Americans are riding bikes more than ever, yet cycling is still held up as some
sort of cultish hobby relegated to aggro dudes with messenger bags who live
and die by their fixed gears.

Michael Mandiberg developed a kit for making your bike super visible to car headlights with retroreflective vinyl tape!
It’s easy to apply, looks fly, and comes in several colors. I did up my ride too, check it out above in normal light and below
in flash (simulating headlights). The kit makes a great gift for your cycling friends and family members.

The North American Handmade Bicycle show was this past weekend, in Richmond, Virginia. The website for the event and their YouTube channel have some great coverage and some of the jawdropping bike builds that were on display there. Above, Sacha, from Vanilla Workshop, offers a tour of a bike he built for his young daughter. Inspired by roadster automobiles and WWII BMW motorcycles, the bike, with 26″ wheels, is designed to grow and be easily modified as his daughter grows. Really gorgeous, thoughtful work. [Thanks, Kate!]
