I didn't see anything radical or outside the square but there was some beautiful bicycles on display. Especially in wood.
There's a simply stunning bike made in Ash with Kevlar reinforcements and Walnut inserts by Conner Cycles.
Check out the slideshow at Treehugger or pedal a bit further and look here.
Cycle safely won't you...

Pretty bikes, especially the top one. I used to make showshoes out of ash. It's a beautiful and strong wood.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs. I had a great time touring through the Treehugger site. Thanks for another great blog Keith.
