Swissbike/Montague (same company) makes great, full-size folding mountain bikes that are perfect for storing in the trunk or in the corner of your kitchen. My dad swears by his Montague which he's owned for the past 10 years and it still works just fine despite regular use on trails.

I personally have a Bianchi Volpe cyclocross/touring bike. Great bike, never had any problems. Some sites for cool bike gear that I recommend are Rivendell Bicycle Works (http://www.rivbike.com/) and VeloOrange (http://www.velo-orange.com/). For cheap bike stuff (price, not quality), check out NashBar (http://www.nashbar.com). For superb bike humor - http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/

beautiful home. and he lives at union square. i'm jealous *sigh*

thanks for the tips!

i have to agree. but they do have cool stuff.

I'd appreciate these as a gift from family, for sentimental value.

Just to add - I think it looks beautiful and I'd love to do something similar in my bathroom.

Jaclyn -
I'm new to wood flooring so excuse the n00bness of the question - but what type of floors are those? They are absolutely stunning. I'm in the process of buying a condo and would love to take up the carpet and put down floors like you have.

I have a white, supremely furry dog (American Eskimo) and a car with a black cloth interior. I've found that the best ways to get rid of fur are:

1) vacuum regularly so it doesn't become too much to handle (but that's obvious).

2) lint roller.

3) damp sponge.

4) a static pet hair brush (the bristles are made of rubber) that people who detail cars professionally use (I bought Meguiar's Pet Hair and Lint Remover).

The Scotch pet hair remover is useless. I'd suggest going to Sam's Club or Costco and stocking up on lint rollers. There's a dust cloth that attaches to the Swiffer that's also quite handy for non-cloth areas. Hope this helps and I feel your pain :P

For Maddie and Mike - in the hopes that you check the comments - could you please tell me where you found that wonderful open road painting above your bed? I am looking for something just like that.
