Ride Needed to Esteemed Frame Builders Haven
The rare but broken Eagle and I need to be at Tom Schoeniger's Forty One Thirty Inc bike building operation in Menlo Park at 10 am this Saturday. The fix shouldn't take more than an hour. If you have a truck I sure could use your help.
Plus it would give you a chance to see one of the top frame builders in America in the work environment he has designed so that each bike he carefully crafts is the product of a consciously directed meditation .In case you missed it, here are a couple samples of his work that can be found at his web: http://4130inc.com

The Architect Driving the NBG Bus Build Out
-
- Who is Ron Bishop?
How about a no limits powerhouse? When this guy talks people listen. Last summer, when he helped me with my ride, all the way from Oakland, he had people in far away Elko, NV and Salt Lake City queuing up to get in synch with my ride because of him. Now he's driving the build out of our 2010 SF to Boston support vehicle, the 40 foot bus that the John E Vision PR Agency bought for our ride. And things are starting the happen because of him!!
Here's a little more about the man the city of Oakland respects so much they made him, Mr Bicycle Oakland in a special ceremony where he received the "plaque" shown in the photo above.....

Will laptops be next?
How exciting!!
The regular way of producing light in a bike is by using a dynamo that is attached to one of the wheels. This dynamo is able to provide enough electricity to power a small bulb that illuminates our path.
Well, the same principle used by a dynamo that generates electricity is now taken by Dahon (the world’s largest manufacturer of folding bikes), to create a new device that allows users to recharge electronic gadgets while they are riding a bike. The device is attached to the dynamo and its name is “BioLogic FreeCharge”.
It has a battery that is charged with the power supplied from the dynamo. Then, you can recharge your gadgets by connecting them to the BioLogic FreeCharge and using a USB connector that comes with this device.
According to Dahon, the BioLogic FreeCharge will be available for sale in the first quarter of 2010 and will cost $99.
We guess this charger will be useful to those who usually use a bike as one of their regular means of transport because it will provide an easy way to keep some personal gadgets charged (for example: cell phones and MP3 players)
