Tiny Kids on Bikes in Snow, British Columbia

January 12, 2013 at 7:30 pm

From our PR person in British Columbia, Kim Herter:

“…I wanted to share a little video of my son and his pal, Daniel on their snow bikes — created by Daniel’s dad, Tim Van Driel. It’s a great little clip — mostly of Daniel (brown outfit), but some fun shots of my little guy, Theo, in orange. Daniel wore a little camera clipped to his helmet for some of it. We were at Cypress Mtn. — a 45 min drive from my house where there is NO snow so it’s pretty amazing to see how wintery it is up there on the local hills. 400cm+…”

Surf Rack On Bike

December 27, 2012 at 7:50 pm

Surfer Jeff and his homemade bike surf rack. He used a curved piece of scrap metal—can’t see it here, it’s on other side—covered with duct tape, strapped to side of bike. He can go from his house to the water all on his own power. No gasoline.

Danny MacAskill Rips San Francisco on His Bike

September 29, 2012 at 10:21 pm

https://youtube.com/watch?v=eIOsL8tumMU

“Danny MacAskill hits the streets of San Francisco and while the title may suggest some sort of adversarial relationship, Danny glides through the hilly terrain with a familiarity and effortless grace that would lead you to believe he’s lived there all his life. Launching off sidewalks and balancing along rails, he moves with uncanny precision. Danny also talks a little bit about his methodology when it comes to identifying and perfecting new tricks. So sit back and let the maestro of urban trials do his thing.”

Kevin Kelly’s 1300-mile Bike Trip

August 24, 2012 at 1:57 pm

Lloyd,

As a bookmaker and Pacific coaster you may enjoy this fast 60-page book I just made.

   I, and my 15-year-old son and nephew just rode our bicycles from Vancouver, Canada to San Francisco, hugging the coast the entire way. (We went on the Olympic pennisular side rather than through Seatlle.) Of course we rode down 1 in CA. We pedaled 1,300 miles in 26 days. It was hard work but a blast.

   Using Lightroom and Blurb I made a quick cool book of our journey and lessons learned, and am having some copies printed up for us. But with the push of a button I could make a PDF and free iPad ebook version for easy distribution.

   Take a look:

SunRay Kelley’s New Lightweight Electric Bike

July 19, 2012 at 5:06 am

Hi Lloyd,

This is the video link

to SunRay’s latest project. It is pretty cute. We are taking a trip to Seattle this week to get Ray the materials he needs to finish the sexy body shell for the SunRayzor.

SunRay just got a motorcycle wheel with a hub motor in it from this amazing designer builder Mark Gelbien and his company EnerTrac Corp. SunRay is conspiring to use this new hub motor to power a multi-person runabout electric vehicle. We will keep you posted on his progress.…

Love,

Bonnie

“Here is one of the better autophotos Degfrip has to offer, Ryan Worcester is the man, in this series of photos he shares some of the moments that bicycle riding, and the off beaten path have taken him.”

For my first encounter with Ratman and his naughty-named website, see:

Andrew Dickey: Unbelievable Trick Bike Riding

March 29, 2012 at 3:22 pm

I surfed in Santa Cruz in the 50s, on long balsa wood boards, and sans rubber suits. By the 70s, surfing had evolved mightily, with warm wetsuits, lightweight polyurethane foam boards, and acrobatic maneuvers. I remember meeting one of my 50s-era surfing pals, Rod Lundquist, in the 70s, for a cup of coffee in Santa Cruz, and in talking about the new surfers, he said, “You know, if we could have looked into the future back then, and seen these guys, we would have thought it was science fiction.” That’s the thought I get watching Australian Andrew Dickey here.

Thanks to Kevin Kelly
