A while back my road bike got stolen so I’ve been trying to piece together a new bike. I had a KHS Flite 100 track frame and fork lying around. I had originally bought the frame from a fellow Michiganderleno after another bike of mine got stolen (throw me a pity party). I built it […]
Tandem bicycles are cool. So are recumbents. As well are folding or collapsible bikes. But a collapsible tandem recumbent? Awesome! I peeped on this Bilenky tandem at the last Spoke(n) Art Ride.

It is unlike other amateur city bicycle races because there is almost no traffic. This race does not determine who can best find their way through a city, but rather, […]
We’ve got PUBLIC Bikes in Stock. Take a look for yourself. They are designed in San Fransisco. My favorite is the periwinkle blue one on the far left. It’s got internal gears, a Brooks saddle, a “mixte” geometry, stylish rear rack, and a lugged fork. They even “built in” a cable guide through the top […]
