The Bakery: Child’s Play
03.27.2013 //
Some of the guys at my local bike shop have embraced winter, not with skis or snowboards, but with toys made for children: GT Snow Racers. Instead of tuning up their bikes after work while lamenting the weather, they work on their sleds, adding custom parts, reinforcing the frames, bending plastic, and shimming steer tubes with pieces of beer cans.

Exclusive: 2013 Bible Review – Kona Operator
03.11.2013 //
Calling a bike ‘vanilla’ is usually an insult, but inthe case of the Kona Operator, it’s just the opposite. This bike is plain, simple and durable, and these traits are exactly why we loved it.

The Bakery: The Other FrostBike
03.06.2013 //
This past weekend, over a hundred racers took part in FrostBike and wound up performing something akin to Bambi on ice. I, myself, spent two days falling down the ski hill, trying to capture some of the action, and not get spotted while peeing in the trees.

The Bakery: Must Love Bikes
02.21.2013 //
While the bike industry may need more signatures over high-fives, we do not need them at a cost to our culture. Our character flaws and dysfunctions are what make our world desirable. We do not follow the formula or fit the cookie cutter mold of the business world…and that’s a good thing.
Feature: The Escape–Day 12–Roll Call
02.20.2013 //
It’s not over yet, but we figured that we should reflect a little on the trip before we all evaporate into our own lives again. We also figured it was about time we introduced the members of The Escape.
