A co-worker recently shared with me the story of a bicycle outing with her young daughter that turned painful — for Mom. In an effort to avoid a collision when her child slowed significantly while chatting away, Mom hit the soft sand at the edge of the street where they were riding, didn’t get out […]

This original, medium sized linocut is inspired by allotments and my own vegetable garden. It features three gardeners and their bikes, a regular bike leaning against the shed, a bakfiet trike with trailer and a long John cargo bike. Like my favourite allotments, the plants form a mix of crops and insect friendly plants. Some of the globe artichokes in the foreground have flowered and others are ripe for the picking. Amongst the strawberries are a couple of stag beetles courting. An allotment is the British term for a plot of land rented by an individual for the growing of vegetables and flowers. These precious green spaces in the urban environment create a tapestry of mixed gardening styles. They are usually punctuated with creatively constructed sheds and greenhouses made out of recycled and reclaimed materials. Allotments are urban ecosystems for wildlife, and the renters are often environmentally aware ‘grow your own’ gardeners who see the bicycle as their favoured form of transport. To make the linocut my original sketch was traced and transferred to a block of lino, I then cut and gouged away at the lino so that areas would be left blank (white) when ink was rolled onto the finished lino block revealing the final image. Each print is an original piece of art. You will be delighted with the feel and quality of the print. You can see and feel the imprint of the lino on the reverse side. To make the print Caligo safe wash ink (linseed oil base) has been printed onto Somerset Satin 300gsm paper. The printed area measures 30x40cm on paper sized 38x48cm. Each print is numbered from the edition of 50, signed and bears the title ‘The allotment’. The print is shown mounted and framed in a standard 40x50cm frame. A double mount, providing a black edge line looks particularly good as a framing suggestion. The print is sold without mount or frame. It is shipped free of charge very securely packaged in a cardboard art tube which is then placed inside a triangular cardboard postal box. A tracked postal service is used. Copyright remains with the artist.

It's Bike to Work week and we took part by organizing fun events at our school playground. The families started by decorating their bikes with balloons, ribbons, and license plates. Or they washed their bikes. I noticed most of the children washed only the wheels. Then they were ready to ride the figure 8 course. Some of the children recognized and knew what to do at a STOP sign. Not everyone though. The video shows some near misses so we started to give a bit of direction and instruction to keep traffic moving safely. The most popular part was riding through the bike 'wash'. Around and around they went.
