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! 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: Adventures with Dad
Growing up, my dad would always take my brothers and me on great outdoor adventures.

Think about giving your dad an …

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.

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 …
Etsy Finds: Where Birds and Bikes Collide
In my secret side life, I fancy myself something of an ornithologist. I spend many a nerdy hour sweatily poring over beautiful old Audubon books and peeping at the pigeons in my square of Brooklyn backyard. Another secret pastime of mine is biking. Most mornings, I pedal off on long rides to Prospect Park to …
Uh, oh.... it looked like it didn't take my comment ...
