Bike Anatomy 101: Video



The soundtrack for this video was created by “bangin’ and clangin’ bike parts.” Not as sophisticated as the handlebar flute, but still cool.

Bicycle Repairman


A few weeks ago, Monty Python unleashed their official YouTube channel. They were sick of people posting Monty Python videos in sub-par quality. Here’s a great one from a while ago: bicycle repairman!

Knife Sharpener on a Bicycle

A few years ago I lived in China. My knives were kept sharp by a local man who would sing as he wheeled his cart around the town. In Banana Hill, Kenya, a man makes a living using his bicycle to sharpen knives.

Tough Luck for Toughy Drivers


This is fucked up: a bicyclist stops at a yellow light, and a driver, who wanted to go through the light, attacks the cyclist so hard that the cyclist loses a tooth! What’s more, a school field trip — one where the students were exploring surveillance cameras in public and private spaces — catches it on video.

When we’re on our tandem, I’m always being yelled at for running red lights, or some other such traffic violation. My theory: if you need to save your ass, and running a light (or, in this case, getting out of a “toughy’s” way) is part of preserving your existence, do it. Please don’t misunderstand — in no way am I condoning the action of this mentally unstable driver. Watch this video, spread it around. Most of all, if you are driving a motorized vehicle and there are bicycles on the road, give them a break. Most of them are riding to save you some gas. Instead of punching the bicyclists, you should be buying them a beer. (I know, I know, this is a wine site).
