When I was in Denmark 10 years ago, Copenhagen’s rental fleet of bicycles had wheel covers with Pepsi logos on them, and riding them through the city at all hours of the night is one of my fondest memories! Like ‘Velib‘ in Paris, there were stations throughout the city center where you could pick up and return these bikes 24 hours a day.  (Below is an example of one of Copenhagen’s rental bikes.  You can read more about them here, the city bike page, or here, eurocheapo.)

Well, M.I.T. (Massachussetts Institute of Technology) is working to set up a live-time route network in Copenhagen using SmartBiking…  With MIT’s wheel/computer system, cyclists will be able to interact with other folks along their route, and there is even a Facebook application.  Check out MIT’s news blurb here or you can read the GOOD Blog here.  (Note: the GOOD Blog as some other interesting cycling-related articles, too – from helmet studies and bike lane failure to Ghost Bikes and Santa Monica’s own Crimanimalz…)

This article was on the MSN home page today… ‘Here to There’.

Not sure if you guys have ever seen me perform!

Here is the new fork by Volume that allows all their Track bikes in every size to do bar-spins!
