truly, wheels when you want them...

unlike zipcar's mantra, bikes are wheels when you want them and for the best price ever, FREE!!! been riding my 10 speed a.k.a. "Lady Lavender" a lot and absolutely never change gears.... maybe laziness, maybe its that eerie sound it makes when i shift, or maybe i like a challenge.
Linus makes super cute bikes that are crazy affordable. Inspired by 50's & 60's french design. fenders are cute, but breaks are essential. i vote for the cream one on tops.

Contrail is a tool for developing bicycle communities. As you ride, contrail leaves a faint chalk line behind your bike. The goal is to encourage a new cycle of biking participation by allowing the biking community to leave a unique mark on the road and to reclaim this crucial shared space.
A few bicyclists ride with contrail a couple times per week --> faint lines on the road inspire curiosity and remind bikers where it's safe to ride --> new bikers are encouraged to ride and use contrail --> contrail lines get brighter as community grows.
