Bombing Down Backroads on an ICE B1

Saturday, 04 September 2010 06:01

by Larry Varney Co-Editor, ‘BentRider Online First, a caveat: this is not a full-fledged review, but merely my first impressions of the ICE B1 bike.

Bird-free Zone

Friday, 03 September 2010 03:00

“Dragonfly” posted a great idea on ‘BROL a while back… a really inexpensive but very noticeable trike flag made from highly reflective “bird scare” tape and a little duct tape! I didn’t even know they made “bird scare” tape. Apparently gardeners and orchardists use it to keep birds from enjoying too much of their crop [...]

Urban Arrow

Thursday, 02 September 2010 01:00

A while ago, a design student named Wytze van Mansum presented us with the Cannondale Dutchess concept bike. This new project was to design an updated bakfiets; he calls his creation the “Urban Arrow”. See all the details, where we found them, at Bicycledesign.net→ I suspect a modernized, lightened, e-assisted, coverable (in the future it [...]
