: Vanmoof

By: g | October 9th, 2009 | 1 Comment » |

There’s one of those trendy design shops up the road with one of these in the window. Then I saw some guy ride down the road on one. Then I saw them on this interwebby thang. So I though it best to check into it, can’t be left behind you know.

Vanmoof, apparently is a redesign of a Dutch icon, I am guessing the basic urban commuter. Checking the [site] and there is not much about it, other than the specs, presented in a rather simple, clean site. What is sorta neat about this design, is in that insanely large top tube  is a inbuilt LED headlight.  In the flesh, the Vanmoof is odd, as that top tube really throws things but the build is clean.

A little urban yuppy? Fer sure. But is it any more so that all those try hards on the retro framed fixies? Prolly not…. and maybe even a little more cred. You decide.

: Break down bike

By: g | September 16th, 2009 | No Comments » |

Space is an issue and taking one’s bike to work or storing it in an apartment when it’s not in use can be a total pain.

Victor M. Aleman’s concept for a bike that breaks down, including the wheels is indeed interesting and very enticing. The idea could be just the thing to get more people to ride to work, if at their destination they, or their employer’s, do not have to worry about where to store the bikes (though I don’t like the chances of that ‘headtube’ doing anything useful).

: Porterbike

If you ride to work, think panniers suck, then Porterbike from Germany might be the thing for you.

Basically, they have designed a bike around the idea of integrating a carry case withing the frame. Not the first to use this idea but Porterbike seems to be taking the idea all the way through.

Interesting….

Not much of a site right now though [Porterbike]
