Recently, Basque architecture firm Arquimaña debuted the Openbike project, a 3D model of a bicycle that you can download, print, and assemble yourself. To get the #frame of the bike, you have to use the CNC machining process to create the plywood elements https://www.3dnatives.com/en/openbike-open-source-bike-011120214/

How to Light Your Bike with LED Strip Lights

Summer is officially here, and you know what that means: fun, fun, and more fun! Perhaps the best part of summer is that it’s the perfect time to break out your bike. Whether you’re already an official biker or you just enjoy taking a few occasional trips around town or to the park, this is the perfect time of year to trick out your bicycle with LED tape light. All you need are a few tools to bring a little light to your bike.

Step 1

Gather all your tools. You will need:

A bicycle

Sharp knife or scissors

(1) 12 volt LED tape light (use high output or standard) High output LED tape lights are about 3 times brighter than the standard strip lights. Standard strip lights work as well; it just depends on how bright you want your bike to be. Depending on the size of your bicycle you may need to use more than one spool of tape light.

8 AA batteries

12V battery case with on/off switch-This will keep batteries safe from elements and also easily keep the batteries for your strip lights charged.

Connectors

Zip ties- Use this to discretely secure the ends of your tape lights to the bicycle.

Black electrical tape-Use the electrical tape to conspicuously secure your battery pack to the bottom of your seat. You may also use zip ties with the tape for extra security.

Step 2

Let’s begin by testing your lights. To test your strip lights simply remove them from their packaging. Place batteries inside of battery pack then attach the strip light to the connector with wiring. Connect the wiring to battery pack with the positive and negative terminals respectively. Lights should illuminate. If this does not work simply detach strip lights from the connector and flip over. Once connected, it should look like the picture below.

Step 3

Once the lights have been tested, choose the parts of your bicycle where you would like to add your lights. We suggest the frame, seat post, seat collar, and handle bars. If you’re wanting to go with more subdued lighting, consider illuminating only the frame.

Step 4

Next, measure the length of each part and section the tape light into strips of the same length (one segment for each part). Use the knife or scissors to cut the tape light closest to where the division markers are inscribed on the tape. Do not cut while power is applied.

Step 5

Once you’ve cut the tape light for the appropriate areas, simply remove adhesive back of the tape lights and place on appropriate sections of the bicycle.

Step 6

Now that you have everything in place, it is important to secure your connections. To do this simply secure the twist ties to the ends of each section where the strip lights have been placed.

Step 7

Once strips are secure, connect the red (positive) wire from your battery case to the red wire hanging from your lights. Repeat this step with the negative (black) wires. Be certain that you have a good connection. For a better connection, you may try and solder connections.

Step 8

Now that everything is secured, you will need to find someplace to put your battery case. We suggest a discrete location such as to the back of the bike, underneath the seat and seat post. Secure the battery pack underneath the seat using electrical tape. For additional security, lock the battery pack in place using zip ties.

Step 9

Now it’s finally time to illuminate! Turn the battery pack switch on! Your LEDs should be fully illuminating.

Hopefully this helps you illuminate your biking experience. If you want to learn more about tape lights before committing to purchase standard or high output lights, feel free to check out our tape lighting guide.

It’s been a week since our third issue “Bike Liberation” launched. And honestly, this week has made it difficult to talk about it when I really want to burn it all down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we mourn and continue to seek justice for Breonna Taylor, I’m reminding myself not to cave into apathy and dismay. That would be too easy and resistance is a long road. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m also reminded that we must keep pedaling and seek to dismantle the policies and establishments that uphold the systems that allows the injustices of white supremacy and patriarchy to prevail. We must continue to create spaces and tables for us, by us, and work towards challenging a future where white supremacy, colonization, and patriarchy are non existent - that work starts inside each of us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am not perfect and do not have all the answers so please do not put me on a pedal stool. I am always learning and I promise you alI that I will do what it takes to keep our message radical and to kill the cop in my head and burn the fucking system down so you can breath.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I encourage you all to carry THEIR NAMES with you when you ride, say them with every breath as you exhale and pedal. We must not fail them and future generations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This issue means more to us than you can imagine, the collaboration, words, stories, and purpose behind it means something. Your support for this zine goes to building our tables and supporting BIPOC communities in need of funding. This one particularly goes to building a BIPOC event for us, by us. 10% of all our zine sales go to supporting a BIPOC bike led org. This work means more than zines, it means building what we need after we burn the shit that doesn’t serve us down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyclistazine #bikeriotnotquiet #bipoccyclist #resistance #shredthepartriarchy #zine #zines #bikezines #diybikes #decolonizebikes #bipoczine #diybikeculture #ourbikesourstories #bikeliberation #bikesforjustice #ride4justice https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkFUJsHy15/?utm_medium=tumblr

Monster “G” Pinarello MTB Gravel Bike Build.  Total mouthful of a description here but what I’m trying to say is that I took a mountain bike frame and built up a gravel bike around it.  In short it’s a bike with the DNA of a mountain bike and the speed/agility of a gravel bike.  Go anywhere.  Well almost.  The other day I was told to turn back on a gnarly single track trail that apparently turned nasty and needed full suspension with MAX fork travel.  So ok almost anywhere!  In town tear it up like you’re a teenager.  On the road rip it.  On the trail send it.  I love this bike!!!  See the entire story over at www.gravelcrush.bike

Cyclista Zine Issue 3 is out tomorrow! Here’s a sneak peak 📓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In collaboration with @Pedal2ThePeople we are excited to announce our third issue “Bike Liberation”. For this 3rd issue, we are sharing stories, visual art, photography, poetry, and essays all related to the current liberation movement and bikes - with ass kicking earthquaking content!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This issue was put on hold while the cycling community started coming together during a pandemic to provide diy aid and then the movement to support Black Lives Matter erupted. During all this we held a campaign to #changethename of the DK gravel race (we are still waiting for this change) all while holding this industry and our communities accountable to do more to be inclusive and equitable (you still have work to do). This zine morphed into something I couldn’t predict, as the year threw in some challenges for us all. I’m super proud of this issue and our campaigns despite them taking over my life for the last few months and am so proud and overjoyed by the sheer boundless talent, solidarity, and friendship of all the wonderful contributors and collaborators who made this possible! ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we felt that promoting zines was unnecessary during all this, we also felt is was more important than ever to amplify our friends, offer tools, and hope.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We dedicate this issue to the lives lost by police violence and hope the voices in these pages will give you much to think about what more you can do to support Black lives in cycling, outdoors, in life and the liberation movement⁣. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep your eyes peeled for this drop tomorrow 💌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyclistazine #bikeriotnotquiet #bipoccyclist #resistance #shredthepartriarchy #zine #zines #bikezines #diybikes #decolonizebikes #bipoczine #diybikeculture #ourbikesourstories #bikeliberation #bikesforjustice #ride4justice https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQIAj4pT7K/?utm_medium=tumblr
