It’s summer in Melbourne, so I have a fitting message for my brother over at Melbournize, who’s preparing to enter Mikael’s Cycle Chic Contest (courtesy of Adrienne).
He’s about to embark on a ride with a date and his camera (I assume in that order ;-p), primarily aiming to tickle your cycle chic senses. He better [...]
A Shout Out To Melbournize
How’s This For Promotion!
From NBC Chicago:
An Oak Park man fell in love with the biking culture in the Netherlands and brought some home with him. For the first time in North America, you can get a De Fietsfabriek and go green with your commute.
My only note: why did they cut the last 20% of the chain guard off?? [...]
CPH Cycle Chic Peek
Soon after arrival in rainy Copenhagen, lunch and coffee, my generous cycle host Mikael and I set off on a tour around town.
Feeling right at home on the many bike lanes, albeit characteristically blue ones, we buzzed around each other like bees in a flower bed. Cameras at gun point, efficiently weaving through all the [...]
Biking In Portland, Part 4
Dave borrowed a Gorillapod and recorded another Bike To Work video. I really like the music he used (his own!), juxtaposing the many speedy down hill parts of his commute. The cars he trails are only good for showing us his reflection :-p, I spotted a Dutch bike on the bridge and it is ALWAYS [...]
Hang Loose
As of November 1 Dutch people on bikes are officially allowed to wear clip-on lights, or whatever you wanna call them. You know, when your bike lights are broken or missing in action. Which is the case with at least half of all bikes here.
Funny thing, this is in fact the result of companies filling [...]
A Texas Bike Ride
My friend and vlogger Susan, aka KityKity, was so kind to go on a bike ride and record it. That’s becoming quite a theme these days, huh? ;-p
We knew each other through that quaint group of vloggers that continue to conquer the world by leaps and bounds. Ok, ok, little steps. We had been in [...]
Foux Da Fa Fa
This music video of the HBO series ‘Flight of The Conchords’ (about 2 New Zealand artists’ living in the US) is just too damn funny, but you’ll also find out about the other reason I post this particular one…
Flight of the Conchords - Foux Da Fa Fa
More, I need more of these! Oh right, I [...]
ABCoustic Budapest
(As posted on VlogEurope)
Saturday was ‘Vlog Your ABC’ day, so to say. Five second snippets, in one way or another connecting letters that mattered to each person’s take on it. In teams of 3 we ventured into town, Raymond (The Boy King) hooked me up with Sigrid and Joel.
I thought I knew what I was [...]
Bicycle Paradise
Yanek from Bicyclog sent me his video of typical Yom Kippur celebrations in Tel Aviv:
“I’ve uploaded a video about Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) - Bicycle paradise.
I took it with my friend we traveled across the city Tel Aviv from the different spots. It was fun and amazing to see how different it can be [...]
Snippet
When you are like me, sitting on the couch all day…in other words, The Office, you frequently remind yourself it’s always healthy to find an excuse to go outside. In my particular case, that scenario always involves hopping on my bike.
I figured I could run an errand. Step one is making one up. Step two [...]
Bridging The Gaps
We all (at least you and I) like to see more people moving around on bicycles. All around the world the best invention on wheels of the century is experiencing an unprecedented come-back. ‘Normal cycling’ is gaining lots of traction, Northern-European bike manufacturers can hardly handle demand from overseas, local dealers are struggling to keep [...]
Jammin’ On My Opafiets
You remember/heard of Les & Helen from Ottawa, Canada, right? No? Ok, a short recap of what I posted before is in order then.
Les & Helen decided on spending their 2 weeks vacation cycling the Netherlands. In good spirits, and inspired by yours truly, they opted to leave their helmets, gear and mountain bikes at [...]
Double Dutch Parking
I never got around to doing the obvious stuff, like this. It was about time. I present you the floating bicycle parking garage at Amsterdam Central Station.
A Family Weekend On Texel
On the first weekend of July I visited my parents who were vacationing on the island of Texel with their grandkids. This treasure of the north of the lowlands is also excellent for cycling, so I took my bike on the train & ferry and oozed off for an unwinding long weekend. Check it out.
Go [...]
A Boy And His Bike
Hello, I’m Huub and I’m a big fan and now the first real contributor to Amsterdamize Bicycle TV. My 5 year old son Mattu took my Christiania bakfiets for a spin in the center of Wageningen today, which is in the east of the Netherlands. After that my other son Fedde joined us to go [...]
