WHOA!! Best looking bicycle I’ve seen since Firefly Bicycles All-Road Monster! Absolutely brilliant design and build.

Go to The Radavist and check out more of John Watson’s photos and info on this beautiful creation. 

Oh HAIL yeah!! Loose Nuts Cycles have some new rad gear in their online shop! Just picked up all three of these goodies.

Go to Loose Nuts Cycle and nab a tee, patch, bottle while you still can. 

Amped on getting out and getting caffeinated. As you know I love to go out and explore via those two wheeled speed machines. What better way to do that than to bring along a portable coffee lab. This is my first test run and everything worked out just fine! BUT… The MSR WhisperLite isn’t all that conducive to compact traveling.  Don’t get me wrong… it’s an amazing stove, I’ve had it for 13 years, but it’s time to dive deep into Snow Peak’s goodness.

I picked up the Snow Peak “Starter Kit” as it appeared to be the best option and I found it local. I’ve already ran the kit through its paces and have got to say WOW!! SUPER quick, simple, compact. I’ll be using it exclusively next weekend at Fall Creek Falls Tennessee State Park. Photos and review to come shortly after.

I had a few brief minutes to pop in and say hello to Andy and Ashley. I did my best to capture some profile shots of them in action on this Record Store Day. Amped to see everyone out. Bummed I didn’t get to stay longer.

If you’re in the North Alabama area definitely swing by Vertical House Records today. I promise you won’t be disappointed you did. 

How could you not love this! Matt Blease has mastered sa·tir·i·cal illustrations.

Diggin’ this from FTC!

DZR coming through with one solid Summer sneaker. Love these!

“About Mechanic Shoe:

Historically, sneakers have been a mark of our tribe, a product of our time, an outward reflection of context and culture. More than anything though, they can be beautiful works of art. The Mechanic, with it’s perforated vegan toe cap and ballistic nylon side panels makes for an unassuming California deck shoe with authentic classic status.

Features:

    –  NATURAL GUM RUBBER: Natural rubber is sticky, durable and provides optimum grip on a variety of surfaces.

    –  VARIABLE FLEX SHANK: DZR’s feature technology A full-length nylon mid-sole/shank designed with strategically mapped stiffness for a combination of power transfer while pedaling and flexibility for walking.

    –  VEGAN: Keeping animals happy, one shoe at a time.”

Go to DZR and check the Mechanic Shoe out. If you’re in the market for a solid shoe to get you in and out of your daily pedaling shenanigans you just found it.

I LOVE working night moves… Capturing all that is good in the dark creates a challenge. I have accepted that challenge!

I mean… SERIOUSLY!!! On ALL levels!!
