TEDxMileHigh - Allen Lim - Life with Bikes
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
What would you do if you lost your passions? Doing is great, but it's ultimately about trying, says Allen Lim. In this personal story, he details the creativity and persistence that was required to bring one of his own passions back to life. In the process, he implores us to rediscover the bicycle as well as our personal passions. In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxMileHigh, where x = independently organized TED event. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Excellent.

One of the best Tedx's I have ever seen... No one of the best VIDEOS I've ever seen.
-
Well, we all now know what the secret sauce was...
-
Right?
-
awesome Allen... to be honest at the start of your talk I was thinking "corporate dickhead," but then you somehow segued into my autobiography... I also spent a few years as a corporate asshole on airplanes, for which I am filled with eternal regret... I love your solution and how you are fighting back... really cool... and a lot of respect... thanks for making me fool good today, my bike life was born at the same time, 30 years on the wheel now and the only stable thing there has been...

pro cycling sold out, it needs to come back to page 1. ride, ride, ride!
-
Note to self. Never mention the name of any Pro Cyclist or Athlete in a presentation for Kudos. It will most likely come back to haunt you a few years later. I inherited a Brompton folding bicycle. It's a work of genius and is perfect for city life ... I just fold it (15 seconds) and take it into the coffee shop.

what are the bike specs? thanks!
-
HELP! Starting @15:01, is that an Echo & The Bunnymen song?
I'm going nuts trying to find it. Thanks to whoever can direct me to the track. -
Love this setup, want to know what kind of bags and bike that is.
-
Fully complicit in the doping culture now he's schilling rice cakes. Move on Allen.. you're a very smart guy but you and Chris Carmichael are coattail riding frauds.
-
Right?
-
just ride just ride just ride... and a little bit of doping. Right?
-
300$ to ride your bike? With that amount you can probably buy a whole bike. How was this calculated? Even if i trade every consumable the bike has and one or other part that breaks down, i would get nowhere near 300$.
BTW, nice folding setup dude :D -
The day that Allen Lim comes clean about his connections to doping in pro cycling will be the day I find this inspiring.
-
the talk would be cut in half if he stopped saying, "right?"
-
Use your reason, guys.
What would extra carbon footprint be flying with 20 kg folding bike over thousand miles?
Renting bike or locker in airport will create some jobs along the way. -

@dennis ideler: the suitcase if you look closely bears the initials L i m..which is his family name....
-
Anyone know the brand of the bike and accessories (helmet and suitcase)? Looks like "wm" but I couldn't find anything by that name.
