The Xtracycle blender attachment is really cool and everything, but it doesn’t have anything on this hand-cranked snow-cone maker seen today in Plaza de Bolivar.

Bike-watching in Colombia
Some people like to bird-watch. They carry lists around and every time they see a bird they’ve never seen before, they add it to their “life list.”
Well I do that with cargo bikes. Is it so wrong?

Tucson bike lawyer, as my readers know, from time to time visits foreign locales to check out the bike scene there. Last year, for example, I spent two weeks in Mexico City trying to buy a three-wheeled ice bike.

20,000 people attend Budapest Critical Mass “Fashion ride”
So says Copenhagen Cycle Chic.
This Critical Mass had a less agro attitude than ours tend to — they stopped at lights, for example. I can hardly imagine what 20,000 riders must look like, but I’d sure like to see it some day.
Our own Tuesday Night Bike Ride had 215 riders this week, or about [...]
