Crap Cycle Lanes - true tales of strange bicycle signage

I want to get this book!

Dozens of pictures of ridiculous bicycle-related signs, bike lanes that go nowhere, or around in circles. It's real stuff!

Just can't figure out what some of those architects and engineers were thinking when designing some of this stuff. Wacky!

Cargo and fun bikes

Someone sent me these pictures lately. I have no idea where they are from.

I'm guessing that the bottle bike picture was taken somewhere in Asia, although I haven't been able to find the source yet.

I think it's a very creative use of a bicycle, but I wonder where do all of those bottles end up? A recycling facility? Bottling factory? It would be a strange sight in our city, probably get ticketed by police.

Nevertheless, it proves how necessity is truly the mother of invention.






This photo looks like something you'd find at Burning Man. A beach-style cruiser that looks homemade. Comfortable enough for the dude to drink a beer while riding. Ah, life on the playa.

Geez, I'd like to know where these people live! Looks like a pretty relaxing ride. If only we could by-pass the cold and snow here!

A snowy Thanksgiving weekend

OK, it's officially winter here. Got some snow Friday and yesterday. Pretty cold outside.

We're taking the weekend off to finally do some much needed relaxing at a cabin, not too far from home. Pretty quiet here. Nice little cabin. Smaller than our livingroom, but heated and very cozy. Not many people here at all. Can't blame them. It's been pretty cold past two days. Not so bad today, though.

If you've never camped in late fall, you don't know what you're missing. The fall colors are amazing, despite the snow and wind chill. As long as you're prepared for the weather, it's actually very nice and peaceful.

Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow) to all of our Canadian friends and family at home and abroad.
