Commuter wars continue

It really is strange, the bikes people decide to commute on.

Some more logos

At the risk of turning this into an old bike logo blog, here's a few more I can't resist posting.



I here swear that any bicycle I ever make is going to have some kickin' rad decals on it.

A nice badge for an old Hermes bicycle

I really do like the older bicycle badges.
They have more sense of occasion about them.


From the times when a new bicycle might actually matter to most people.

Long live this Hermes bicycle.

The very hybrid bike

Decent city bike make a lot of sense to me, they offer the average commuter a good vehicle to get around on. The term hybrid though does usually seem to be applied to bicycles offering a poor compromise between a proper city bike and a mountain bike. But then today I spotted this, which is pushing that compromise in quite a different direction.
As it includes alongside the usual comfy bar grips, hub gears, rack and fenders, the sort of aero cut out...
...usually only seen on a time trial bike.

I guess in the rush hour races of the commuters, this is a new step in the arms race.
