The bike polo show that was announced to take place during last weekend’s VELOBerlin 2013 apparently had to be cancelled. What a shame – I bet it would have been quite a spectators‘ magnet. Those guys (and gals) doing the bike polo „Ballet of...
First (i.e. most important) things first: VELOBerlin explicitly does not want to be „an exhibition for bike sports“. It even sounded like they want to showcase all sorts of bicycles and bicycle-related aspects but bike sports. Too bad this statement,...
Unfortunately, I will not be able to you, directly from the show, the latest bike/-ing trends that will be presented on the upcoming VELOBerlin 2013: Conflicts of time are keeping me from staying in Berlin until next weekend when the exhibition is going to open. But I...
As follow-up to the most recent post, another footnote on the subject of Books & Bikes. At least from some distance it looks a little bit like a recumbent bike (and sounds like the mother of all pedelecs…), the so-called „bookinist“ by Nils...

Only one more month until VELO Berlin will open their gates again. And actually, the gates have been opened just enough to sneak a preview of the 20 runners up for the VELOBerlin Film Award 2013. It’s a rather … well … ecclectic selection, mixing...
Was in Utrecht, Holland, today – and have to say: I was flabbergasted. Speechless. Couldn’t believe my eyes. Yes, sure, we all know about the stereotypic Dutch person of just any age going just anywhere by comfortably upright positioned Holland bike....
The snow has melted, the rain that caused the super-fast melt seems to pause for a day (or at least some hours) – no excuse any longer to stay off the bike. No, really not: Only some exceptionally cool crystal-clear art sculptures are left here and there where...
I have been wondering all day whether it is pure coincidence that after seven years of feet-dragging, Dr. Eufemiano „Doping“ Fuentes has finally been ordered to court today. As today, of all days, is European Data Protection Day. Well, maybe a completely...
