, I might have blogged these before, but whatever. Designed by Gijs Bakker these winged clips to prevent your pants from getting caught in the bike chain are cool enough to warrant a double post.
$18 here.

YMMV with some of the photos, but Velocouture is a Flickr pool of well dressed bicyclists, as well as some people wearing outfits that match their two-wheeled rides. As Kottke noted New York Times street fashion photographer Bill Cunningham also jumped on the velocouture trend as well.

This video montage of Danny MacAskill doing some expert level bicycling circulated around the Internet a few months back, but if you haven't seen it yet, check it out. He makes that wheelie you popped in the playground look woefully inadequate. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19zFlPah-o&fmt=18]
Alaskan Greg Matyas builds these custom fat tire bicycles for those that want to ride in the snow.
Relatedly, there's also fat tire beer.
This bicycle is a beast. That rear bucket can hold up to 40 gallons. Nick: This is the bike you needed when you had to truck that propane tank to your Brooklyn apartment!
I just came across this item, which is ancient by Internet standards, but this wooden tandem bike made by Jens Eichler is awesome...in theory. Not sure I'd ever be caught riding it.
Rick Polito for MAKE has a tutorial on how to camouflage your fancy bicycle by making it look ugly to protect it from thieves.
