Pieces of History

Five and Dime has been selected by the Marshall County Historical Society in West Virginia to prepare two antique bicycles for the Historic Cockayne Farmstead. These beautiful bikes were found inside the farmhouse this past summer. From our initial research they are an 1897 Cleveland Lozier built by Columbia and an early 1900s Mead Crusader. The elegant yet solid craftsmanship of these cycles kind of blows my mind. I'll be posting updates of the progress in the weeks to come.

Fuel: My Weekend

After work on Friday I'm doing this trip...

I'm taking a small backpack, a hammock, and a good book. I'll be sleeping in the woods and waking to the arrival of my family who have secured a pontoon boat for day of sun-soaked cruising on Ohio's lovely Seneca Lake. Life is good.

Fuel: Berlin, Germany

We recently visited the very bike-friendly city of Berlin. This was one of our favorite adver-bikes:

Love the use of the wine corks. Kind of like this bike we did in 2009.

Fuel: Roo Ride

We will be making our 6th trip to the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival this year. We have a 9 hour drive by car but it's great to see people that live a bit closer arranging a bike ride to Bonnaroo.

Oh, and check out this cycle-related pic post from last years' Roo! Maybe we should ditch the car and head south on bikes?

SOLD - Custom Beach Cruiser

I had promised Rusty that I would do a bike for him. It took forever but turned out great. New brown leather seat, cork grips, high rise bars, rear rack, rocket head light, and white wall ballon tires. Rusty lives in Ormond Beach, Florida where he and his bike fit right in.
