Peppermint Bike Park in Thailand takes recreational cycling to a whole new level. An amusement park designed for cyclists, it looks like a race course for bikes. Who wouldn't want one of these in their neighborhood? Watch the promo video below and be jealous!

Inspired by the Dutch, Salt Lake City, Utah, will become the first city in the US to install a protected intersection. This model has become known as the safest for cyclists and is rather attractive to boot. Maybe other cities across the country will follow suit.

There's nothing like a nice place to sit at the end of a long day, especially one that involves an epic ride. The chairs below, comprised of LED lights and traditional wood, have no lack of visual appeal. We would love to see more of this work!

A traffic jam in Belgium slowed to a halt at the height of World War II. 70 years later, a forest has grown up around the rusted cars. Take a look at this moment frozen in time. It's enchanting.

Levav, an Israeli artist, makes life-size dog statues out of used bicycle parts. Her work deserves a look.

Enjoy the links!
