“We found out that we shared a common path to working in a bike shop: As young boys we loved riding our bikes and drawing. We found jobs working in bike shops. After a few too many years of turning wrenches, we decided that art school was a good idea. We each graduated with degrees in Fine Art Painting, and realized we were perfectly equipped for working in a bike shop.

Signal Cycles was born out of the creative fire that burns in each of us. We love using our hands and brains to build beautiful machines that get raced on, or ridden to exotic places. Bicycles are in our blood.” – Signal Cycles

Super refreshing company!  This reminds me of Kyle and I as we have traveled down the road we are currently on.  The Ride x Create Vibe flows deep with Signal Cycles! I really dig their passion and artistic expression.  Turning your dreams and vision into reality is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever experienced!  Great work Signal Cycles!

BAM!! Shirt swap success! I’ve easily picked up my average by at least 2 miles mph since I’ve been wearing TRAFIK’s “Catch My Draft” Tee. Hopefully TRAFIK will benefit as much with the Ride x Create Vibe we sent their way with our Folly Pocket Tee !! Ride x Create my friends!!

Couldn’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.

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!!
