A keyhanger for bike lovers (DIY project)
Loren, the head honcho over at Walkietalkietees passed this one along today. Found on Freshbump is this clever recycling idea: a key hanger for every bike lover. By using the inner tube of your average bike tire, with additional valves, you can create an cheap and interesting hanger up your keys. Perfect for any sort of key...
A perk of working at the Discovery Channel
Like any other job, sometimes my gig bites it. But, when I look around my cubicle and see these posters...I'm reminded that sometimes this job has its rewards. I've got a set at work, a set at home....and a few extras in a drawer. These incredible posters were created by Travis Coburn. Not surprisingly, replacing Lance failed.
Bicycle houseware
Was your attempt to hang your beloved bicycle on the living room wall "in the name of art" thwarted? How about placing your beautiful Hutch BMX helmet on the mantle? Veto'd again? If so, I feel your pain.
Good news, if you're a guy looking to sneak some bicycles into your homes' decor without ruffling your gal pal's feathers...then I may have struck gold. These items below are definitely gal-pal friendly. You can see an even wider selection here.
How bad do you want a Titus?
It's not often that I find something cool and bicycle related on Adsoftheworld. Today, however, was one of those days. Check out this crazy ad campaign cooked up by TDA Advertising & Design and Titus. If you're willing to legally change your name, get married in Titus jerseys or get a tattoo of a Titus you could earn yourself a free bicycle.

Chrome Ivan rolltop bag
I recently got an email from a friend and fellow biker telling me about how a recent purchase...."I got the Ivan backback from Chrome with some Xmas gift cards... love it. I was a big fan of their shoulder bags, and I think I'm an even bigger fan of this roll-top." Thanks Tyler.
With that, I present to you Chrome's Ivan Rolltop Pack: Our medium sized all-purpose pack with a seam-sealed, roll-tight, waterproof compartment (beer cooler). Made in the USA. Guaranteed for Life.
Haiti Race in NYC
I won't be making the trek to NYC this weekend, but if you're in the city...this is an event worth getting behind. Details are on the flyer.
Cool Poster
As a designer I love coming across cool bicycle related artwork. Today I was lucky enough to come across this, which is available here.
Depending on the size, prices range from $17.64-$34.45
People love $1 stickers
I was checking out Pedal Consumption today and noticed that they had recently printed a run of stickers of their logo. The $1 price tag clearly proved to be irresistable. The stickers are already sold out. Not sure I have the following quite yet to warrant such a high price tag. Perhaps free would be the route to go for The Pedal Pusher.
This and that
