Bike to Work book - Presented by USED
Carlton Reid is one of the busiest bike journalists i know. Not only does he write for BikeBiz the UK trade magazine but he also twitters with many bike business people, he blogs and spreads the bike word better than one of those western preachers saving souls in the afterlife with a half empty bottle of whisky in his pocket. Carlton is doing his stuff for the present and making a lot of noise, promoting the bicycle, both politically and emotionally. Check out Quickrelease TV to be convinced. The next step is his new book, written with Tim Grahl, called ...
USED Steel Bikes - Interview with Richard Ayling
Here's a two-part interview that i did with Richard Ayling, when he came to visit me after the Eurobike Show in Quakenbrück. Richard is the owner of Allegro Bikes in Melbourne Australia. USED and Allegro have signed an agreement to build and distribute a line of Singlespeed Urban Bikes. The bikes will come out in Europe under the name USED and in Australia under Allegro. Richard has done a great job with the specs and the bikes are really cool. They are fast, tough and a lot of fun to ride and they will carry a lot of stuff ...
Bamboo Bikes in Africa
This is a link to Craig Calfree and his report about a trip to Africa to make a Bamboo Bike there. It's a fascinating story and deserves all the support anyone can give. >>> more As some of you may know USED supported Carry Freedom with a Bamboo Trailer project, which included a show at the ISPO in Münich and various Seminars. The whole story is here: >>> more The Bamboo Trailer was designed by Carry Freedom for use in the 3rd world. This simple but strong trailer is built locally from paper plans we supply. What's revolutionary is that anyone can build this ...
The Pleasant Revolution in Mexico
Here is a short recap of the Ginger Ninjas Tour on Bikes through Mexico. They rode Surly Big Dummies (with Xtracycles) and produced their own electricity. It's a wonderful and vivid three minute bike and musical adventure. Keep it up Kipchoge! USED has been working with Xtracycle for a long time and we love the mixture of bike and art. The have style and class and if you watch the end of the video you will see a comparison with the Rolling Stones - but it has nothing to do with the music...

The Pleasant Revolution Tour
Well you all know I’m a great fan of the XTRACYCLE. We sell it here at USED and it has to be the coolest bike thingy you can buy. Longtail bikes are the future, carry stuff, people and yourself. Or if you play in a rock band, go on tour with just bicycles, equipment and guitars. What you need some electricity? Well just get the audience on the... [Read more of this review]
Power of USED - Part one
Well, where will it end? Is that light at the end of the tunnel or just wishful thinking? Do we play the cooperate game, slapping ourselves on the back because we made it through the jungle, while carefully covering our footsteps to make sure that others can’t follow? Or do we start getting sentimental in our old-age? Helping people across the... [Read more of this review]
