Bike Day LA Trick Contest

This guy didn't make it into the final 3.......but I think he should have.

Bicycle Jeans

Now everything these days seems to be geared with dual duties. Just like these Oslosh bicycle jeans. I'm not really sure how I feel about them. I mean don't most guys who ride wear skinny jeans or shorts anyways? Anyways, what do you think? Of course they are only for dudes, cause girls don't ride right? I guess that's my biggest gripe about the company in general.

If you want to buy them check out their site here.

New Safety Stuff!

So everyone should be wearing a helmet... but if you don't like the way they look, or perhaps they aren't comfortable for you here's a solution! This beanie helmet by Ignite. Looks good and you can't even tell that you are protecting yourself!
(buy one here: http://www.ignitebeanies.com/)

Here's a great video showing how it works! Well only kind of...

P.S. This post is all thanks to Ryan the Bicycle Lion.

Firstly...

Sorry I've been MIA with the updates. Retail is busy this time of the year... Anyhow I wanted to thank everyone that was out at Bike Day 3 yesterday! We had a great turnout and it seemed like everyone has a good time! Here's a little teaser of some pictures I got at the event. I plan on doing a post of just web addresses to everyone's pictures so keep your eyes peeled!

Make a Giggle!

Put a smile on your face!




Bicycle Pornography

Totally safe for work.
Just make sure you wipe up your drool.








If This Doesn't Inspire You...

Then I don't know what will. I need to not only get a helmet asap, but once I do I will never ride without one... This is Rebecca Rae's story:


"starting at 6.30p. august 15th, i started in an alley cat bicycle race around the city i love and hate, birmingham, alabama. i was making excellent time, i was on my way to my 4th stop within 20 minutes. i was making a turn onto 14th street on my way to my 4th stop, then i don’t remember anything…

until i was riding in the back of an ambulance to UAB’s emergency. i was told i was going too fast as i hit a bad patch of pavement, and went head first over my handle bars landing directly on the crown of my head. i suffered a seizure at the sight, road rash along my left side, a black eye, and a major concussion. i was placed immediately into UAB’s NICU ( neural intensive care unit) and went into surgery early monday morning to have two sub-dermal hematomas removed to relieve a dangerous pressure on my brain, the procedure is called a bi-frontal craniotomy.

i am however, really lucky. as it has only been 5 days i am home, walking, talking, and am able to function. there are so many people who end up losing motor or brain function. i am extremely blessed.

i wasn’t wearing a helmet though i should have been.
please, if you ride a bike, for the sake of your life and mine, wear a helmet."

Adidas Gets It...

Now the rest of the driving world needs too.
Far too often bikers are hit because people in their cars are doing everything but what they are supposed to do, pay attention and drive. These new Adidas shirts will hopefully raise awareness as well as look stylish. Go support them and buy one from the Adidas online store!

Picture Post!

So sorry I've been mia! It's getting crazy around here!!! Here's some pictures I've been saving to post!
