Papergirl Birmingham Events

Last year I wrote about the fantastic Papergirl project which began in Berlin. Well, after a lot of hard work and coordination by all involved Papergirl Birmingham will launch tomorrow April 24th with an event at Mailbox in Birmingham. And when an event promises free tea and cake and a screening of the film 'Roadworthy', how can you say no? Just to top it off you can ride right into the event!

Unfortunately I will miss the distribution day on Saturday but if you are around the Birmingham area you should definitely get involved.

The details are on the website and there is a facebook event for both tomorrow and Saturday.

The bikes of Siracusa

Some pictures of a few of the cool bikes we saw on a trip to Siracusa in Sicily.

Two generations of stylish cyclists

I went to Cambridge for a stag do over the weekend and amongst the drunken antics I was happy to see so many cyclists around. The whole place feels very European in its approach to cycling with all ages of people on bikes doing everyday things, and barely any Lycra. I'm still trying to figure out why cycling is so much further forward than other British cities in cycling uptake. It can't just be because it's flat.
