Directions

Manhole and Utility Covers of Oslo, Norway

If you live part of your life on two wheels and are used to looking on the ground to avoid broken glass and cracked pavement, Oslo offers you, as Martha Stewart would say, "visual treats" in the form of differently designed manhole and utility covers.

Walking Bike Takes 8 Pairs of Sneakers and Patience to Ride

Max Knight created the Walking Bike from 8 pairs of sneakers and some fancy wheel modifications. You can check out the YouTube to see how it rides. It is not exactly a smooth spinning machine, but I have a sweet spot in my heart for anyone who builds bike wheels. If you look closely, it appears Max has included the thoughtful touch of a black ankle sock for each sneaker. If you are a wheel builder, you know that the devil is in the details.
