Believe it or not, Britain’s long-distance trains are among the best in Europe for bike carriage. A First Great Western train to Cornwall has 6-12 bike spaces. A German ICE express has 0. But things are changing: carfree.fr reports that new French TGVs will offer up to three bike spaces, Austrian Railjets have six, and future ICEs will have eight. A new EU regulation requires that “railways shall enable passengers to bring bicycles on the train”, though with several caveats. Via carfree.fr. Link »

With weather forecasters promising a brief Indian summer, perhaps the time has come for this pedal-powered ice cream parlour, spotted in Los Angeles. Peddler’s Creamery, in their words, “produces high quality artisan bicycle-churned organic dairy and non-dairy ice cream and frozen desserts”. And you can even churn your own: the Peddler’s Club invites locals to come along and pedal constantly at a 15mph speed to make ice-cream. “After pedaling 75 miles, you get a pint of ice cream to enjoy; after pedaling 175 miles, you get a flavor named in your honor for a week.” Like an exercise bike… just with ice cream at the end.
