The following news piece is from WNYC public radio talking about the growth bike shops in Brooklyn.
One of the first quotes from Pete Kocher of Ride Brooklyn is “A lot of signs pointed to this is a business that could succeed.” These “signs” are seen through research. Kocher may have just been lucky [...]
It seems like electric bikes or e-bikes have been getting a substantial amount of interest recently. Here in the suburbs of Detroit, we had a new e-bike shop pop up about a year ago. And, if you think about the economy of Detroit a year ago, that seems like it would have to have [...]
My friend over at m-bike.org gave a very nice synopsis of the strip “Frazz” created by Michigander, Jef Mallett. I thought it was worthy of a post as well:

Most builders that I talked to were positive about their year so far and were looking forward to the spring. [...]

I had heard the other day that Lance Armstrong had a bike (along with a few others too) that was stolen out of the back of his team truck at the Tour of California. This bike was a one of kind track bike, so I expected that it would be returned, [...]

I will be at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show this year. I’ll provide some updates and pictures from the show floor.
