My friend Joey Ruiter just designed this amazing bike. I saw someone else had reblogged this photo on their tumblr, but there was no credit or link to his site. I followed the trail of reblogs for a while, and still no credit or link. Grrrrr.
Anyway, to reiterate:
This bike is awesome.

There are different species of laziness: Eastern and Western. The Eastern style is like the one practised in India. It consists of hanging out all day in the sun, doing nothing, avoiding any kind of work or useful activity, drinking cups of tea, listening to Hindi film music blaring on the radio, and gossiping with friends. Western laziness is quite different. It consists of cramming our lives with compulsive activity, so there is no time at all to confront the real issues. This form of laziness lies in our failure to choose worthwhile applications for our energy.

Reblogging cool quotes on Tumblr and Facebook is a pretty good example of Western laziness. Pointing irony counts, too.
