one less car news

hello all,

today is black friday, so in honor of millions of people going out to spend their hard earned money, we thought it would be cool to stay at home and buy the easy way- online, so we're having a big sale! http://www.1lesscar.com/bf.html

we have decided to make the sale the whole weekend too, so if you're a fan of national buy nothing day, you can still participate in that and get in on the sale!!! all our shirts will be $12.99 the whole time- until sunday at midnight!!!

as an added bonus, we have collected an assortment of stuff to give away!!! if you spend $30.00 or more, you will be entered to win one of four prizes. we have a OLC painting done by my brother, a size large traitor shirt from our friends at traitor cycles, a copy of the b.i.k.e dvd, and a $25.00 gift certificate from us.

lets talk christmas- if you order after the sale- baring any crazy post office mess- you will get your order before christmas! if you hold off, all orders placed by dec. 18th will be there by christmas, and if you live outside the US, all orders placed by dec. 8th will be sent out in time for christmas. any questions you can email me cole@1lesscar.com

as you can all see we have updated our blog. thanx to our webguy brandon's hard work, i like what we have.
to the right are banner ads from a lot of our friends who have sent great stuff for us to review. plus, you will also notice the google ads...we need to pay some bills and to be honest they have some links to cool stuff.
you can now also follow our blog, and i'm going to start trying to update more often with stuff about bicycles, and not just me apologizing for taking too long to ship orders. to the left you will see our nav bar- use that to go and buy some of our gear!
thanx for looking at the site, and look for more improvements in the future!

i usually hate youtube videos but this is pretty great

I had a birthday a few days ago and my girlfriend gave me one of the best presents. She did some Internet research and found a thermos and water bottle cage that work together. You just push a button on the thermos- it flips open and you drink out of it like a cup. So now I can have hot chocolate when im freezing on my pedi-cab, or warm tea when I'm freezing from touring in the rain all day. And for all you coffee drinking commuters out there, its perfect!

update: i have had a few request for links to the thermos and water bottle cage,so here you go

Hello voters!

We have a few updates to let you know about. First off, we have 5 new reviews up this time! We reviewed some knickers from Swrve, a messenger bag from girl bike dog, our first full bike review of the Schwinn Madison, some lights from Monkey Electric, and some hand made panniers from Swift Industries. Check out all the reviews at http://www.1lesscar.com/reviews.html and buy some stuff from these guys.

Since shirt sales have been slowing down a little it's given us more time to find products to review. I have a small pile of bikes, shoes, bags, sleeping pads and lights to still test out, so look for them to be on the site in the near future.

On to other business we are getting dangerously low on socks- especially size large, so if you want some you better act soon!!! We won't have more until the spring.

Also, we still have a few long sleeve shirts and the sale is still going on!!! We were supposed to take it down last week, but I guess I'm feeling generous.

Last but not least, we have a few items that we are going to give away in a contest or something- we have an original painting by my brother, a shirt from Traitor Cycles, and the B.I.K.E. dvd. I'll email with details on how to win one of these!

I'm off to ride myself stupid on my pedicab at the Obaba victory party- should be fun! That's presuming he wins of course….ahh who am I kidding? Of course he's going to win!!!

Ride on!

Cole

people were going crazy, i had to stop and take pictures every few seconds...who knew
