This is the coolest bicycle I’ve ever seen… “Zero Bike” is designed by Makota Makita and Hiroshi Tsuzaki from Tokyo, Japan. The bike is a hubless, spokeless and very lightweight bicycle powered by cranking magnetic pedals which rotate the tires suspended between other magnets. It has won a design excellence award by the Industrial Design Society of America.

Update on 10/11/2006: This article got reddited. And from the comments on the reddit, I found a bigger better picture of this bicycle. Click here to see it.

Some might say where the hell did you find this bike? Well I was doing some research on hubless wheel technology. And I came to very interesting sites, being this bicycle one of them. Hubless wheels are kind of like “reinventing the wheel”. Dominique Mottas, is the name of the French guy who reinvented and patented the wheel. For the ones who are still asking what the fuck is a hubless wheel, here is a picture that explains everything. (Not the girl! Look at the wheel damnit!) Check out this site for some more info how these wheels work.
Talking about hubless… Check out this “Hubless Monster” made by Amen Motorsports. This is the first motorcycle with dual hubless wheels. Also it has the largest motorcycle tire in the world. (360 mm) Another record is the wheel diameter. 23 inches… The company has some pretty slick designs. Check out their web pages.

Lately I`m ignoring my blog. I have nothing to write… I don`t know why, but I lost all my ambition to write something to my blog. Is it because of lack of change in my life? Is it because blogging was a fashion and gone now, is it because I suck? I don`t know…

Lately I`m listening The Sounds, and Bloc Party. Both are excellents groups. I highly recommend them. (If you like 80s pop, IndRock and a bit punk.) (Here and here are what I think about those two bands in more details and in turkish.)

Lately I`m reading Hardcore Zen by Brad Warner thanks to Oktay. Also I read Ahmet Umit`s Kukla (in turkish). Nice to read, shows a bit how deepshit is Turkey in, but too repetitive and the character talks to himself soo much it is very annoying. Another book I`m reading is Beyond Fear by Bruce Schneier. (I`m thinking about a blog entry just for this book…)

Lately I feel tired, sleepy and bored. I have no idea why…

Lately I am playing World of Warcraft. I have a level 31 priest named Baenre on the realm Malygos. (I feel lazy to link all these keywords, so google them… Baenra is the matron mother of Menzoberranzan to give you a clue, another clue might be “Drizzt” )

Lately I`m ignoring my blog, my laundry, my home, my cat, my car, my motorcycle, my life…
