I really wonder sometimes why some people just don't buy a bigger frame.... either that or it was a hand me down from a much shorter biker or the current owner is borderline sadomasochistic. 

Frame sizing rant over. Love the improvised handlebar tape I gather as a ode to the Melbourne University Cycling Club [link], not so much the gold headset spacers. Also what is with the $5 plastic pedals? Component rant over.

Sam Polcer's New York Bike Style series

Sam Polcer's portrait series of people with their preferred mode of transport [link] can now be found in all it's glossy photobook glory entitled New York Bike Style [link] which documents pretty much verbatim the title of said glossy photobook. The Book has been published by Prestal [link]   

Looking at his blog Preferred Mode [link] it's clear with the shear frequency of uploads on almost a daily basis is pretty impressive to say the least. Hell, I know how hard it is to post on a semi weekly basisl let alone a daily basis!

Anyway if you are at all into Humans of New York [link] then press the subscribe button on Sam Polcer's RSS feed as well.

Also other photographic bike portrait series to checkout while you are at it.
