STUFFE


GAZELLE
From the Bike Commuters Blog comes this nice video of Gazelle bicycles being made in 1925. I want one of their truing jigs, they look great...

SIN TITULO
Artist Cameron Stewart has been publishing "Sin Titulo", since June 2007. There are now 97 episodes of this complex plotted webcomic on line now. The art is a lovely duotone style, do have a look.

BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL
Who else could it be but Nedroid.com?

LATE BECAUSE YOU TOOK THE BIKE?
Maybe, but not for the reason you think;
"In truth the real reason I was late was that I couldn’t decide which bike to ride. But another small part was that I saw a friend out on the street and stopped to say hello. A real hello, replete with handshakes and well wishes. Which is something you really can’t do in an automobile."
It's from a nice editorial on Urban Velo. I really think this is one of the unstated benefits of travelling by bike, the fact that you're connected with your surroundings far more than you can be in a car.

BIKE TRAILER ROUNDUP
A new feature on the Bike Trailer Blog, this monthly article is a round up of bike trailer news from the preceding month. Well worth a read if you're interested in going beyond the capabilities of a standard bike with a rack, or just share my opinion that cargo bikes and trailers are cool.

What a great video. I love the way the frames are painted by just pouring the paint over them.

Also at 9:18, is that guy really assembling the bike by using his head as a hammer?
