Carrying Big Stuff

A few weeks ago I had to pick up a spare bike box for shipping my friend's bike.
Thus far, this is the largest object I have moved on my CETMA rack. Fortunately it was empty, so steering was a breeze until the crosswinds hit me at every intersection.

Bike Parking in LA

When I first flew into LAX I came across this bike rack. Quite impressive, quite empty.





















A few days later around Venice Beach I locked up to this little guy, possibly the easiest bike parking for a city to install. Take the head off of an old school coin-fed parking meter and then slide a new bike rack over the existing pole. If your city is getting rid of its old parking meters, this is a great way to lobby for more bike parking. NYCDOT finally got on board with this method in the past few months.

Murder Mystery

I have no idea where the other half of that bike is. There wasn't nearly enough snow to hide it completely. The only other possible explanation is that the snow on the Lower East Side is so acidic that it can dissolve low grade steel.

Fresh Riding Photos Teaser
