A Bamboo Bike of a different breed
With bikes heading to France, Switzerland, the Netherlands and a bunch of US States the past few months it’s been hard to squeeze in the time to write. I’m taking advantage of some Sunday evening curing time to share a recent visit from a bamboo bicycle aficionado. Hopefully, this will kick off the bamboo blogging [...]
Read MoreZip it Up!
On a recent trip to California I found myself in a fairly remote parking lot in a lovely little neighborhood in San Francisco. Having recently committed to a car-free lifestyle in Boston, I joined the massively popular ZipCar.

Well it’s been a month since my trip out to the Interbike trade show in Las Vegas and there’s been a good deal going on at Erba since then(saw dust, hemp, yada yada). It’s obvious that I’m going to have to be more diligent about tweeting and blogging. With that said, here’s the start of [...]
Read MoreLast minute jump in…
After working pretty furiously over the past 3-4 months, I figured it might be a good idea to jump in with the local artist community and participate in the South End Open Studios. I’ll be doing a small preview of what’s happening here at Erba Cycles. We’ll have some bikes on hand and I’ll be [...]

This is going to be fantastic. I can’t wait to see all the vendors and new products. I’ll be posting from the show with photos when I can. There’s some great new stuff out there that I’ve got on the Erba short list for our base build-kit. It will be great to get my eyes [...]
