View Article  Cars-R-Coffins opens coffee shop for cyclists

You've probably seen the Cars-R-Coffins logo -- a black coffin on four wheels with the license plate 666.

Earlier this month, Cars R Coffins got into the business of  peddling coffee to cyclists. ...   more »

I've often been accused of being a bicycling Luddite. I'm the last cyclist on my block to use integrated brake-handle shifters, aerodynamic helmet, Kevlar tires (what's wrong with Mr. Tuffies?), aero rims, etc.

View Article  Recycling used bike parts into useful items

It takes lots of imagination and artistic flair to find new uses for old bicycle parts. Graham Bergh at Resource Revival and his staff must have a limitless supply of both.
