Etsy Finds: I Love to Ride My Bicycle
While the Tour de France continues to race on through the streets and mountains of France, I've become inspired to reconnect with my good old friend, Betty. That's my beautiful blue vintage Schwinn Challenger I used to ride everywhere back in the days when I lived in Philadelphia. For some reason, Betty didn …
Vote! WearableByDesign on her Victory Ride
We asked our readers to nominate their favorite bike-themed items in the comments of this post. Out of all the competition, WearableByDesign with her Harley Chic necklace garnered the most votes. Gears are hot — there's no denying the Steampunk aesthetic that unites those fueled by gasoline with those …
Vote! Which Bike Item is on a Roll?
Do you have what it takes to pedal your way up the steep inclines of French mountains for days on end? Are you brave in the face of such challenges as peeing in your bike shorts because there's no time to stop, blisters where the sun don't shine, and leg cramps that feel like you're giving birth out of your calf …
Etsy Finds: Bike Spinning Wheel
I just saw this wonderful spinning wheel — using a bike wheel! — by ford4him. My family has a sheep farm, and I once sheared a sheep, spun the wool (it was smelly), and knit a hat. Within a few days, I had lost it. Even though I miss that hat to this day, I think back on that time I spent sitting at a spinning wheel with fondness …
Etsy Finds: Ride your Bike
Reading about National Bike to Work Day (it's today!) got me wondering what bicycle-themed items Etsy had to offer these days. Father's Day is fast approaching and I need to find some bike nerd gear for my baby daddy. I'm posting this extra early this morning so you all have to time to pull your bike out of the …
National Bike to Work Day: May 16, 2008
Here in New York we've been having an unfortunate spring, as the past few weeks have brought us some yucky rain and surprisingly chilly temperatures. Note the discarded, busted umbrellas in the wind tunnel near the Etsy Labs:However, we're closing in on the outdoor season and the bikes are getting pulled …
Portland Custom Bike Culture
Bike culture in Portland is maybe the awesomest in the country! (Care to debate? Let it be known in the comments below!)We found this video on Youtube about a custom bike exhibit at the Portland airport and we were really excited to learn about Sweetpea Bikes, one of the only two female-run custom bike shops …
Spring Biking
There's nothing quite like getting the ol' bike out after a long winter's rest. I know that mine is currently sitting with a flat tire in the deserted hallway of my building, despondent at being so useless for many months. (Yes, my bike has a personality.) However, I'm going to fix her up, and get out there to enjoy the …
Handmade Weddings: A Last-Minute Article about My Last-Minute Wedding
One last real wedding to sneak into the Handmade Wedding Series! We were married last September in Virginia but procrastinated almost everything until maybe a month beforehand. Together we were working about 10,000 hours a week at Etsy and I was wearily navigating my way through the first trimester of …
Gift Ideas: Bike Buys!
My dad gets car accessories for the holidays, but I'm on the other end of the vehicular spectrum. Cyclists are way too easy to shop for. If you're not getting us six packs of seasonal brews, perhaps go for a handmade bicycle themed gift. Who doesn't like the wind in their hair?! Get stoked. Check out our bike inspired …
