The bike has dynamo lighting; the wiring has rubber insulation with a woven cotton outer casing. The bike also has a leather dress guard, and a single front bike that brake that consists of a rubber block that pushes down on the front tire. Pictured below is another bike that caught my interest, and is also from WWII.

Nothing portrays an image of the UK better than a British Bobby on a bicycle. Road safety is all about visibility, and believe me the police Very tall men always stand out in a crowd, but then so too do very small men who reach greatness. French rider Jean Robic was such a man; b Re-taping handlebars is one of those jobs that most cyclists have done many times. However, there has to be those out there doing it for the

I also rode bikes and raced on them and learned a great deal along the way, a slow gathering of knowledge over many years. Today with large corporations building bikes, there is not the same gathering of knowledge. Equipment is developed, and almost immediately becomes obsolete. Knowledge gathered is forgotten as they move on. Why do cyclists shave their legs? The only explanation you will this day ever need „I had high hopes for Dave Moulton’s bike blog, and I really enjoyed reading the first entries from the semi-legendary frame builder, but he’s been a little tardy with the updates. :)“ Wow I’m half a legend; how cool is that? The smiley face at the end did not go un-noticed but the word „Tardy“ cut a little. Tardy implies laziness; I may be a lot of things but not that. For a so

On this day, December 14, 2003, David Tesch passed away too soon at only 44 years old. I first met Dave early in 1982. I worked for Masi f Mark article on MSN Sanford, Governor of my adopted home state of South Carolina, signed a new bill into law yesterday, clarifying that cyclists have as mu

They could be right; they are professionals riding a bike all day, every day for a living. Trendy or not, riding a bike with no alternative means of stopping is not right for everyone. It doesn’t mean that anyone can jump on a brakeless fixed wheel bike with little or no experience, and ride safely in today’s traffic.

Dave’s Bike Blog has moved I have out grown this space here and so have moved over to Square Space, my new address is: www.davesbikeblog.squarespace.com I am still “Dave’s Bike Blog” but at Squarespace instead of Blogspot. Squarespace and Blogspot sounds like a couple of cartoon characters. An article on MSN Money Central began as follows: .“In four years, U.S. gas prices have doubled to more than $3.70 a gallon, and crude oil has tripled to around $125 a barrel. Allowing for inflation, that’s higher than prices were during the 1978–83 oil shock that triggered a recession and sky-high interest rates. But . . . What if gas cost $10 a gallon?

About aesthetics following from function: when you (Dave) are designing and building a bike, are you sure that there’s not something hidden in the back of your mind that makes you to make it look good to you? That is, you might add something to the function (objective/criteria) of the bike (it rides and it has to look good to me). Many people who ride road bikes do not race but simply ride for exercise and the pure pleasure of riding. Let’s face it you can burn just as many calories on any old bike, but if you make the experience pleasurable it is no longer a chore that exercise can become. If you ride a bike for pleasure, then why not ride a bike that is a I came across this California League Cycling Instructor’s bicycle safety video via Philadelphia Bicycle News. I had to smile at this quote:

Last year I gave the frames to Dave Yates for renovation, the Dave Davey as a track bike was simpler to restore, but I took the decision to equip the Dave Moulton with the newer Campag gear. The rear ends were increased to 130mm and new gear brazings fitted.

There was a discussion recently on Classic Rendezvous Bike list; the tread titled “Toe overlap even on good bikes,” implied that toe overlap was a design flaw and one should not expect to see this on quality bikes. Toe overlap is a result of other critical design factors and cannot always be avoided especially on smaller frames. If you own a vintage steel frame, chances are the rear brake cable is routed through braze-on cable guides along the top tube. Every time th Many local cyclists drive out there, then park and ride their bikes. I hate to do that on principal, plus we are a one-car family, so tying up the vehicle while I ride my bike would be a little selfish. I am excited about the Greenway Trail because for me it makes riding Chisolm a possibility during the week and not just weekends.

Dave Moulton said Patrick, I have no personal problem if the bike lane disappears, I will “take the lane” and not ride within five feet of a parked car. I am more concerned about the many inexperienced riders that ride the bridge, some on beach cruisers and rented bikes; they stopping is will ride close to parked cars with or without a bike lane. I felt an area marked “Door When I left the bike business in 1993 I took a job with a company that made bowling equipment. I designed metal furniture for bowling centers, also ball racks, and a ball return machine.

Bottom bracket drop is the measurement from the bicycl I received two emails last week with questions on framebuilding.

This made for some very squirrelly bikes being built in the 1970s, with 75 and 76 degree head angles and front wheels almost touching the down tube. Shorter chainstays to shorten the rear end of the bike were pretty much I forced myself to start cycling and commuting by bike again, ride their bikes despite the -30 to -40 temperatures, and although I haven’t been smiling (too painful with the frostbite) I’ve been content and grinning inside. Being on a bike, being outside, really does contribute to contentment and happiness, frostbite not withstanding. 2/19/2008 12:50

The Dave Moulton Track bike belongs to my self. Yes I did switch out the fork because along w/ riding on the track, I often ride it on the street and wanted a front brake for safety.

Italian cyclist Fausto Coppi was one of the most successful and popular cyclists of all time. Like Gino Bartali his career was interrupted by WWII; however, the big difference was, he was five years younger than Bartali; Coppi was 25 when war ended, Bartali was already past 30. His pre-war successes came early, he won his first Giro d’Italia in 1940 at age 20; to this day a million the A letter in which Albert Einstein dismissed the idea of God as the product of human weakness and the Bible as collection of honorable but „pretty childish“ stories, has sold at auction in London for more than US $400,000.
