The guys at Monkey Light are having a competition….

“This new bike light displays full color 8-bit patterns on bicycle wheels to keep cyclists safe at night. We are crowd sourcing the design of the patterns that will be included in our new Mini Monkey Light bike wheel light. We have asked people to submit designs for new patterns. We are accepting design submissions until our Kickstarter ends on October 29th.

So I’m walking along in the city today and I hear the song ”Low Rider” booming at max volume out of speakers from somewhere.  When I turned to the source see what the source of the music was, this is what I saw:

What a cute and innovative idea!  They even have a locator map to show you where the Rolling Wrench is currently located.  Check out their website:  http://rolling-wrench.com/index.php

Hand-made wooden bike shelf by UrbanCityBikeShelves on Etsy.com

I believe it was Meg that posted another bike shelf back in September–this piece is obviously similar in design, but comes in a lower price-point ($149 versus $270 for the Knife and Saw version). Both shelves come in Walnut, but UrbanCityBikeShelves also come in Maple and Cherry.

Living in New York where space is at such a premium, I’d love to try one of these shelves out. Sadly, living in a rail-roaded apartment means that pretty much every wall I have is too narrow to even lean a bike against! I’m also a bit skeptical that I’d knock everything off the shelf every time I grabbed my bike in a rush. Curious to see if any of you have had any experience with a similar product?

Hey its been ages since i’ve posted here , been soo busy ! sorry ;o

My friend Greg , Richard , Movie and I started the Glasgow Bike shed in july. Its a non profit organization where people donate old or unwanted bikes and we recycle them and their components. We run bike maintenance classes so people can learn how to fix and look after their own bikes and also take on volunteers who will eventually be put through their bike mechanics qualification after a week long course. Anyone can come in and use ours tools and stands to fix their own bike, we also have 2nd hand parts for very cheap that could replace the worn out parts of your bike  and if  anyone gets stuck we are there to help although we encourage people to do it themselves so they learn.  Its great for finding retro/vintage frames and parts and for somewhere to hang out . Its an amazing project ! everyone is very happy there… if your in glasgow fire down !
