The bicycle is one of the most popular means of transportation around the world. It gives us the possibility to be as free as we want to be. We use it for transportation, sports, and fun. The equipment can vary from cheap to expensive, from athletic to comfortable; for each need you can find a bicycle that meets your expectations. Within the last years more and more people have been addicted to bicycling. Some because they want to move along eco-friendly, others because they rediscovered the fun and action one experiences while riding stunning trails or tricky fun parks challenging ones fitness and competing with other riders. Or just because it is the most flexible vehicle in car-crowded cities. For those people the bicycle is not just a means of transportation. It represents their way of life and their individuality.

This deep relation inspired a lot of them to express their passion in artworks dealing with bikes or using the bicycle itself as canvas or as a source of inspiration to reinvent the bike. With this volume, author Kiriakos Iosifidis welcomes you to a panorama of all kinds of works that are inspired by the bicycle. It is a collection of colourful bicycle graffiti, paintings, remarkable bicycle designs, complex constructions, and various types of bicycles one can find on the streets around the world.

A QR code or Quick Response code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode first created by Toyota for automotive industry back in 1994 to track vehicle parts during manufacturing process. It is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. The codes are made up of black modules arranged in square pattern on a white background. The information encoded on the QR code can be made up of any kind of data like binary codes, alphanumeric, or Kanji symbols. It turns information or any kind of text data in to jumble of pixels that you can scan using your Smartphone immediately, without typing required. Recently, the system has become popular outside the automotive industry because of its fast readability and comparatively large storage capability. They already exist in magazines, shops, newspapers and many others. In today’s post, we have collected various business cards with QR code as a new surprising element included in their design that can make them really stand out from the crowd. QR codes on business cards can be used to transfer different kinds of information. Such information are contact details and website address. The information can then be encoded to text and given out over the web and much more. If your phone does not have a QR code decoding capability, you may find QR code scanner applications on the web and install it on your iPhone, blackberry, windows, android, and many other popular carriers.
