Vancouver’s Velo Vision: Safe Biking for All Ages from Streetfilms on Vimeo.
Great video from Streetfilms about biking on our west coast.
I am so proud of the awesome people at Dandyhorse Magazine and Steamwhistle for putting together this amazing video for the Attagirl song “Keep You”.
It’s the perfect combination of sounds and visuals, and there are bikes everywhere.

On Friday morning I propped my phone up on the rear rack of my bike and captured 16 minutes of morning bike commuters streaming westbound over the Prince Edward Viaduct. If you or someone you know traversed the Viaduct between 8:43 and 8:59 AM on Friday, you’re in this video. The Viaduct is one of [...]

Come on out for good bike riding and great frozen yogurt eating (and awesome people to do both with). START When: 1pm Where: Menchie’s (Annex location) 511 Bloor Street West 2nd DESTINATION Where: Gurt’s 283 [...]
As I mentioned when I posted photos from the Sweet Ride: Cupcake Edition on Sunday, I also took about 100 short videos during the ride, and have been editing them on my phone. I’m finally done, and was able to take 11 minutes of video down to 3.5, as well as pairing it with a [...]
This video taken during the finals of the Toronto BMX Jam at the Bike Show on the weekend is INSANE. Insanely good, but insane. I’m kind of mad I missed it.

Last night saw the 2012 edition of the Ice Bike Races (or Icycle Races) at Dufferin Grove Park. I was able to freeze off my fingers and toes taking 70+ video clips with my phone and have edited them into one 4 minute video of a lot of the action. I’ve coupled it with a [...]
Here’s what Ryan Van Duzer has to say about this journey: Duzer Duz Live.Love.Bike. I began this journey on the beaches of San Diego by quoting Helen Keller, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Well I’ve been on countless daring adventures but none quite like this. Instead of focusing on the [...]
How many of these factors exist in North America today? Outrageous number of pedestrian and cyclist fatalities – Check. Absurd amounts of public space dedicated to the movement and storage of private vehicles – Check. Oil and financial crises – Double Check. Public outcry – Check. Political will to change – Very Little. We’re seeing [...]
This past Saturday was Toronto’s first Tweed Ride. It was immensely successful (we estimated about 200 people showed up) and this will be an annual event. We kept hearing again and again how much fun everyone had and how they can’t wait until next fall when we do it all again (and hopefully bigger and [...]
True story. On my 15 minute walk to the dry cleaners today I passed four cargo bikes (three in use at the time), three bikes pulling trailers, a half-dozen bikes with child seats and countless bikes with baskets, crates and panniers.

Initially I assumed a “speed vest” was a vest that magically made you speedier. Thankfully, the actual speed vest is much different. Connecting to an off-the-shelf bicycle computer, the speed vest displays your current riding speed to drivers (and other cyclists) behind you. The idea is that motorists unfamiliar with driving around cyclists often misjudge [...]

This is 2 years old… but it’s new to me. The locking handlebar is an interesting concept but wouldn’t work with Toronto post and ring racks. The rear rack is too ‘futury’ and also quite useless. Quaint video though. Student graduation project at the TU Delft for Cannondale Design: Wytze van Mansum | vanmansum.nl Film: [...]
(For English subtitles click on the CC icon at the bottom of the video) In 1997, in San Andrés Itzapa in Guatemala, Maya Pedal Association began recycling scraps of bicycles into Bicimáquinas. Bicimáquinas are pedal-powered blenders, washing machines and threshing machines, eliminating the need for fuel and electricity. Pumps are also possible, and are capable [...]

She has spent over 21 years creating active communities where bicycling and walking are safe [...]
Everything about this, great. “Falling from high places.” Brilliant. Sure, it’s a lot of the same tricks he’s done before yet this is such a stunning setting. Enjoy.
This is pretty cool. I’ve seen a few other prototypes of rim mounted lights. Most are bright and flashy but seem to provide added visibility from the sides only. Also, TRON.
