IKEA Bikes: Sladda
Starting in February 2017, you’ll be able to pick up IKEA’s new Sladda bike in stores across the US. Or, if you just can’t wait, you can order it now on IKEA’s US website, starting at $399.
I know a lot of folks are already complaining that it won’t be a “real” bike. Seriously, with a 10 year warranty on the belt drive, with disc brake and a rear coaster brake? With a $25 Front Rack, a $129 Trailer, and a $30 Bike Bag (that converts to a backpack)?
This was designed with a carry handle on the frame and appears to include lights and a bell. A BELL! Standard.
I think I have just found my new commuter bike.

Squirrel Attacks Cyclist
Read the full article for the comments, they are soooo fun. I had to look at the bike for a minute to see why they were suggesting different wheels, awkward moment, for the squirrel.
In one of the most bizarre stories that you’re going to read today, a Chicago politician has described the moment he was hospitalized after crashing into a squirrel as a ‘revenge attack’.
Howard Brookins Jr., the alderman for Chicago’s 21st ward, fractured his skull, lost a number of teeth, and broke his nose when when he fell from his bike after a squirrel ran into his path.
Brookins may have been hospitalized, but it was a much worse ending for squirrel
Speaking to the Chicago Tribune after being released from hospital, Brookins saw the funny side of the accident.
“I can think of no other reason for this squirrel’s actions than that it was like a suicide bomber, getting revenge.
