The Bikes of China
Just thought I'd tell people that, since I've gone and gotten myself a
digital camera I can now post pictures of some of the interesting things I see on the road on a regular basis and have put them up in a journal at crazyguyonabike. http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/journal/flyingpigeon Eventually I hope to include some of the more intriguing so-called bike lane like structures (especially the bits where the busses are routed in), as well as a lot more pictures. For contrast it includes everything from the anti-clipless tricycle pedal to the $3000 carbon bike one of my friends rides. And Arrigo's Bianchi, which doesn't really count as Chinese since, of the four countries it was purchased in, none of them are China and the rider isn't Chinese, but the bike is _in_ China so that will have to do. -M |

I want to see as many Chinese city bikes as possible. Especially
Flying Pigeon. |

It's interesting that you took a picture of an "Olympic" brand bicycle.
I wonder if the IOC has the guts to sue them in preparation for the next symmer olympics. Being in a country that doesn't recognize intellectual property rights they might make out better than the poor fellow in Atlanta who had to change the name of his pizza parlor from "Olympic pizza" despite being a naturalized Greek. |

Who is producing this bicycle and what sort of customers by it. I can't make out what that logo says and what that web site is. Jobst Brandt |

A welded quill stem with a faceplated clamp for the bars, old-style non-aero brakes with safety levers, quarter-fenders front and rear; what's not to like?

I'm really enjoying your site. Great pictures. I've been amazed how well wheels work, all my life. Even sometimes when they barely turn. I'm not just referring to bicycle wheels. Keep up the great work, John |

I use an Eastman Roadster for short rides at work here, maybe after 30 years it'll be like one of those too. |
