ride against swine flu...

'Believe it or not, the Swine Flu scare has now affected the urban cycling movement. The Mexican government has made the organizers of the much anticipated 2o Congreso Nacional de Ciclismo Urbano postpone the event. This Urban Cycling Conference was set to run May 1st through 3rd, but is postponed until an undisclosed date. The Conference was initiated last year in Mexico City, and attracted Mexican cycling groups and government officials as well as activists from Spain, Chile, and the US. This year, it was planned for Mexico’s second largest city, Guadalajara, a city where planners have began making significant strides to improve the conditions and infrastructure for the thousands of resident cyclists. The inaugural year saw the formation of the Red Nacional de Ciclismo Urbano, or National Network of Urban Cycling with the express purpose of working to promote the bicycle as a major form of transportation. The Network was to reconvene and build off of the past year’s momentum to “make the bike a global movement.” Along with canceled workshops and events, Chris Carlsson, one of the founders of Critical Mass in San Francisco was due to speak. Ironically, one of the expressed goals of the conference is that an increased use of the bicycle would help combat health problems that are rampant in cities across the globe. The organizers are awaiting word from the Mexico’s Secretary of Health and the World Health Organization before they can announce the new date.'

Issue #14 Fashion: Rule of the Road
Central London, 5pm. Commuter hell is in full swing and the chaos of gridlock rules supreme. Cars hate buses, buses hate cars, and everyone hates that angry man in his shitty white van. But in amongst the spite and rage, the hush of pedal power is battling through. London’s bicycle messengers – addicted to speed and the scent of the road – risk life and limb to deliver on time. But this isn’t their day job. This is their life.

Swedish Designs
'You who do not appreciate this bike, or the looks of it, does not understand
the core of motorcycling, motorcycle technology or design of motorcycles.
Get a Harley engine and follow the given path of what is already in fashion
of bike builders and you are "home safe". Stellan does not follow any design
standards, he is breaking new grounds where no one thought possible.'
"Paul Crowe, The Kneeslider"

Falcon
One of the more interesting US custom builders is Falcon Motorcycles. This embryonic company has already established its credentials: it won the ‘Best Custom’ trophy at the Legend of the Motorcycle Concours last year. And now it’s announced a series of ten custom British motorcycles, named after varieties of the genus Falco. These bikes will be based on classic marques such as Velocette, Vincent, Ariel, BSA, Rudge, Norton and AJS. Probably not coming to a reality TV chopper show any time soon, and all the better for it.

Bicycle Flat, VMX Architects | Amsterdam
The 100 metre long bicycle flat at the Central Station was built to temporarily store thousands of bikes during the period that old bicycle-stands had to be removed during the large renovation of the surroundings at Central Station. The building was built over water to maximise land-use.

Acclaimed Dutch Designer: Marijn van der Poll
'There are a lot of Californian ‘beach bikes’ around these days. Exotic low riders in metallic paint. I used the rich Dutch cycling history to interpret the low-rider bicycle. The tubing, angular joints and black paint were used in a frame which is a loosely derived from chopper motorcycles. It is both a classic Dutch bicycle and a low-rider.' Marijn van der Poll
