Santa ditches the sleigh
Every year I'm given a new Xmas ornament for the tree. This year is one of my favorites.
Wingtip SPD’s
Pretty interesting idea here from Bontrager. Personally, I never wear a suit nor wingtips to work so I have no need for such a product. But, I can see how some people could dig it.
Ugly Bicycle Sweater
That's what I googled....this was my hit.
Recently marked down to the low low low ludicrously priced $124.44.
Now...interestingly enough, if you simply google 'bicycle sweater' you get this beauty. No, that's not ugly at all!
Niner “You Are What You Drink” Top Cap
Not sure if I'd find the bottle cap of my favorite libation staring back at me motivating or a catalyst to hop off my bike and have a frosty one. I'd like to think that the cap would be a nice reminder of my reward to come after a long hard ride.
Replaces Your Existing Top Cap so that you can snap your favorite beer bottle crown over the built in lip to customize your ride. YAWYD - You Are What You Drink. Available here for only $12.99
San Pelegrino....come on!
Vaya Bags
For the life of me, I'm not sure why I haven't posted about this before. For the past 3 years I've been sporting my Vaya Bag almost daily. I fly with it, ride with it and take it too the office. The bag is fantastic in every situation. I'm certainly not the most gentle person on the planet. I never place, I toss or cram. But I can say without any trepidation that my Vaya bag has taken the abuse without a single blemish.
The beauty of Vaya bags is that the bag is 100% customizable. You can pick the colors, materials, pocket sizes....your request is her command. Best part is, they come in at a very competitive $65-150 price range. When I purchased mine a while back she was pretty much sticking to solid stripes and blocks of colors. But, from the looks of things, the sky is the limit these days.
My bag is in this style. I can't recommend it enough.
For a bit more money you can have a custom bag made from recycled inner tubes.
- Made with waterproof marine canvas and 18 oz vinyl coated fabric
- Waterproof inner lining
- Over the shoulder strap with side release clip
- Quick release D-ring strap adjustor
- Super padded Velcro strap cover
- No-swing stabilizer strap
- Easy access front pockets
- Velcro front flap with side release clips
- Extra padding against your back
- Front panel reflective tape
- Available with custom pockets, sizes and colors
Swobo Flask Cage – Makes the weather outside delightful
Just in time for the snowfall. Or in my case...just in time for my annual pilgrimage back home to Boston. Available here for only $19.99
Carry your favorite spirits on your ride, in our aluminum flask cage. Designed in partnership with Joseph Ahearne of Ahearne Cycles, in Portland, the cage is shaped to fit the curve of the flask. Cage fits standard frame water bottle mounts. We photographed the cage with a flask, but the flask is not included.
Hold on tight
Found this cool photo of Aaron Teasdale here. Sure hope he gave his brakes a serious once over before launching himself down this mountainside.
Let the Good Times Roll
Well, I can scratch out another one of my ideas. I'd been working on a Let The Good Times Roll t-shirt for a while now. I actually gotten into some pretty fleshed out designs and was likely to soon start printing. That was, until I saw this beauty from Steady Rollin.
The return of Cook Brothers
As an old and still pedaling BMX'er the news of this return made my day. Never as large as the Mongoose's, Hutch's, or Profile's of the world, Cook Brothers Racing still managed to carve out a great reputation back in the day with their cranks and components. Their first product rollout is a set of cranks they are calling the Bonz, which is being marketed towards the single speed scene. I hope this is just the beginning. Welcome back. Welcome Back.
Now for a trip down memory lane
The cranks were the star of their product line
This and that
