Imagine – a non profit bike shop.
That’s a dream of mine. A shop of recycled bikes that people can afford. A shop with low end bikes for sale for people of all ages. Perhaps a sliding scale even. A program for under privileged kids. A place to come work on your bike, or just pay someone to do it for you Read the full article…
Bike porn
Stopped in at the local IBD yesterday and the owner was leaning up against his latest build. It looked so sweet I asked for pics to share because something like this needs to be appreciated.

Flailing around doing straight airs and wall rides can really break up an afternoon of corporate America. I always see some impressive Read the full article…
