Bikes

There are lots of benefits to cycling around town. You get everywhere faster, there's tons of places to lock up your bike, and riding around reminds me of hooning around the tough streets when I was kid.

One company that is doing amazing things with bikes is Wellington company Blanc Graphique. It is them who are getting the choice of the weekend award.

According to their Facebook blurb Blanc Graphique

...is a small company that rejuvenates and rebuilds bikes. We get beaten up old ten speeds, BMX's, and whatever retro potential you have lying around, strip them down, and turn them into shiny new eye candy so you don't have to.

Some of the bikes they have worked on look amazing! I especially like this little beauty .

Or this one:

Basically, I just love pretty much everything they do.

Can't you just imagine hooning around Wellington on one of these, racing down the hills (you have to have the downhill thrill with all the uphill hell), and arriving at work with the windswept hair that would rival Farrah Fawcett? No? Just me? Well, anyway... dig out that old vintage beauty you've had hiding at your parents place for the past five years, get Blanc Graphique to do a fix up job on it and you can also be cooler than cool.

Ooo and I hope everyone had a GRAND weekend, twas a biggie!
