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.

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.

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.

Interesting, a 36-spoke rim with pairs of two spokes left out six
times. 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.

"The more I think about our US domestic transportation problems... the
more I see an increased role for the bicycle in American life. I am
convinced after riding bikes here in China, that it is a sensible,
economical and clean form of transportation that makes enormous good
sense."

Clearly they have not read your book.

I knew that he wasn't all bad.

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? If you're from 1971, that is...

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

Thanks for sharing, always nice to read about your adventures.
I use an Eastman Roadster for short rides at work here, maybe after 30 years
it'll be like one of those too.
