The Bike Hanger concept looks good to me. Click image for more renderings.
Whoa. Bike rack for a motorcycle?! So good.

Just got this sweet Nice Ride MN poster this morning! The Parking Ramp C folks had coffee and cookies and stuff for their customer appreciation day event. Winning!
RIP. Ghost Bike Memorial at West River Parkway at the Franklin Avenue Bridge. Hit and run on November 12, 2011.
Mugshot Monday - “One on One Bicycle Studio” coffee mug with organic French Roast by B&W Java
So One on One is a coffee shop + bicycle shop + art studio. It’s near Ciceron HQ in downtown Minneapolis so I go there for a Dirty Chai or for lunch (they have really good soup and nice strong coffee).
The bike shop is pretty awesome. I’m not a bike nerd (yet), but the bike shop part looks really impressive to me. They have a great mix of new high-end bikes and sweet old bikes they’ve refurbished (like the low-rider bicycle in the photo). The guy in front of me today when I got a coffee was looking to browse their used parts selection.
The art gallery part currently has most if not all of the posters from this year’s Minneapolis Art Crank, which is cool for me because I totally missed that event. Be sure to take a peep at the impressive water bottle collection behind the counter up on the wall. Can you find the 1980s era cell phone water bottle?
You should check out One on One if you haven’t already. Cool spot.

We’ll be showing off this pimp ride, the Civia Halsted, at our booth at the Living Green Expo this weekend! Stop by and check it out.
*Sorry no free beer or cold press coffee samples from the cooler.
Just look at this bike, yo!
Self Balancing Unicycle: “Only” $1,499
Got registered and all set up for the Minneapolis Bike Tour on Sunday. Doing the short route with the family.
We definitely could use a bike-awareness campaign like LA’s, which reminds motorists to give cyclists three feet of clearance, in downtown Minneapolis.
Love this idea. When I was on a bike tour in rural Ireland — where the streets not only have no bike lanes, but don’t really have enough room for two lanes of cars — I noticed that the ONCOMING cars would move over so then the cars PASSING me had room to move over and give me 3 feet when passing. I was impressed (and relieved). They know the drill over there, and obviously they learned it through some kind of marketing or PSA like this.
Stolen Bike - $500 Reward - No Questions Asked (10th and C)
Some assmaster stole my custom made, heavy, rusty Bologna bike at 10th & C last night.
I’ll give anyone who returns it $500 cash, no questions asked.
I’ll also give $1k for the thief’s nads on a stick
Yes way.
Here are some photos (of the bike, not the nads) - http://twitpic.com/27e3a1 http://twitpic.com/27onqq
It’s a lot rustier now, and it has a black seat, black rubber oray grips, and riser bars.
It’s been passed on from generation to generation in my family for almost 3,000 years.
I’d really like to give it to my son some day.
And if you’re the thief, and you’re reading this, please give it back. I’ll give you the five hundred bucks.
Please.
If you don’t, I will call Dog the Bounty Hunter, Bobba Fett, and Bear Gryls, and they will have a 3 way, and that 3 way will produce a son, and that son will be raised by Tito Ortiz, and on his 18th birthday, he and I will come to your house, and f#ck your shit up.
Thank you for your time.
***update*** my friend has offered to show her boobs to anyone who finds my bike. So now it’s $500, and boobs, or get your ass kicked in 2029 by myself and the ultimate justice baby.
That is an awesome bike. Not surprised it received such an awesome reward post.
