We are very busy here with the spring rush of service bikes and don't have as much time to write blog posts. We do have two very big and juicy essays coming up but they will take some time as we polish them to withstand the hardest critique! Meanwhile we would like to show you around some of our favourite bike related sites on the Internet! https://dclxvi.org/chunk/ Classic bike punk stuff, this sites been around for a good while! Pretty much unchanged... http://www.myra-simon.com/bike/tips.html Myra VanInwegen's (mostly) personal bike site with interesting articles about all kinds of bike things. Lots of info about women's bikes. https://www.phred.org/~alex/kenkifer/www.kenkifer.com/
