ecovelo.info is a cycling blah-blog that’s decided to call it quits.  I’ve followed their posts for the last 9 months to occasionally find worthwhile stuff  to share.  The last month, or so, their posts seem to have devolved into simple “commuter” profiles.

Their photos were absolutely impeccable; beautifully staged, perfectly illuminated, exquisitely framed but often wanting of the visceral quality that cycling and bicycles are all about.

Sometimes you just want your bike-porn to reveal the patina and pimples; revel in the rawness.  And sometimes it’s essential to present a bicycle that was conceived as a work of art in its original immaculate conception when it has been maintained to perfection; like a show car with historic significance or, for example, Uncle Howie’s Baylis {BlahBlah’s gotta showcase Uncle Howie’s collection}.

The EcoVelo site is a worthwhile visit.  You’ll find lots of great bikes in their gallery; like the orange Schwinn below (contributed by a reader).
