I feel like I must have first seen the work of Pete Dungey before I had started biking Boston’s notorious roads; I make this conjecture specifically because I don’t recall relating his Pothole Gardens to my own existence, but just considering it clever.
My poor old Fuji mixte is far beyond its prime, and has gotten to be downright rickety and a bit terrifying to ride. Given that the Fuji is in fact my former back-up bike, which I’ve been riding since demolishing the Puch Jack once built me, I’ve been spending some time scoping out affordable options for replacement.
It was in this search that I stumbled across Republic Bike, a company specializing in inexpensive, customizable builds featuring either their Plato (Dutch-style) or Aristotle (fixed/single-speed track) frames.
Poster Cabaret's bicycle themed posters in honor of National Bike Month
May is National Bike Month, and it’s Bike Week in Massachusetts – and UJC is for bicycle lovers. Sadly, we didn’t get any bicycle-themed projects done for the month (my bike itself is a project-and-a-half at the moment, a real Frankenbike) but, fortunately for everyone, Poster Cabaret is featuring a collection of bicycle prints at reasonable prices. Check them out, furnish your walls!
And, many thanks to lovely blog SFGirlByBay, from whence I got the Poster Cabaret tip – you really should go check her out, too.
Have you ridden your bike to work this week? If you’re in Boston, any plans to attend the Bike Week events or bike bash next week?
