office chair all crashed up and sad looking on Truman Ave

This is an example of when drunken office chairing goes wrong. We've all been a little irresponsible before, in our younger years with drinking and operating office chairs. Some of our three of four readers may remember the first office chair post advocating for cyclists to open their hearts and bike racks to our office … Continue reading office chair all crashed up and sad looking on Truman Ave

more exciting coca-cola crate pictures

Cookies! I took this while camping at Burlingame State Park in Rhode Island and commuting to the beaches every morning. As seen here, the crates work quite well to carry an assortment of beach sundries including cookies. I really like cookies! The cool thing about camping here is Blue Shutters beach and miles of preserved … Continue reading more exciting coca-cola crate pictures

score!

I spotted a healthy stack of low sided plastic crates curbside on trash night a few weeks ago and scooped them up with an awed quickness. Why did someone toss these out!?!?! And how has nobody taken them yet!? Lucky timing for me. These are my favorite style and they work really well mounted to … Continue reading score!

sometimes it’s a really good idea to totally ignore what mom tells you to do!

As awesomely great as that story was, it was only a small part … Continue reading sometimes it’s a really good idea to totally ignore what mom tells you to do!

I have a foam sword and its pretty much the greatest thing ever

Well, until today. Tonight I took off the basket and riser bar and replaced them with a simple bullhorn and removed my rear fender. I have been rocking the sword for weeks now. Its great deterrent to stumbling drunk tourists in the middle of the street and really nice for spanking! The basket shall soon … Continue reading I have a foam sword and its pretty much the greatest thing ever

The Soilder Ride

A large group of cyclists from the Soldier Ride passed through Key West a few weeks ago. Max and I put a note on the door, locked up the shop and walked down the block to Eaton Street to greet and cheer everyone arriving on quite an array of two and three wheeled cycles. The … Continue reading The Soilder Ride
