Those of you who follow the Tour de France will know this character. It is of course the Red Devil who follows the tour each Summer and never fails to capture the media with his antics and cycling orientated contraptions. This is clearly not the Tour de France with snow about, but he is still up to his eccentric tricks even in winter.
This blog dedicated to cycles/bikes and the variety of uses they have around the world. Being a keen cyclist and having previously worked in a cycle shop it is only natural that my interest is reflected here.

Tricycle? No Bicycle!
At first sight this has all the makings of a tricycle, but on closer inspection it is a bicycle. A slight model on the old penny farthing I might add. All fun in the cycling world.

Not For Road Use
Well it goes, but doesn't look comfortable or practical. Also, trying to get a replacement tyre would be near on impossible! By the way, where's your helmet love!?

A Mountain Biker With A Death Wish
This may be a snapshot of this action, but to me I just want to know if he survived! Living on the edge seems to be many mountain bikers ambition, this is no exception.

An Interesting Concept Bike From The Specialized Bike Company
This concept bike certainly turns a few eyes and even more if used on the road. The design has an appeal although like most concept bikes ends up too extrovert and too expensive to become a marketable model. Mind you the money the Specialized Company have made means they have wads of disposiable income to invest in these kinds of ventures.

RevoPower Is Here For All 26" Wheeled Bicycles
This is called the RevoPower Wheel it turns your regular pedal powered bicycle into a Gas Powered Bicycle. It is a cheap and easy way to get about without the sweat and effort although it does defeat a big chunk of reasons for riding s abike in the first place! It consists of a 25cc two-stroke gas-powered engine and gears within the front wheel of a bicycle. This system can fit onto any 26" wheeled bike. Not bad!

A Bike For The Olympics?
I just like the idea of transforming the Olympic symbol into a bicycle that actually works from it, even with the right colour combination. Not too sure about whether is would compete in a an Olympic cycling discipline though.

A Children's Push Bike Made From Forest Wood
This is a push bike made from forest wood and specifically for. As the rider grows, the saddle can be raised. With four settings from 33 to 41 cm it works well for children up to the age of five years. It cost well over £300 and is made in Germany.

The Naked Rider
Not quite sure why this guy isn't wearing a helmet! Well you see strange things everyday but this is a sight for sore eyes, far better if it was a naked woman rider, but then I'm a bloke!

A Bicycle Designed For Doing The Rounds
This is a bit of cycling fun found today. Doing the rounds is exactly what this bicycle does. Going nowhere fast is literally what you see here. Well group exercise is what you would get if all the saddles were filled.

Cycling Policemen
It's a nice sight to see policemen on bicycles. Police presence is all it takes to stop trouble and with a bike creates a diffusing mode. No crash helmets though, not a good example, but I'm not in favour of compulsory helmets anyway for many reasons.
