Real life bike utopia.

Yes this is even better than a custard Danish, this is the Danish pavilion built for the 2010 Shanghai world expo, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). It not only personifies the Danish way of life and their passion for the bicycle, they actually shipped over parts of their landmark for this pavilion (a rustic statue of the little mermaid). 
The pavilion is designed to be enjoyed by foot and bicycle, with 1500 city bikes greeting visitors, the never ending "infinity like" circulation path lets pedestrians and cyclist enjoy the space together with a difference in floor finish safely separating them. The idea of this coexistence between cyclist and the world is a perfect model for any major cities to combat traffic congestion and introduce green transportation and healthy living and this was built in 2010! Its unfortunate that Sydney is so far behind that our European friends. 
P.S check out the cool clip at the bottom of the concept development.

Bike Library: A novel idea..

These guys in London opened the first bicycle library in the world. And they housed it inside a double decker bus, you can relax and enjoy a good read on all thing bike related or you can borrow and test ride their bikes to see which will suit you best. From, city bikes, cargo bikes and fold bikes to the serious ubber cool fixes and mini velos they have it, the only thing they're missing is a coffee machine and they would be perfect parked in Hall St, Bondi Beach.

Richard "Hirsty" Hirst Photography

We are loving Richard "Hirsty" Hirst Photography at the moment, he's an eastern suburbs fella that has been taking 100's of photos around the eastern suburbs beaches from Maroubra to Bondi and everything in between, we love the dramatic styling of the photos and the quietness of it.

Its also great to see the diversity of the different beaches, bays and pools the eastern suburbs has to offer, sometimes when you live in Bondi you forget the beautiful spots just around the corner. Having lived in the eastern suburbs all my life and lived and moved from all these places it takes be back to my grommet days in Maroubra and adolescent teen days running a muck in Coogee and Clovelly. Here's a small sample of his work which is nothing to the shots he's got on his website www.hirsty.com.au.
