Hortobagyi Husos Palacsinta (meaty Hungarian pancakes)

Hungarians are a proud people and nothing seems to excite their dignity more than food. Meeting peter, a Hungarian restaurateur at his part time home The White Swan in Golders Green, I began to understand why. For Hungarians food is...

I Bike London T-shirts deliver cycling smugness

What if I told you that without even opening your mouth you could say: ?Yes, I?m the one who overtook you at the traffic lights while you were waiting in your car? ?I?m a better person than you are, in every way, because I ride a bike? ?I?m going to have a Christmas pudding and [...]

oVo recumbent tandem UK manufacturer.

Article by; OvO tandems Richard Cresswell After a holiday in Brittany Richard came up with the idea to make a tandem recumbent ? I think he was fed up with waiting for me at the top of the hills. So the oVo was conceived. So now when we go away (2010 we did over 1,000 Km on one trip and in 2011 1685.5 Km) we arrive in the same place at the same time! He went back to basics for the design, steering away from a standard bike shape and replacing it with a sexy curve made from aluminium box section. It separates into two bags which means you can go on Euro star (?if you can get it through the X-ray machine mate we can get it on Euro star? quote from a porter at Euro star) and it does. In fact we went on 11/11 different trains this year through England, France, Holland and Belgium without refusal. The bags weigh 9.5Kg and 13.5Kg (less than the pannier bags did!)

And now for something completely different -- transformer bicycle

The bike solves the problem for those who like the idea of a tall bike to see over traffic, but don't like the idea of mounting or dismounting it.

It looks like the front fork is ...
