Biking

I wanted to write something about what follows for a long time but somehow it got lost in my long list of ideas for subjects. Luckily when cleaning up my folder I rediscovered it. It's all about the bicycle after the jump.

Achielle, retro styled combined with new technologies and 100% made in Belgium.

It isn't the first time that fashion or sports brands hook up with a bike manufacture. This time the collaboration is between Diesel and Pinarello. To me Diesel has always been a brand that does trend hopping. They are doing it again with this bike geared towards the single-speed/fixie crowd.

Only the Brave bike by Diesel - Pinarello.

Sometimes the thought "why does all the cool things always happen to be in the US" crosses my mind. If you thought that too with the Republic Bike article you are in luck as I discovered a Swedish company that basically does the same thing. They are based in Husqvarna...

Colorful customizable bikes from Sweden build by Bike by me.

One of the favorite things I like to do when I have some free time is biking. Belgium is a biking country, we have been doing it for ages but we aren't as known for it as our very vocal Dutch neighbors. Cycling is in our blood from birth :) The greatest cyclist ever calls Belgium his home. I'm talking about Eddy Merckx and his 525 wins. Eddy celebrated his 65th birthday a few days ago. This article is about expressing yourself on your bike through design and colors.
