Bikes have come a long way in their history. It wasn't all that long ago that all bikes were carefully crafted by the hands of a skilled frame builder. Now a days, most bikes roll off a production line much like cars.. It is warming to know there are still some who tinker away in their workshops creating and innovating. 
This weekend happens to be a celebration of some of the best of these handmade treasures at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Denver, Colorado.
Head over to the link to see some of the amazing craftsmanship.

I had heard about bike share many years ago as it was piloting in several cities. The first time I actually witnessed it was in Montreal two years ago. Awesome! Bixi everywhere the eye could see. It was great to see how the actual design of the bikes was carried out and will certainly be interesting to see the bike share bikes of tomorrow.
I came across this in my interweb travels today. It sparked my love of design, and here it is for you.
