The kind folks at Idealist not only commented on my cart bike link woes but also just forwarded me an email they received…

Dear Sirs, my name is Antonio Mancinelli and i am a senior editor of Italian Marie Claire. We should like to publish your pic of cart-bike (the outside shot one), because I’m writing a story on new eco-friendly design. We will send you a copy, for the November issue (out 15th. October). The images we would like to receive by e-mail in high resolution (jpg files of 300 dpi in a size of full page namely 20×30cm/10×14 inches, in a size of half page, namely 20×15cm./10×7 inches). Waiting for your news, hope to have them as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
Antonio Mancinelli

Hello Antonio,
thanks for your interest in Idealist.

The Cart-Bike idea was created by Zieak, you can find the original material at: “http://www.zieak.com/2007/08/19/bike-and-shopping-cart/” you can contact him at (my email address) *I send a copy of this mail to him in order to put you both in contact. I would appreciate if any reference to Idealist can be made as a source of insightful designs and ideas. If you can’t make any reference to Idealist, don’t worry, there’s plenty of time and other occasions will arise.

You can find more examples of eco-friendly designs in the following links. http://idealist.blinkr.net/index.php?tag=recycle

Of course i had no idea what Marie Claire is. Here’s one description of the magazine… “While backing women on their path to freedom and pushing them to develop their curiosity, Marie Claire delivers the newest information on beauty, fashion, health, and other aspects of the daily life of women in the 21st century.” And Cena’s description was “Very girly.”
