Postcard greetings from afar

No matter where in the world those of us who write the blog end up, you can be sure we are looking out for bikes.

CTX is currently "out of the office" and traveling around Mexico. Being that I'm busy being a tourist and all that, I will keep this brief.

Enjoy the holidays with your loved ones, chosen or otherwise, and take in the amazing potential of this new year.

My holiday postcard to you and yours is this lovely wooden bike display seen outside a flower shop in Mexico City. Enjoy!

Arthursday: Derek Deal

"Share the road" poster by Derek Deal:

where does it all end?

furthering the dream

unwrap this.



we started here:



where oh where does the rabbit hole go?

please hug someone you love today

i was going to unfold the inception further today, but instead, in light of today's rather shocking and rather unfathomable news, i'll just post this picture instead found on neatorama. and please hug a kid, or someone you love, today.

Arthursday: from Brasil.

Juliano Lopes is a Brazilian artist based in Porto Alegre, Brasil.
Green bike and a bell, something many can relate to universally.
His illustrations are quite simple yet very lively.

foto inception series

why is this photo so close in on ade? and what are all those post-its behind her? and what is that helmet doing on her chest since one is rarely on her head?

all this answered, and more, or maybe not answered, soon.

Arthursday: Bicycle Film Festival 2012 Compliation

i've got video making on the brain lately. as such, i wandered to youtube/vimeo to see what i could find for today's edition of Arthursday.

here's a compliation of the submission to the bicycle film festival. we've talked about films we've seen there on the blog before. check it out if you are in a city where it is showing (it travels around the globe). last time i went to the festival, i heard the organizer said he's tired of coming to SF cause the gospel of the bike is already spoken. (hint: that doesn't mean you shouldn't show films here!)

either way, this is a nice compilation of bikes on film, digital or otherwise, a medium we rather love. enjoy!

stolen bike alert: workcycle

Hi There, [...]
I had just gotten my first got my Workcycles cargo bike (2 years ago) to haul around my youngest kids on a daily basis. It was stolen this past Friday and I was wondering if you could possibly pass the word around. I really appreciate it and I am just trying to get the word out there and hope it turns up. I have it listed here: http://www.stolenbicycleregistry.com/showbike.php?oid=17298
Thanks! Jeanette

Adrienne posted about it on a ferry bldg. sighting about 2 years ago:
