Coming around to the Pioneer Square Art Walk next month. You should stop by this:
And then check out the Bicycle Alliance of Washington and their open house and alley party with photos of the Tour de France by Mike Hone. They’ll be pouring a special collaboration beer by Schooner Exact- so you know it’s going to be good.
Beryl Burton won titles across 4 different decades, from 1958 to 1986. Perhaps most memorably, she set a 12 hour time trial record that broke the men’s record and stood for 2 years – offering the fastest man in that event a liquorice allsort as she passed him on her way to glory.
On the international circuit, she won the women’s world road race championship in 1960 and 1967 and was runner-up in 1961. She specialised in individual pursuit on the track and was world champion five times, silver-medallist three times, and bronze a further three.
Domestically, she won a total of 72 RTTC Championships between 10 and 100 miles and was women’s Best British All Rounder for a quite amazing 25 consecutive years from 1959 to 1983.
Largely self-trained and self-funded, with her husband as mentor and mechanic, when asked why she pusher herself to such achievement, she apparently answered simply “because I love cycling”.
Here’s to Beryl for showing the lads how it’s done.

A poster by an anonymous artist from the 1890′s. Looks like a brakeless fixed gear rider to me, huh?

To those that put your haiku into the mix to win the steamy Bike Boys of Portland calendar- my thanks go out to you! It was hard to pick to be sure.
I’ll get right down to it. After much debate, the winner…

Movie posters in Russia leave far more to the imagination, particularly when you can’t read the language.
Thankfully these have been skillfully translated by Professor Larry Feinberg.
Title: Terminator
Russian Title: The Revolt of the Machines
Per Professor Feinberg:
TOP: I ‘m an odd fellow, a wind-up dummy, called Terminator 2. My head is made of tin. I get drunk on kerosene and ride my bike (1) very fast. I’m very handy with a pistol (2).
LOWER LEFT: I’m three arshins [about 7 ft.] tall. Inside I’m all wheels and springs.
LOWER RIGHT: I landed in a smithy (3) and smashed up my head.

Art Basel 2011 brought a lot of artists to Miami that have been involved with the Bicycle Film Festival over the years. It also brought Ms. Jen Whalen home to Miami to cover it. Check it out.
By assembling paper cutouts into the wheels of bicycles, London-based graphic designer Katy Beveridge
creates a zoetrope– the spinning devices that typically produce the illusion of a moving animation from a series of static pictures.
Interestingly, this zoetrope effect can only captured on film; to the naked eye, the movement of the wheels
occurs too quickly and is perceived as a blur. captured frame by frame, however, Beveridge’s snowflake-like designs
produce captivating animated visual effects that mimic bobbling gears, growing plumes, and other abstract forms.
So go get some paper, scissors, camera and your imagination hat and get outside today.
