ps damn i probably should not post about how crappy of a job i did...might turn people off to us right?


pss i dont really smoke crack.

to everyone who ordered sale shirts.

i'm a dick and didn't thing about the long delay for thanksgiving, i have been printing non stop for the last two days and tomorrow derek and i are going to take our very overstuffed bags to the post office. you should see your orders by the end of the week.i'm hoping you will read this before email and yelling but if you need to vent i feel i deserve it. next time we have a sale i will plan a little better because we got a ton of orders. thanx to everyone who ordered and once again sorry for the delay.

The Spokes, an all-woman all-bike-loving bicycle dance troupe, and they are currently blowing up in England. I recently had the chance to catch their show in Manchester and spend a few days with some of the girls from the group. After staying with them and seeing the show I can earnestly say that their recent fame is well deserved.

I came into contact with Nes of the spokes after posting a bulletin on the O.L.C. myspace page before i set out on a two month tour of Europe, looking for people to meet, things to do, and places to stay. Nes came threw and hooked me up with all three. She picked me up at the bus station, lent me a bike and took me on a tour of Manchester, introduced me to her amazing community, and cooked up some tasty vegan food.

If you have a chance to see the spokes live you don't want to miss out, and for everyone not fortunate enough to see the real thing here is a video, and a link to their, myspace http://www.myspace.com/thespokesmcr

thanks again to Nes and everyone in Manchester. Hope to be back soon, and if you ever make it to Chicago and need a place to stay look me up.

wow! we must be getting cooler then i ever thought we would. i just got some cool new stuff to review,ortlieb sent a backpack to check out and alien bikes sent us and new set of cranks a bottom bracket and a stainless chain. thanx to both companies for the stuff! we will have full reviews in a few weeks after we test theses things out

i just got my hair cut by kim at Art + Science in Wicker Park and realized that i should let everyone know how rad she is and everyone should go get their hair cut by her. there are a few reasons you should go: first, she does sweet hair. second, she rides her bike to work everyday and third shes derek's sister so you know she's cool. so call and make an appointment (773)227-4247 she would be so stoked!

so i decided to do bag reviews. these are the first to show up. on the left is a bag from transit and the on the right is one from reload. look for full reviews and pics in a few weeks.


p.s. got my computer back and its all good.

i knew i should have bought a mac. my computer has crashed and im sending it in to get fixed, so if you email me and i don't get back to you right away please be patient. i will do my best to respond to everyone.

thanx
