Photo credit Arvindgrover @ flickr. Never mind that it is hard to define what a “U.N. city” might be, nor why it would be so horrible. Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes said this week that Denver will soon become this unsavory thing, and it’s all due to those dang bicycles. Huh? Velophobia, which simmers in Colorado, now seems to be bursting out with Mae’s proclomation that a “bike agenda” will lead the state’s capital city to be a den of…… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Big wheeled bikes are very stable, due to the gyroscopic effect of the large wheel. But small wheeled bikes take up less space and are very manoeuvrable. The Lunartic is a bike design submitted for a Dyson Award that tries to combine the benefits of both. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via QuackMasterDan For anyone who wants to make sure they’re ultra-visible while riding their bike at night, this 10-step DIY project might be the ticket. Using electroluminescent wire — copper cabling coated in reactive paint that emits light when in contact with electricity — and an LED light strip, one crafty maker transformed a bike into a safe vehicle, mainly because everyone stops to stare as it rolls by. Check out more photos after the jump. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo credit A. Streeeter. This post is part of series written by TreeHugger contributors about trading in your car for a bike for trips that are two miles or less in distance. The series is sponsored by the Clif 2-Mile Challenge . Sometimes cyclists in their eagerness to spread the gospel of biking forget a few of the basics of human nature.

This oil painting by Vita Di Milano is from “Women and Wheels” dedicated, according to the artist, to “women’s freedom from the dogmas and the doctrines of religion.” Female cyclists have a hard enough time – we are generally a bit more safety-conscious and reticent when it comes to getting out on city streets , and the athletic among us who do fearlessly dive into bike racing and other cycling sports do so with less support or acknowledgment from the rest of the sporting world than men cyclists get.

The Fatwa Against Female Cyclists

There have even been checklists 50 items deep of ways you can use less oil. Before we act on that sentiment, (and let me be clear that we will be using less oil in the future, … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: Richard Masoner, Flickr Cycle commuting is apparently safer than not cycling to work. A Danish study assessing the health status of 30,000 people over a 14 year period found that, with all other factors being equal, simply cycling to work lowered the risk of death by 40%. Studies have indicated that cyclists have at least 15% lower absenteeism than non-cyclist workers, with the higher the frequency and longer the distance cycled, the

A high-performance bike from Boo Bicycles. Credit: Boo Bicycles Bamboo not only makes for beautiful bikes, it is one of the greener building materials we’ve got: It has a low CO2 footprint compared to aluminum and steel, is renewable, and even biodegradable (though hard to imagine how it would biodegrade with all those layers of lamination). Yes, bamboo isn’t perfect — often it comes with a big carbon footprint for transport — but these bike designers are taking bamboo to the heights of beauty a… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Lisa Anne Auerbach Libraries are going through existential crises these days as they try to figure out their role in a digital world. Meanwhile, cycling for fitness and transportation is growing in popularity. Therefore what could be more obvious than turning a library into a velodrome.
