Few bike accessories are sweeter than a custom headbadge. And contrary to popular belief, I actually do need some badges.

In an effort to fly the DC freak flag a little higher, we went to the best in the business, and had some made up. Jen Green is an extremely talented artist that specializes in blinging out your frame with custom, handmade headbadges. Have a look at her Instagram to see all of the awesomeness she has created. There is even a series of photos documenting the process of making the DC badges. Including these beauties right here for me!
They are badass and made of bronze. Kinda like other pieces of classic art…
Except way cooler. You can add a little art to your party and grab one HERE. They are $75, which is considerably more than a t-shirt or a hat. But as my buddy Joey likes to say “good work ain’t cheap and cheap work ain’t good”

I’m pretty sure the “stinking badges’ line originally appeared in the film, “The Treasure of the Sierra Madres”.
yeah, but I think it is funnier in Blazing Saddles.
Funnier? Yeah, I suppose, but look at the cast-Martin, Chase and Short. Individually they could get yuks out of just about any material. Hell, I bet even a phone book. Together? Fuggeddaboutit.
Still, there would be no context were it not for the classic.
I’m with TriplleT on this one… That was the best 5 minutes and 18 seconds of my day and I even rode the Straggler to work!
Thems some sweet fucking badges too.
I vote for DC belt buckles. Put me down for one in silver….
Bikes and coffee combined ??
I’m in love !!!!
