Brooks: Limited Edition Swallow Bicycle Saddle by Doug Black
Perhaps the world's most legendary manufacturer of bicycle saddles, Brooks England has been making them by hand since 1866. They recently released a limited run of their Swallow saddles exclusively for the 8th annual Bicycle Film Festival, which hits New York on 28 May 2008.
The Swallow is a racing saddle first patented in 1936. It's normally only available in black, brown and honey (the classic Brooks pallet), but this one comes in British racing green. It goes for $246, and Brooks will donate $100 to the festival for each purchase. Limited to 100, get one while to you can at the Brooks site.

Ride the City
To those who enjoy their status as breathing, sentient beings, riding a bicycle in New York City can be daunting. Aggressive taxis, delivery trucks and carelessly opened doors create a minefield that makes casual cyclists want to hang up their Schwinn. But New York can be safely navigated. Though it's painfully inferior to European cities, it does have a growing network of relatively safe...

Five Better Bike Racks
The bike rack is one of those urban features woefully in need of a redesign. Thanks to NYC DOT and Cooper-Hewitt, who joined forces in creating the City Racks Design Competition, New York just might continue to lead the way in making cities more bike-friendly. As many people have noticed, the city has been making great advances on behalf of the cyclist, adding miles...

Swobo Folsom Bike: Interview with Founder TIm Parr
After living in NYC for over ten years I finally started riding around the city on a bike this past spring. Of course, as these things go, I now have all sorts of opinions on the urban bike experience. While I'm now surveying all different bikes, the Folsom from Swobo is my new favorite. (Click image for detail.) The Folsom is like a featherweight...

The Bicycle Film Festival 2007
Mid-Bike Month NYC, we almost think the city should consider re-naming it Bicycle Film Festival month in honor of the event that was founded in New York seven years ago. The Bicycle Film Festival now tours 15 cities in the U.S. and around the world (props for adding Portland this year!) and it all starts today, 16 May 2007, in NYC. In addition to...

ELVS
ELVS (or Enhanced Light Visibility System) is a new line of tees by the New York brand Laek House. Hand-printed with reflective ink, the tees look pretty much like any other screen print (pictured, above left) until placed in direct light they light up with a brilliant white glow (pictured, above right) that's visible at least from 100 feet away. Using the same retro-reflective...

Bike Month NYC
Biking is always in style. As many of you may know, May is Bike Month NYC. Transportation Alternatives has organized tons of fun rides (Coney Island, Manhattan Evening, Bridge Battle 2, etc.) and biking events (Queens Borough President’s after-work snack, bike repair workshops, drawing the bicycle with Taliah Lempert, etc.). There is still time to get out your fixed gear bike and partake in...
