		<description><![CDATA[Henry Cutler, aka "Henry Workcycles" has been building unique cargo bikes in Holland for quite some time now. After years of friendship we decided to stop making social calls and start importing the WorkCycles line into Canada (the US is already covered, in this case). Workcycles represents the Dutch obsession with quality in the archetypical sense...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fietsvak bike show in Holland is probably deadly boring to Dutch bike retailers, but fascinating to us out-of-towners. In many ways, the Fietsvak is the Dutch bicycle industries way of kick-starting the year by showing some 'late release' products and 'limited edition' products that keep consumers anxious and the bike industry on their toes after a boring winter...]]></description>

As importers of Europe's city bikes, we feel obligated to ensure that we bring in the best and only the best.

		<description><![CDATA[The automobile has always been a measure of success in North America. This is hardly a controversial statement. Car ownership has not only been a measure of personal success but of national success. As America flounders in its recession, the measures for national health are still found in &#8216;key economic indicators&#8217; like housing and automobile. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Mikeal Colville-Anderson, in his popular blog Copenhagenize, recently posted a very interesting article around the issue of &#8217;subculture&#8217; in emerging city bike cultures. Mikeal argues that city cycling needs to move from the subculture to the &#8216;mainstream&#8217;, a point we have often argued, since subcultures often identify as being &#8216;exclusive&#8217; over &#8216;inclusive&#8217; &#8211; and encourage [...]]]></description>

Many people in North America are jumping back on bikes again, but are &#8211; legitimately &#8211; scared of theft. This, of course, is fair enough. In Europe a large network of institutions support the bicycle users daily lock-up, from insurance companies, to police, to city planners, to the bicycle industry itself.
