Walnut Studiolo offers a clever way to port a 6-pack along for the ride.

on 16 Mar 11Yep, that would certainly encourage more people to cycle. At least until the carton gets wet…

on 16 Mar 11Pretty good. Me, I use a Gomoh front basket (available from Rivendell) that includes a built-in bottle opener. It’s an awfully heavy front basket though. It’s designed to hold an entire case of beer.

on 16 Mar 11You guys talk about testing each word on a page: why did you change the wording from “offers this clever way” to “offers a clever way”?

on 16 Mar 11but this will take all the fun out of watching guys who got DUIs try to manage a case of beer on a bike! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZZyx4LvLVY

Bianchi Bicycles

on 16 Mar 11That’s a Bianchi headbadge on the frame (which has been repainted or powdercoated), and all the parts are nearly all aftermarket.
Design/engineering feedback: The cardboard box would rip after a bump or two, not to mention how badly the six pack would swing back and forth when you stand to pedal up a hill.
This is a beautiful product, but for real world use I imagine it wouldn’t work very well.

on 17 Mar 11A foldable rear rack would be better.
The bike looks to be a mid-80s Bianchi, possibly a Brava judging from the round tubes, single set of bottle bosses and room for fenders. However, it doesn’t have downtube shifter bosses and I can’t find a Bianchi with that weird shield thing on the bottom of the downtube, which leads me to believe the frame has been customized. Looks nice!

on 17 Mar 11What was the point of this blog again? I used to remember.
I’m pretty sure bike beer racks was not it, though.
Could be wrong.

on 17 Mar 11AC, here’s a refresher: “a weblog by 37signals about design, business, experience, simplicity, the web, culture, and more”. It’s right there in the header. You can either pick “design”, “culture”, or “and more” for your personal categorization of this post. It’s a fun game, enjoy!

on 17 Mar 11Thanks joe larson. Great scene from a really good movie.

on 17 Mar 11Too bad my knees and legs would be hitting those bottles all the time.
Also: a better beer would be on my bike. :-)

on 17 Mar 11What a dorky fucking bike. I’d kick the ass of the geek on that ugly clap trap.

on 17 Mar 11I love it.

on 17 Mar 11Nice, but please let me know when they develop the 2.0 version which holds a case of beer and fifth of bourbon.
Nicole
on 18 Mar 11Pretty, but it seems like it would make for some awkward pedaling. I’ll stick with my foldable rear baskets (and my O’Dells six pack).
I would take the bike, though, if the owner wanted to give it to me.

on 19 Mar 11After 6 Czech beers, the bike looks better.
