Brooklyn by Bike

[Hey did you see we have new ride to Governors Island this Sunday at 1pm? Join us!]

I love the design of this bicycle basket – compact, colorful and functional. And at $75, it’s not a bad price point either.

The Pop-Up Bicycle Basket is designed to fit most bicycles, ship flat and be installed in either the front or rear of any bicycle. The baskets unique design and sturdy construction are fit for urban cycling and carrying purses, backpacks or shopping bags. [via MIO]

The beautifully designed Bikestation, a facility that provides secure bike parking, changing rooms, lockers, bike rental, bike repair and retail sales has opened in Washington DC.

It will be staffed 66 hours per week and available to members 24/7. The Bikestation location at Union Station allows commuters to take public transportation to the station, pick up their bicycles and go to work, shopping or entertainment. [via Bikestation]

NYC sure could use an equally stunning facility like this!
