About a month ago we had some below freezing weather here in Sunny Oregon. One morning on my commute to work via the bike trail I saw one crazy display of ice skating and biking in one. First of all I thought these dudes were crazy for even being out on the ice considering I saw water running in parts of the creek several hundred yards back but then I realized they were out on a bike. I had to stop and watch, I'd never seen anything like it.
The story behind the guys with the ice bike is cool as well. They all work at a place called Bike Friday where they make bikes right here in Eugene America. Not just any bikes either, they make bikes that fold up in a matter of seconds. They fold so well that you can jump right off one, fold it up, and hop on a bus, train, or subway. When you get to your stop you just fold your bike back out and off you go. Remember I told you I plan on boycotting gas stations withing the next decade? It's cool people like this that will make it possible for me. Next time you see me maybe I'll have my own Bike Friday.

Both of those videos were great. I think that folding bike is a little more up my ally the the fixed gear!
