"The bike crate is designed and built for every day use. It is spacious and sturdy and meets the demands arising from a busy urban lifestyle. Due to its size and form it is more versatile in use than even the big classical bicycle baskets. The materials used can withstand everyday use and all kinds of weather. The bike crate is made of dibond, stainless steel, and polycarbonate, and all brackets are custom crafted in lightweight aluminum. The corner brackets can withstand even strong impacts."

Upon arrival, I checked into my hotel and the headed toward the Marketplatz public square. I couldn't help but stop and take a picture of the Single Speed Bicycles storefront, which would fit right in in San Francisco. Unlike in the U.S., however, Switzerland still observes Sundays in their traditional form: nearly all the shops were closed.

How can cities make bike riding more safe? How can designers make bike riding more safe?

@LADOTofficial: We can’t continue to treat bicyclists like slow drivers or fast walkers. They’re neither, and the streets should show it.

@erikaheet: You gotta keep 'em separated: dedicated bike lanes and bike signals in cities will improve safety.

@Shinola: Build more bike paths that aren't shared with buses, etc. This is tough to do, but go to Amsterdam to see how it works.

@PUBLICBikes: Bikes in Europe include more safety features standard, like built-in lights. US bike industry should follow suit.

Track Bike by Kinfolk—Desiring a bike built around 80s Japanese track parts, Bartek Kolacz and Kinfolk Studios created this beautiful track number with a hand-crafted frame by master builder Shiuchi Kusaka in Kansai, Japan.

Shinola's creative director Daniel Caudill says, "Our long-term goal is to have everything made here. The current challenge is that since we can't [produce everything domestically], what can we make?" That would be the bicycle, whose parts are made in Wisconsin (frame), California (wheels), Colorado (spokes), and Mississippi (tubing). Photo by: Greg Vore
