Do you really need another reason to come into the shop? You don’t, I can answer that for you, so consider this a little bonus. Punch Cards. Take note you don’t have to buy anything, just come in and get your stars punched. Sweet Prize? I am sure you are wondering, more on that to come, promise. One more thing, only one punch per visit. This is more for us then for you as we have a tendency to get down right carried away with the high fives. Amanda is currently being treated for R.H.F.S. or repetitive high five syndrome, and it is so contagious. The excitement is making me weak in the knees.
I know she has the looks, the smarts, and the body but Amanda isn’t the only person with fans across the proverbial pond. As it so happens I have a article coming out in the next issue of The Ride
I am currently booked on… the 27th, though I will be over in London, I will be spending most of my time with William helping to organize his stag party. I mean a Royal bachelor party, sure The Ride is an amazing collection of art and writing and of course I am honored to be in it but you try telling the future king of England that you are going to have to miss his one and only (fingers crossed) bachelor party because you are going to be receiving accolades from the bicycling literary elite. It just doesn’t work that way, I consider myself rather selfless and a devoted friend not to mention the perks of a having a royal favor in your pocket. I am passing on this invitation to you, my extended family, holding hands across America, holding hands around the world.

James Wilson has dropped a new video on us, and I have to say we look very very good. Reference’s of note: Maxell ad, The Graduate, Marathon Man, Days of Thunder, Police Academy 5, James Brown, Darth Vader, Ian McShane, Carey Elwes, Bo Derrick, Thunder in Paradise, Stephanie Seymour, Van Morrison, Camelot, Fandango, The Yellow Voltron Tiger, Spring, Hope, Alpe d’Huez. Whats more is that this bike when done is nothing less than rolling perfection. ROLLING PERFECTION. Its true we love what we do, come by, say Hi, High Five, and give your two wheeled pedal powered sidekick a healthy dosing of Awesome. Hearts 21st.
Yesterday we received our pre season Giro order and these were highlight, for sure. If biking isn’t your thing they’d make some pretty bad ass driving gloves or if you’re a villain and afraid of leaving fingerprints, these are what you need.
I always knew there was something a little off with Kyle, but I had no idea he was the Portland Headtube Strangler. You think you know a guy. It could go the other way too. These aren’t just for villains . They could also be action hero gloves.
If long fingered isn’t your thing, we’ve got that covered with these road gloves. Still just as bad ass as their long fingered counterparts, but in a different way. The biker pit fighting kind of way.
I love how his gloves in that scene are there one second then gone the next…. again and again.
What’s that? You didn’t know Kyle was a biker pit fighter as well? Beware his back flip punch. Here’s a fun fact: Brian Bosworth, while preparing for this role, learned the back flip punch from Kyle at his training camp in Bishop, Hard Edge Hard Heart. Brian also mimicked Kyle’s blond mullet,or the unbridled avalanche as he liked to call it, but KV has been dying his hair black with Just For Men since the 90′s to match the color of his pit fighting gloves. I guess there isn’t a big market for blond gloves.
