These bikes are blowing up my internet. In a good way.

LEAVE IT ON THE ROAD: CUSTOM SPEEDVAGEN
Meet the bikes that two guys from Oregon will be riding 3,450 miles in 24 days to raise funds and awareness for the fight against colon cancer. Truly beautiful machines for an incredible cause.

They were crafted of steel by Sacha White and the Vanilla Workshop in Portland, OR. We would like to say a huge thank you to Sacha, the team at the Vanilla Workshop, Rapha and all of our component sponsors at Sugar Wheelworks, Enve, Chris King, SRAM, Continental and Quarq. We cannot wait to ride across the country on these machines.”

Brooklyn. Queens. A380 flybys. Rockaway tacos. Bike haters. Auto detritus. Watermelon juice. Robert Moses. 70 flat miles. Saturday!

Virtual supermarkets are popping up in subway stations in South Korea, where commuters can virtually shop for items while waiting for the train to come. Customers simply scan an item’s QR code using the free “Homeplus” app and can have it delivered to their doorstep before they even get home. Ranked as the 2nd most hard-working country in the world to Japan, South Korea is rewarding its workers with this timesaving gem.

The future!

Everything is becoming an abstraction.

Had a great, 70 mile ride with some new-ish folks yesterday. Ilya (RGA) organizes the ride along with Ben and Charles (VML). Group riding is somewhat different from my usual solo stuff…there’s more chatter (fun to talk about nerdy bike gear things with people for once), more stopping, more eating, more hammer-y moments. Anyway. It’s a thing I’d gladly do again.
