Be sure to keep an eye on the Mutiny site for daily updates and pics from their current trip.

A student from Sheffield has designed a cardboard bike to help reduce bike theft in the UK, while being inexpensive and “eco-friendly”. I don’t know how practical it is, but it looks pretty awesome, and I’m sure it was quite a deal to conquer.
On the other hand, I guess this is also the only way you can get your bike burned down.

There’s a dope little interview with Mike Aitken that was just posted on the Fit site.
Check it out here.

Dig has posted three bike checks with the Subrosa crew… Hoang Tran, Ryan Sher, and Eli Platt. Their bikes are looking hot and the photos and layout are great as well.

Even though filming is still in progress, Stew was kind enough to give us an update on Anthem 2.

Speaking of cycling… a lot of you know that our good friend and pillar of the Los Angeles cycling community Mike Vincent was hit by a car five months ago, and is on a long road to recovery from severe head injury. Leif Valin just sent me this flyer for a Mike Vincent benefit raffle that’s happening tomorrow at the legendary York Jam in PA.
I can’t say enough about Mike Vincent, his personality, his contributions to not just BMX but bicycling in general… thanks to Hoffman Bikes for donating this autographed Kevin Jones signature frame.

It’s interesting to think about the position we are all in with the current state of the economy, gas prices, etc. and the fact that most of us ride bikes every day. There have been many articles written about cycling and how it could “save the world” and I just came across another one on the Dwell blog about this issue. I thought it could be cool to get a conversation going here about riding bikes for transportation and was interested to see how many people are riding their bikes more to get around these days? I grew up with the idea you would drive to a spot or the park and then ride your bike, but I definitely feel like that’s changing and people are using BMX more for transportation. Let me know your thoughts!
