Why We Shouldn’t Bike with a Helmet为什么我们不应该戴头盔骑车

“The automobile industry is one of the main promoters of bicycle helmets. And Why? It’s simple. The bicyle is a real and immediate threat to the dominance of car culture in the cities.”

Exactly my point: wearing a helmet is telling people that we feel vulnerable and weak as cyclists. Bikers of a true livable city should not live in such fear.

Mikael Colville-Andersen is the founder of Copenhagenize.com, Copenhagen Cycle Chic streetstyle blog (The Sartorialist on Two Wheels !) and CEO at Copenhagenize Consulting.

我的观点正是这样：戴头盔等于是告诉所有人我们觉得自己是弱势群体。一个真正的适宜居住的城市的居民是不应该活在这种恐惧之中的。当然，中国的实际国情和丹麦还差得很远。

保险和汽车行业是自行车头盔的最大提倡者。为什么？很简单。自行车直接威胁到了城市汽车文化的主导地位。

（抱歉没有找到中文字幕。演讲者主要列举了一些数据说明了戴头盔没有降低反而甚至提高了危险系数。但最重要的是：头盔是一种恐惧的商业产物，而不是一种必须。而头盔的推广实际反而降低了骑车大众的数量和自行车的销量。）

Holiday Beer Bash!节日啤酒狂欢！

Saturday I had another awesome ride with the People’s Bike/Factory Five gang: my first ever BEER BASH!

The idea was to stop at every Lawson (convenience store) that’s on the ride route and get a beer. I never noticed there’re so many Lawsons downtown!

↓ Just arrived (I was late). Everyone started drinking already.

Sierra and Troy ↑

So I got really high. ↑ 😀

规则就是骑行路上遇到的每个罗森（便利店）都停下来买罐啤酒喝（当然，也不是硬性规定）。结果一路十来个下来，发现市区的罗森真叫多啊。。。

↓我刚到，大家都已经开喝了。

模范夫妻Sierra和Troy

喝着喝着，对面骑来一群中国骑友！叫他们过来一起，原来是从苏州来的。↓

Chris的竹三轮，装有音响，一路圣诞歌~铃儿响叮当

Drew 和 Jeff （另外那个是谁？）

Jeff喝的 1/8 ？他们还有啤酒的？

圣诞老人边吃边喝，随着竹三轮的圣诞歌开始跳舞了。

爬到很高 ↑

茂名南路在冬日阳光下真是太美了。拍了好几张。

又到了一个 ↓

双耳圣诞帽！ ↑

美车太多！

天渐渐黑了。大家继续喝！

二锅头也来！

竹三轮引来了很多关注。

圣诞满罗森！

晚饭：小笼包！第一批 ↓

狼吞虎咽 ↑

还有另一桌在室外吃品种丰富的中国菜肴 ↓

😀 开心死了

1-2-3, Merry Christmas!

(上面视频看不了的话，我在土豆也发了。)

这是Yoann拍的，很棒吧！翻不了墙的可以去土豆看。

A Ride to Xinchang Old Town新场古镇骑行

Sat. morning 9:00 started from Huaihai Rd. Fenyang Rd. on a 45km ride (roundtrip 90km!) to Xinchang Old Town. Braving through 0-2 °C all the way!

Journey: Fun
Aftermath: I was paralysed

Arrived! My friend Elena, who rode my pink little bike ↑

Yep, that’s me passing by one of the old watertown house. (It is now the profile pic of CityBikr Facebook page)

The ride home was exhausting. On the final few kilometers, my only living wish is to see the sweet tip hole of SWFC tower again. And I’m soooo proud that I made it with just a simple city bike. 😉

Want to see more photos of the water town? Check my Flickr.周六早上9点从上海音乐学院（淮海路汾阳路）出发到浦东新场古镇的 45公里骑行（来回90km！）。一路上温度都在3°C一下，到了古镇就到冰点0°C了。腿冻得僵硬~ T_T

回去的路途可不简单，累得我够呛！80多公里后我唯一的生存愿望就是再次看到环球金融中心的顶洞。

Airwalk ShanghaiAirwalk死飞上海店

Alright. So big news – I’m getting my own fixie. On Tuesday I checked out Factory 5 and then Saturday I went to Airwalk Shanghai.

Didn’t get my chance to talk to the staff before the GQ journalists finish their work. Quite a popular place! As I was talking and taking pictures, cute guys just keep coming in with their fancy bikes that at one point it became very hard to concentrate on my bike hunt.

This one belongs to one of them. ↓ The owner of this bike is very low profile and decided to have his friend taken with the bike rather than himself.

Finally the exact address: 242 Julu Lu, near Ruijiner Lu.

好啦，终于我也要买自己的死飞了！周二去了Factory 5，这次去的是上海 Airwalk 。

一进去，里面有俩GQ的记者在采访拍照。看来很有影响力啊！走了以后终于轮到我。一边聊着拍着，一边就有帅哥靓车进进出出，搞得我魂不守舍不能专心配车。

下面这辆就是其中一个帅哥的。↓ 车主希望保持低调所以让随行朋友代为模特。

最后是详细店址：巨鹿路242号，靠近瑞金二路
