Traitor Cycles Urban Bikes

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

The freeride crew from Transition Bikes is rolling out a new line of urban bikes under the name Traitor Cycles. It’s great to see new bike brands riding the wave of high gas prices, and it’s even better to see small bike companies growing up. It’s my dream to see the bike industry take a [ more... ]

WiFi Coming to Idaho State Parks

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Four Idaho State Parks will be offering wifi service to campers who want to spend some time outdoors but still check work e-mails, schedule meetings, and check out their fantasy football teams. It’ll be nice for people who own GPS-equipped cell phones mashed up with Google Maps, but there are obviously a contingent of people [ more... ]

Nixon Rotolog Watch Made from Recycled Skateboards

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Early on buying a green product meant that you were getting something made from things you’d rather not revisit. Your jacket may have been made from old milk jugs or your chalk bag was cut from hemp vestments of a Himalayan herbal healer. Nixon offers us a product that doesn’t look like it was made [ more... ]

SuperFly Energy Drink Tabs

Friday, August 29th, 2008

SuperFly Jimmy Snuka should call his legal team into the Octagon Ring to take care of these suckas. A knock-off of the energy drink tabs made by Nuun promises to deliver Red Bullesque performance without the syrupy consistency and liquid morphine cough medicine taste. Pack your gums full of this stuff if you’re out of [ more... ]

LeMond vs Trek Usurped by Inmate

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Not much to do and ready access to the legal system makes for some interesting lawsuits. Take this one brought by an inmate trying to tie up the Lemond vs. Trek suit. In an odd twist, an inmate at a federal prison in Williamsburg, South Carolina filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit in [ more... ]

Fixed Gear Bikes Will Look a Lot Less Cool After This

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Only watch this if you’re prepared to corrupt the pure vision you hold of oneness with the bike among fixed gear riders. Actually, the videos kind of funny once you get over all the giggling and male bonding.

Innov8 Ultra Floaty Trail Runners

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

The lightweight mavens of trail running are rolling out their lightest offering yet next spring with the Innov8 X-Talon 212. They weigh about 7.4 ounces, so it’s kind of like running on clouds—clouds that are made out of screen and open-cell foam. If the Vancouver Foot Monster takes your appendages in these things they’ll stay [ more... ]

Nice Jacket, Does it Come in a Men’s Version?

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

You have to hand it to Kjus for not watering down their Euro style for consumption in America. And you also have to hand it to them for making their Cio down jacket in a color other than white since grease drips from the chairlift would leave you looking like a bad Mentos commercial. Good [ more... ]

Tree Yoga Multi-Sling Pushes the Already Tenuous Limits of Tree Yoga

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Tree Yoga combines the fresh smell of trees with the atmosphere of an Old West cow rustler hanging. I’d like to see a first time user dance around in one of these glorified deer stands about 30 feet off the ground. They’d either end up inventing the Death Vrksasana or becoming a pioneer in Quadriplegic [ more... ]

Trendy Eproze Multi-tools Out of Japan for your Track Bike

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Eproze‘s bike tool looks pretty handy with all those slim wrenches wedged into one handle, but you know the 15mm will strip out the first time you try to get off your rear wheel. Maybe you can match it with your Park multi-tool with the bent chain pin and the Pedro’s with the stripped out [ more... ]
