City cycling news & opinions from WorkCycles in Amsterdam
  • Overhaul time: Why is My Bike Soooo Sloooow?
    henrys-own-nuvinci-workcycles-fr8-1My bike in the spring with the sludgy Hebie Chainglider still installed. I’m very happy to have a real, silent, frictionless Dutch chain case on my bike again. Still, I couldn’t believe that either the Chainglider or the filthy (but almost new) chain were really causing so much friction. Spinning the crank backwards the friction [...]
  • Damn Near Lost My Fr8 Bike
    p1-groceries-workcycles-fr8Reenactment of the scene of the crime that could have but didn’t happen… except that P1 is happy in this photo instead of P2 going full-on tantrum boneless. To cut to the chase I allllmost lost our beloved Workcycles Fr8 bike. In most every other alternate universe it would have been stolen. Monday morning I [...]
  • Racing Bikes at Workcycles? Really?!
    Baan wielrennen 2012-14The Workcycles crew, plus and minus some at the Amsterdam Velodrome. Is it still there Johan? Yeah really, seriously. A point I’ve been repeatedly hammering home over the years is that, in typical Dutch style, we just dig cycling in all it’s many flavors. Just because one gets around by bicycle doesn’t mean they can’t [...]
  • Amsterdam’s First Holiday Sale… @Workcycles!
    We always joke about how the Christmas sales and decorations and all that stuff come earlier every year. But now that I think about it I’ve been hearing this since my childhood so it can’t really be true. Even if the commercial exploitation of the holidays have been beginning just two days earlier each year [...]
  • Bikes on Dikes
    Aemstelhoeve bike camping trip 19The wife and kids are back from their hot and lazy summer in Japan so we’ve been working double time the last couple weeks to get some proper Dutch summer family activities it. And we’ve been thankfully lucky enough to (finally!) have good weather too. Our favorite weekend activity is, as I’ve previously written about, [...]
  • My Wicked New ANT “Road Bike”
    henryIn and of itself me getting a new bike shouldn’t be all that interesting to you. This particular story though has connections that make it worth telling. There’s the story of why Mike Flanigan of ANT built me a bike. There’s the story of how the plan for a family touring bike became a road/time-trial [...]
  • Sleeping on the Bike
    Henry P1 AmstelThere’s something about the rhythmic motion and sounds of cycling that lulls kids to sleep. My kids doze off in all manner of situations, some convenient and some rather unhandy. They’re obviously going to sleep on the way home in the evening from a long day out but climbing one handed several kilometers out of [...]
  • Bikes, Trains, Planes and Automobiles
    Workcycles-Fr8-delivery-brussels-4Bike transport is a constant challenge at Workcycles. People from all over the world mail, call, skype, tweet, facebook, flickr and visit to buy our special bikes but unless they live in the Netherlands actually getting that bike to them can be expensive. Customers are sometimes incredulous at what it costs to ship a utility [...]
  • Where’s Cargo?
    WhereMy friend and former colleague Alex in Vancouver sent this picture of a Workcycles Cargobike buried under a tasteless display of kickballs in a Whole Foods organic grocery store. Wouldn’t it be better to just ride it, or maybe loan/rent it to customers? Perhaps I’ll get flamed for my insensitivity toward the nation of Canadia [...]
