Bike Porn 2 - Rev. Phil does Boulder

Rev. Phil and his traveling pornocopia of bike film shorts came to the BurnWorks last night and presented to a packed house. We were treated to a special burlesque performance by Whisky Breath Burlesque.

If you missed last night's show you can see the film at the Orange Cat Studios in Denver tonight at 8:00 and 10:00pm. More info at www.bikesmut.com.

Thanks to everyone that came out to this event last night. It wasn't as scary as you thought... but you didn't stick around for the after party. ;)

PG photos coming soon.

Guess who?

So I read MAKE blog online and they just posted a link to a collection of odd bikes. I saw most of the pictures before, but the last one was a pleasant surprise, if not odd and random.

Woody Trailer Project

Earlier in the Summer I found a free Burley trailer on Boulder Freecycle. The ripstop fabric was dry rotted and smelled a little like dog piss (no wonder it was free).

My idea was to give the trailer a retro, woody look. I've been biking more and relying less on my car and my goal is to use my bike for most of my transportation/work in Boulder. This trailer will help me carry my groceries, haul tools and maybe even a case of beer or two.

Car vs. Bus vs. Bike

A picture says a thousand words.

Heading to the Denver Cruise and DNC

A Boulder contingent of Cruiser delegates will be making their way to the Denver Cruiser Ride tonight. It's been awhile since we've been down to cruise in D-town so it should be fun. It will be interesting with all the DNC hoopla this week and Denver Cruiser Brad has promised a secret route with free beer. We're in!

Bartertown this Thursday at BurnWorks

Come to Bartertown this Thursday at the BurnWorks.

What is Bartertown? It's the last human outpost where the survivors of the Apocalypse come to rest and refuel before their nomadic journey into the wastelands in search of Captain Walker and Tomorrow-Morrow Land.

Where? The BurnWorks
When? This Thursday from 5:30 until 7:30pm. We will return to Bartertown around 9:30-10:00pm

Bike Trailers

Here at the BurnWorks, we like making utility based bicycle transport. Side cars, BoulderFiets, etc. You might see some of our creations hitting the streets in the coming months. In the meantime, check out this site for some inspiration for you next project. [Link]

Bike Part Coffee Table Project

I recently created a coffee table from discarded bike parts. I like saving things (that would otherwise end up in a landfill) and turn them into something new and useful. Be on the lookup for more designs soon!

This past week MAKE magazine posted about my coffee table on their blog. (link)

Side Car complete!

At long last, the "Designated Biker" aka the "Spectatormobile" aka sidecar is complete. It was a race to the finish to get it painted and put back together for the Burnworks grand opening, but we did it. Three cheers to Whiskey Drew for helping out on this project.

Side Car Bike and other curiosities

We're busy at the BurnWorks these days. B-Rad is working on an English cruiser restoration, Whisky Claus is taking on an ambitious project and designing a Longjohn. I won't tell you what it is, but you may see it soon.

My current project is a side car bike. The side car has been attached, but the framing is not quite done. Eventually there will be a built in seat that can be flipped up so there will be room for groceries, dogs and maybe a case of beer or two. It might not be ready for this week's cruiser ride, but we will see.
