Pre-orders for the BnC Suicidal rip off caps are going to close this coming Monday (July 6). Get in while the going’s good, I doubt there will be a second chance!
Spread the word, suckers.

From wired.com:
Fed up with seeing friends getting clipped by cars, the designers at Altitude combined two things we love — bikes and lasers — to create an instant bike lane and make nighttime cycling a whole lot safer.
Their bike-mounted gadget, called LightLane, beams two bright red lines and the universal symbol for cyclist on the pavement, neatly delineating a bike lane to remind motorists to yield a little space. It should make everyone feel a little more comfort on the road.

Inspiration for the Critical Mass’ers? Yep. A bee in the bonnet of Cog Cafe’s Damo prior to the ‘10 Aussie Singlespeed Nats?? Yep also. Timmy got me onto this link. The blurb for the ‘Stereo Bike Film’ reads as follows:
“Last summer in a rented garage on the outskirts of Queens, NY something incredible was happening. A group of imaginative tinkerers from Trinidad were working late into the nights creating something nobody had ever seen before: enormous stereo systems jury rigged onto ordinary bmx bikes. Traveling together, each behind the handlebars of his or her own massive homemade creation, they treat the neighborhood to an outrageous impromptu music and dance party on wheels. Directed by Randall Stevens, Made In Queens is a film celebrating America’s first stereobike crew”.

I have been attempting to make my claimed ‘need’ of a Sidehack legitimate. Initially, I tried the ‘cargo bike’ angle but Mish suggested panniers on my Steamroller would be better suited to grocery carrying duties. Ok, how ’bout for beer portage? Nope, my mates all live in a dry community. Again a ’NO’ from Mish. How could I get a hack across the line and into my stable? I racked my brain.. and then I found THIS. Vindication at last. A Hack instead of a pram? Yep. You bet ‘cha!

Ah.. another theft from Rotorburn.com. ….Muslauf, Slovenia. Worlds biggest velodrome? Nah, just a dirty big hydroelectric dam with the hugest banked corners. Makes Timmy’s bermed dam look kinda dull. This concrete industrial loop would suit me fine.. waaaAAAAaaay hard to hit the fence at speed. For more checkout http://www.muslauf.si/2009/06/hydroelectric-power-station-avce-fixed.html
