King of the Mountains Sighting

Last year we made a limited run of Tour de France messengers. One year later, spotting one in the city is like seeing a double rainbow. They’re outrageously fun to see not because they evoke memories of this topless photo shoot, but because they pop against the city scape. I spotted one this morning on [...]

La Boulange Love

At our fabulous sales meeting at Fort Mason last week, Chris from the La Boulange has an awesome 10 year old messenger bag that he is sporting in the photo.

Anyone who knows San Francisco knows that summer doesn’t really exist here. Indian summer in September and October yes, but summer summer in July and [...]

The writer describes the wonders of the amazing new cog bicycle which was essentially the original fixie bike, as gears weren’t invented until 1905. Patented by PJ O’Connor, [...]

Mariachi Madness

Last night got a little rowdy in the office. Our reps were in town from around the world so we did what any respectable company would do. We rented a margarita machine, welcomed the local mariachis, hired a caricature artist, wrestled a bit, ate pupusas and socialized. There was a very naked poster of Jonny. [...]
