On Bicycles

2012-01-08T12:28:00.003+08:00

'On Bicycles is a great little book of short essays about Bike culture, gear and hints and tips from a wide cast of cycling writers.
With subjects as diverse as safety, how to park your bike, choosing a style, cargo biking, E-bikes , hand made frames , choosing a bag , route planning, health, economics, attitude, bike culture and sub-cultures and political activism it has a little something for everyone.

It’s easy to dip in to and find something new and interesting no matter what kind of cyclist you are (or want to be) and will give you ideas on parts of bike culture you may not know so much about yet. It’s a well illustrated and nicely printed little book for the daily commuter and the first time rider alike.'

Amy Walker is the cofounder of Momentum magazine, in Vancouver; an informative, beautiful and very succesful urban cycling magazine.

The Holstee Manifesto

2012-01-06T12:00:00.002+08:00

'The Holstee Manifesto is a call to action to live a life full of intention, creativity, passion, and community.

The LifeCycle Film came about as a desire to bring the energy and passion behind the Manifesto to life through something we love--biking. As we seek to live mindful lifestyles that leave a positive impact on the people and world around us, biking has become a passion that is much more than a transportation alternative. It is a way of fully experiencing the city we love and all of its details.

This Film is a celebration. It is a celebration of gatherings, of diversity, of life, and of the beauty of shared experience.'

'An interactive collection of 100 bikes that have changed cycling history. From the suitcase-sized Skoot to the Gold-medal-winning Lotus Sport 110, from Tour de France road-bike classics to moving designs of breathtaking innovation, each bicycle is displayed in stunning clarity and technical detail. Users can spin every bike 360º and zoom into details up to 20x magnification to appreciate every component in this rich celebration of cycling culture and design.

Each bike is shown with an informative text that recounts its unique and fascinating story and multiple gallery-quality photographs, and in many instances also includes video clips, original brochures, contemporary advertising, engineering drawings, rare illustrations and links to manufactures' sites.'
