rethink


I've been reconsidering the whole blogging thing. The publicness, the safety, the digital format etc.. I do so enjoy checking in on the blogs of others ( just a few) so perhaps I'll continue for a while yet.
A colleague turned up for a lunch date the other day on the most amazing bike I've seen in a long time! Reminiscent of something of long ago and yet up close something almost space age or rediscovered about it! I found a photo online but from the lack of info I'm guessing that its not
at all popular world wide which strangely endears it to me even more. I showed to a Jen who suggested I must be mad, and got similar laughs and responses from anyone I've showed it to so far, with the notable exception of the wunderboy Zigstar, who said cooool. So this is the Pedersen from Denmark designed by Mikael Pederson who patented his design in 1894. I'm going to test ride it today hopefully on the sunny streets of Newcastle Australia 2010.
