Nice Ride 2011

Nice Ride Minnesota installed three bicycle sharing stations in North Minneapolis in July of last year and will be installing up to eight additional stations this spring as part of its expansion program. Nice Ride’s first year of operation (June to November 2010) was successful, according to Bill Dossett, Nice Ride Minnesota’s executive director. Dossett explained that the Nice Ride system is most cost effective for users when they become annual subscribers. “During our first season, a total of 1,295 annual subscriptions were purchased, and with 65 stations around the city, over 100,000 bike trips were taken.”

The Trans Iowa V7

Check it out!  The Trans Iowa V7 will be held April 23-24 2011.  Think of it as a 300+ mile bike race on the scenic gravel backroads of Iowa, starting and finishing in Grinnell, IA.  Oh yea, the winner last year did it in 25 hours.

MonkeyLectric – Revolutionary Bicycle Lighting

Check out these two sweet LED spoke light videos!  Quite the pricey set of lights, but BA.  Just think of the capability in advertising this could create if it were more economical.  Pretty impressive…

Music Video, Kings & Queens

Kind of a sweet video from 30 Seconds To Mars.  By no means a band that is repeatedly played on my iPod, but a cool video nonetheless.  It has some sweet bikes that lead into my next post…

Some of the sexiest, most detailed bikes you can find.

If you haven’t already, check out Vanilla Bicycles.  Handcrafted in Portland, OR (#2 bike city in the country).  Admire their gorgeous bikes, attention to detail, and then sit back and think about how sweet it would be to tell your friends you were on a 5+ year waiting list just to be able to own it.

Are you going?

Ain’t it the truth
