this is a blog about riding bikes designed for human bodies. i'm a sparsely educated enthusiast and i don't claim to be expert in any of the things i'm spouting off about. here are my credentials:

biking: i've commuted by bike with varying degrees of commitment since high school. for the last several years i'm finally riding year-round. rain pants, you are my hero! i've never owned my own car and i've never once driven myself to work.

ergonomics/biomechanics: i studied alexander technique for about a year (many many years ago). i have also learned a lot about body mechanics through trainings at work. finally, i am an upright biped.

i can't believe i forgot this bike!



day 6 should have been in my links section from day 1. now it's there. this is clipped from their website:





"The most important feature on a Day 6 bicycle is not an Italian derailleur measured in ounces or a Swiss-engineered racing hub - it's YOU. That inspiration led to a bicycle frame where each angle and measurement was designed to complement the human frame."

    ama - how do we attach trail-a-bikes to these?? their seat posts are at an angle, and so specialized. it doesn't seem possible. any suggestions?? also - still not getting notifications that you've posted...-aj

    amy jo - i've wondered about that myself, but since i don't have a trail-a-bike, i've never pursued it. i will now. i'm pretty sure any of the electras would easily accommodate one. i'll write a post if i get any responses from the bike companies.

    as to the updates, i still don't know what's up with that
