Trophy Bikes

CYCLISTS' DREAM this weekend as deadly motorists are forced to stay home or move at a safe speed! https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com//traffic-nightma/2798351/

AFTERMARKET hinge clamps? This one quickly jammed/ bent/ fell apart because it was made of aluminum + mystery metal it *barely* even stuck to a magnet. Hinge clamps HOLD YOUR B TOGETHER @trophybikes says: "Think Thrice before putting poorly-made aftermarket stuff on your well-made in London @bromptonbicycle !" @bromptonusa @brompton_sg @bromptonmafia @bromptonjunctionny

Winter Project: it would be better if this map was oriented so it the river was in the right place. Respectfully submitted. @fowissahickon @schuylkillbanks @bala.cynwyd

HIP HIP HOORAY for what we're truly missing TODAY, the 2020 Philly Bike Expo ! In the meantime, GO over to your bike(s) and just check out how amazing it (they...) is (are); when you think about how that machine can carry you and your stuff over the surface of the earth without (too much) fuss. Thanks, Bina and Simon and Steve and Mia and all the cast and crew and vendors of the PBE for a cool show. Here's to the 2021 Edition. mcget/trophybikesPHL See more

Regretshave a few/ Among the biggest was letting go this fast/comfortable /tiredyno'd / Carradiced / Brooks'd #claudbutlerbike set up by @viabicycle two yrs before the millennium. #ffd2020v #frenchfenderday1998 #frenchshifterday #simplex #capemaydyno1974

Um , the @cycling_embassy can show us how to engineer safe streets for cyclists and pedestrians. BUT NOin 5 years, it will be "inevitable" that after a motorist kills one of us, it will be our fault because we weren't wearing a transponder and using daytime running lights. This is the future the robot auto supremacists want. More #gaslighting from gee-whiz @nytimes car columnists. Buried lede: protected bike lanes work. Missing entirely: speed governors save lives. @transportationalternatives @nycmayor @bicyclecoalition @carsrcoffins

JUST A REMINDER: These three Philadelphians, by their refusal to speak out, SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP, and TRUMPISM. These people, the top Republicans in the Cit...y of Philadelphia, have been contacted repeatedly by email and telephone and asked to speak out against Trumpism, and all three have remained silent, NOW, when it matters. Phila. City Council member David OH (215-686-3452/53) Phila. City Council member Brian J. O'NEILL (215-686-3422/23) PA State Representative Martina WHITE (215-330-3711 / 717-787-6740) Let's NOT FORGET WHAT THEY ARE SUPPORTING (please share)

One More Garden. (One Less Car) All hail this Rodman St. resident who transformed 180 square feet of automobile storage into a lovely potted garden. @5thsq @planphilly @bicyclecoalition @phsgardening @southstreetwest

On this rainy day, it's OK to shed a tear for #GoreTex inventor Robert GORE; his breathable, waterproof fabric made being outside way better for cyclists, hikers, climbers and astronauts. RG's motto: "Jump in and see if you can swim." @goretexna @patagonia @showerspass @rei

REST in PEACE, Civia Cycles brand, makers of urban utility machines; our faithful @civiacycles HALSTED frontloader toted beer, PA gear (incl. the flash-frozen #sscxwc2013philly )and emergency pizza deliveries to the shop. Survivors include @surlybikes , @salsacycles and @allcitycycles . #brandswelove

Among the *many* differences between big-box assemblers and bike shop mechanics: We read manuals, not labels. @parktoolblue @walmart_sucks_ @bikeshapedobjects @bicycleretailer

Our compliments to THE CHEF! Cooking with the best ingredients blending into a delish @masibikes night-n-day machine.

WARNING: Reading + biking is in fact DANGEROUS; but this #thumbthing looks like it might make it a teeny bit safer certainly safer than texting + biking. Please DO NOT let us know how it worked out for you! #bookbikes @freelibrary #donttextanddrive folio-folio.com

We spotted a sticker on this @surlybikes FlatBarCrossCheck next to @quahogs Seafood Shack and this sketchy guy was loitering near it; stuck around till he split. @stoneharborlife @barrierislandbooksart

UPRIGHT CYCLISTS BRIGADE +1; thanks to some @somafab OXFORD bars, and @velo_orange Cork Grips. TIP: it can be fussy getting the length just right on those cable housings pin 'em down temporarily with some twist-ties from @lostbreadco Then you can step back and check if the arc is properly Apollonian! @bianchijapan @goldensectionfinder @visitgreecegr @ Devil's Pocket, Philadelphia

On this day in 1924: The bureaucrats in charge of what's now called the Ben Franklin Bridge established a long-lived policy of harshing on bicyclists-telling Jimmy Tester he couldn't pedal across before the Ben opened. @delawareriverwaterfront @bicyclecoalition

As @letourdefrance approaches we recall two of the greats: Merckx and Hinault. #thecannibal #thebadger @ Le Tour de France, Paris Here, they race across the window of TheCornerCo, Pine and Smedley Streets.
