I wish I knew what this was exactly

And I won’t pretend like I do (even after reading Prolly’s post and the comments that follow it). But I do know that this looks spectacular and that I want my bolts to be flushed just like they are here.

Fuji Classic Track bike

The Fuji Classic Track bike looks great and at $550 MSRP, it’s actually not a bad choice considering the price of other track bikes on the market (BikesDirect.com excluded of course). Beautiful!

AeroTech Evolution bicycle case

Core77 posted about the AeroTech Evolution hard-shell bike case today which looks like a pretty great thing to have if you’re constantly flying or traveling with your bicycle in tow.

The AeroTech Evolution can fit a disassembled bicycle very neatly in its padded interior with independent compartments for wheels and bike parts.

A guide to bike lanes in New York City

Streetsblog has a great video from the DOT that explains the different types of bike lanes available in different parts of New York City. I’ve been noticing a lot more bike lanes sprouting up around the city and I think it’s good to know just why those bike lanes were chosen for the street they inhabit.

Performa Brakeless Bike by Bertelli

October 17, 2009 @ 11:22 am

I just came across the Bertelli bicycle website and I recognized a few of the bikes from my adventures across the net. It turns out that many of the beautiful bikes I’ve been eyeing have been made by Bertelli but I wouldn’t have known that had I not come to this site because Bertelli Bikes does not brand their bicycles. In fact, I love how Bertelli jots down a list of Likes and Don’t Likes to get you up to date about what sort of bikes you should expect from the company.

Francesco, the owner of Bertelli (based in NYC), finishes, builds, and assembles each bike by hand. And the awesome thing is that he rides the bike around once it is finished to make sure that it is something he would be proud of giving away to a customer. If you’re interested in purchasing a bike from Bertelli, the starting price for a complete bike is $1500.

Check out some images of the Performa Brakeless Bike built by Bertelli Bikes below.
