SERIOUSLY! That yellow accent nails it. Firefly Bicycles are true artisans of their craft.

“Mountain biking is what first got me into cycling way back.”

Same here, but I’ve not owned a legit MTB in many moons.  Watching a lot of people pick up a gnar shredding mountain machine makes me want to get back into it.

Go to Geekhouse and check out Marty’s Wormtown 29er build. This sucker is pretty rad!!

These are pretty rad. Go check’em out!

WANDER from Acre Supply on Vimeo.

This is absolutely brilliant! Dan can take one hell of a good photo. Very inspiring.

“Initially, the Wander project was inteded to be an experiment in product testing. Bring the Acre kit far from home and subject it to a proper beating, in a relentless way. Of course, this would all be documented in photos. But how to keep the photo project from interfering with the primary goal of product testing? This was our concurn. As the project took shape, we came to the conclusion that film photography would be the way to go for this trip.” – Mission Workshop

I totally agree. Below are my two favorite from the bunch:

Go to ACRE and check out the rest of Dan’s photos as well as the 75 page softcover book that you can pick up for $35. Enjoy!

THESE. ARE. RAD!!

Go to TOPO Designs and check out their new Ballistic Series bags. I seriously dig these.

Bend it like Bryant.

“There’s always more than one way to get it done.  This is how I bend my fork blades.  The fixture is in continual evolution as I build more, but there it is as of now.” – Joshua Bryant

“In collaboration with @topodesigns I am giving away these custom hand-drawn accessory bags + belt + patch to one lucky winner. All you need to do is leave a comment. The winner will be chosen in 24 hours.” – SteedZ

If you haven’t done this… you should.

This is a pretty rad combo!  I love how Mission Workshop connects with so may different folks to test and review their products. It shows how functional these Made in USA bags are. Cycling, traveling, commuting… MW nails it.

“We teamed up with FILTER Magazine and went on tour with San Francisco audio/visual artist Tycho, to document how Mission Workshop gear works in the world of the touring musician. At first glance, the idea of being on tour can seem wildly glamorous:  Late nights, different cities, fans that adore you…But look a little deeper and you’ll see that the reality of life on the road is very much to the contrary.  Though there are good times to be had, the majority of a touring musician’s life is spent in transition. Transition from city to city, venue to venue, and hotel to hotel. We outfitted Tycho with the best of our waterproof jackets and weatherproof bags, as well as couple new products that needed field testing. Scott Hansen (aka Tycho) fully embraced the project and was able to provide extremely valuable feedback to Mission Workshop. His feedback will be used to prototype future apparel and packs.

The Tycho x Mission Workshop x FILTER Magazine tour is culminating on November 29th in Tycho and Mission Workshops hometown of San Francisco with a performance at The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.  This will be the last tour stop for Tycho before the release of his new LP next spring.  Check out his early release single.” – MW

Have you seen these? Hot fire! The made in USA TOPO Designs Chambray Shirt is so good!  The subtle western styling on front and back make this a solid go to top for outdoor fun as well as city whiskey sippin. I hope you dig as much as I do.

THESE. ARE. SO. F-ING. GOOD!!
