Utility

Utrecht, The Netherlands: spied in an windswept shopping center on the fringes of that beautiful dutch city this ‘ute looks like it would tote all your wares, tools, kids whatever around town. This practical two-stroke truck just needs a boiler suited rider ready to get on with their job at hand.

It’s like a cross between a Ford F150 and a Can Am Spyder…

Going Dutch

The Netherlands: known for windmills, tulips, flatness and of course bicycles. A few days in Amsterdam one had to be wary of other roadway and path users, be they trams, cars, bikes or stoned visitors…

The ubiquitous dutch cyclist rides a plain black ‘sit-up-and-beg’ bike, usually slowed by a back-pedal brake. A healthy and efficient way to get about. Especially when the only hill is the occasional bump over a canal!

 

Utrecht is a beautiful city perched along a picturesque canal. A bicycle is a good speed to dawdle around here at the speed of the water easing through this idyllic setting.

 It was here that we saw a unique bike that would be sure to turn heads: a wooden framed item, complete with finely sanded frame, adjustable seat height and wooden mudguards. Velo du bois!

Quack-quack

Just back from vacation to Blighty… While I get back to some semblance of order here’s a moto-card I saw: an ink line watercoloured Triumph Thunderbird. Duck!

Marlon Shakespeare

a.k.a. Chopper, Twenty Second Century, graffiti scrawlin’ sky sufin’ dude from Mega City One. Or as we know this these days and splay framed, long forked, do-dad added, straight line only, peanut-tank’d moto from the hazy days of the sixties.
