Somewhat creepy, but definitely well-experienced designer, Andre Kim, is now working on bicycles. The Joongang article describes his bikes a little and also mentions Chanel and Gucci as other new entrants into the bicycle market.

Meanwhile, also from the Joongang (via Marmot's Hole), police in Ulsan have created a bicycle squad.

Among other things mentioned in the article, bicycle police squads apparently improve the public's perception of the police. I suppose it's hard to sleep in a quiet backstreet on a bicycle. Less sarcastically, I expect that the ability of the police to interact more easily and the requirement to be more transparent (you can't hide much on a bicycle) will help.---
If only the weather were better, I would add some personal cycling news. Alas, I can only look out the window at the falling rain.

I like the bikes. The models are creepy, creepy . . . I bet people knock them down in alleys.
