How’s them apples? Seriously, though, it’s been known for a long time that biking benefits society in many ways, including economically, and that driving has the opposite effect. Nonetheless, some stats like this go a long way in getting the message across.

That’s what you call a DIY bike. Makes me think of that phrase “beauty’s in the eye of the beholder” for some reason. I ran across this cool bike with boots on Facebook.
Becky Striepe of sister sites Crafting a Green World and Eat Drink Better recently shared this sweet bicycle fabric with me. But, what I just realized is that it’s not just one bicycle fabric, it’s 199 of them! Apparently, the site Spoonflower was hosting a bicycle fabrics [...]
This post below by Copenhagenize is a really interesting one — it’s about bicycles and how they are linked to progress; subliminal reading of bicycle symbols and signs; and more. I can’t really do it better justice without reposting it in full, I think, so here’s the full piece:
Biking is the greenest way to go, seriously. So, the fast growth of bicycle sharing programs across the country is something that excites me. Plus, bicycling is just so damn fun and exciting anyway — who isn’t into it?
The Good News Today: London’s rather large bicycle sharing program, popularly called [...]
Here are three cool bicycling videos I thought you all might enjoy.
The first two are from bicycle lover and leader of Copenhagenize, from a trip he took to Brazil.
I think the third one is totally awesome and funny, I think, but if you are adverse [...]
I’m not sure, technically, if something can be DIY and crowdsourced, but those seemed like the best adjectives for this bike map for Moscow… other than Awesome!
Bicyclist, activist, and artist Anton Polsky has apparently triggered a ”movement to create a participatory, informal bicycle map for Moscow,” as Shriya Malhotra of Pattern Cities reports. In other words, [...]
How would you like to have a conference on a 7-person bike? Well, if that sounds like a dream conference, you might like to look into a job at Google.
The ConferenceBike it uses actually has its own website (conferencebike.com),.. a rather retro-looking website. As the website [...]
One of my favorite activism events: tons of people get together to ride their bicycles along the East or West coast to raise awareness about climate change, raise awareness about one of its best solutions — bicycling, and raise money for organizations promoting global warming and environmental action, especially bicycling. The event, if [...]
Love vintage bicycling outfits, and vintage bikes? Who doesn’t. Throw in some beautiful French countryside, old towns, and landmarks, and you’ve got a pretty beautiful bike ride (and video). Here’s a video ad for such a bike ride (love it):
Mikael Colville-Andersen of Copenhagenize, who shared the video above but is actually [...]
Of course, we are all familiar with bike racks for parking your bike and locking it up — they are in just about every city. But have you heard of or seen bike repair racks before? These are public racks with most of the tools you would need to fix a broken bike. [...]
Ever wish you had some car-free streets in your city or town? At least once or twice a week? More and more cities across the U.S. and across the world are getting them, with the temporary street closings (i.e. once a week or once a month) commonly referred to as ciclovias. In the [...]

Salvaged urban trees, to be specific. Masterworks Wood and Design takes on the fun, creative, and totally green work of turning salvaged urban trees into wooden bicycles — sweet-looking ones!
More via a video from Masterworks Wood and Design:
“The story of these bikes goes from the felling of [...]
Beijing’s planning a bike-sharing program that will give other top bike-sharing programs in the world a run for their money (as in, will be up there with the top bike-sharing programs in the world in size and scale).
Stations for the program have been “spotted being installed in the Dongcheng and Chaoyang [...]

Some top green living stories from the past couples weeks:
Support This Pedal-Powered Food Cart on Kickstarter!
A Cincinnati-based urban farm program has developed a cart for transporting fresh veggies to market.
In the wake of the urban farm movement, Permaganic Eco [...]
Copenhagenize, a tremendous bicycling blog based in… Copenhagen, recently posted four awesome bicycling videos (ads/commercials, basically). None of the videos are in English, but Copenhagenize’s Mikael Colville-Andersen took the time out of his day to translate them. They’re great advertisements for bicycling, I think, and most of them are just plain funny, too. [...]
I wrote on the uniting of three of the United States’ largest bicycle organizations last week (something I’m very excited about). The wonderful folks over at Streetsblog took the time to sit down and speak with Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists, and Jeff Miller, president of the Alliance for Biking & Walking, about [...]
