Morning Ride

20120414-074939.jpg

20120414-075028.jpgCouldn’t sleep so the obvious choice was to ride to Waffle House and dominate a couple bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits! It was accomplished with successful results! Time to go burn it off! Or go back to bed. Have yet to decide.

Paul’s Stainless Goblet

Yes and yes!!  “The Steel Pint is a stainless steel pint glass, sans glass. It’s built to take a beating without shattering and will happily carry 16 fluid ounces of your favorite tasty beverage.”  Paul also has two new colors added to their bottle openers “There’s a bottle opener on one end, a 15mm brake spring adjuster on the other, and 56g of cool 6061 aluminum in between.”  You can pick up both items for less than $40!  A sick stainless pint glass and a tool to adjust your breaks/open your beer!!  WIN WIN!!  Very nicely done Paul, my hats off to you!  Cheers!!

Lundberg Loses It from Kenny Luby on Vimeo.

State Bicycle Co. announced yesterday that they “signed professional downhill skater, bike messenger, and all around Swedish badass Erik Lundberg!”.  This video is awesome!  It takes a lot of focus and big cojones to dominate the downhill!  I’m very excited to see this sweet combo of State and Lundberg come together!  Ride x Create my friends!!

Loyalty and Blood

Stole this photo from Tijon.  He captured me cracking a Brooklyn East IPA at about 11:00 a.m.  Clearly I wasn’t ashamed!  Anyways, the purpose of me posting this incriminating photo is to show off my sweet Loyalty and Blood shirt!  I really dig their hand drawn style.  The “shield face” tee reminded me of The King of Folly.

“Originally from Austin, Texas, David and Maggie moved to New York City to complete their masters’ degrees in fine arts at The School of Visual Arts. The two fell in love with the energy of the city and being involved in a community of working artists. Soon after graduating, they found the demands of living in NYC required them to settle into unfulfilling day jobs. Witnessing the DIY ethic emerging in handcrafted products, the two looked to their printmaking and metalsmithing backgrounds to form a line of products.” – Loyalty and Blood
