Back at It Again
After a week of being sick then a week of my back temporarily giving out, I am back on my bike again.
Abandoned MBK catching fall leaves - but look at that excellent front rack!
Bike Badges
Collecting these would be a great hobby for someone interested in both type and bikes.
Self proclaimed ‘bike geek’ Jeffery Conner is certainly into the latter. A professor from Michigan, USA, Jeff’s been collecting bicycle head badges since 2000, starting with just three badges, his collection grew to over 800 in just 36 months. The slightly curved badges come from all over the world and Jeff has found almost every letter of the alphabet (he was just missing Q & X according to this article)
“There are symbols of freedom and speed – with wings and birds abounding – and also a debt to heraldic animals (serpents, lions and eagles, in particular), with ideas of strength and precision also conveyed in the designs.”
Last year London design agency, Carter Wong, produced a book collecting some of their favourite badges as a self-initiated project.
Imaging one of these flying in front of your trusty wheels!
Bike fishing, Amsterdam style photographed by Mary Lou Lannen Bosworth. The canals are apparently about three meters deep: one meter water, one meter mud, and one meter bikes with Amsterdam’s Water Authority fishing up between 12,000 to 15,000 bikes a year out of the city’s canals.
Shifting not as crisp as it has been? Maybe your barrel adjuster is broken...
