So… your roadways are a bit congested…?

Tuesday, 04 August 2009 20:10

This is a FLYKE and is an interesting trike as is… and then it leaves the ground! The wide stance, front-wheel drive and the over-arch on the front wheel are interesting to me.

Shimano Di2 Electronic Shifting

Sunday, 02 August 2009 15:15

I read Bikehugger… quite a lot actually; there are a lot a great issues there, most recently an article “First Impressions of Di2 – It’s Electric (Boogie Woogie)“. The marriage of a bamboo bike (Calfee) and electronic shifting is just eclectic enough to catch my eye! Now I had heard of the Shimano Di2 electronic shifting [...]
