  • If you’ve got a few things to sell, it might be worth sharing a space with someone and splitting the costs.

    20×20 space = $30 per space donation
    10×20 space = $15 per space donation
    10×10 space = $10 per space donation
    6 foot table = $15 per table

    All proceeds benefit the SFBC. Trips for Kids will also be collecting bicycle donations. There will also be workshops and a raffle.

  • Yuen'To's Music Balloon Portable Speaker

    Leave it to the Japanese to design something cute, yet functional- So Cute!!!

    Yuen’To’s new Music Balloon is perfect for a quick jaunt on the bicycle where headphones are a no-no. Actually, this little guy will give you 5 hours of music on a two hour charge and is only 55mm (a little over 2 inches for you non-international types) in diameter. It also works in any device that has a mini speaker jack. All packed into a 7 watt speaker that looks a little like a clown nose (in a good way).

  • Zos Jack Taylor Curvy Low Profile

    Zo's Jack Taylor Curvy Low Profile

    Zo made it out to Mike’s Breakers to Bay race this Sunday on his curvy ST Jack Taylor low profile Time Trial bike (whew, mouthful). This is an odd, but interesting frame. A bit ironic as well. Like and old man dressed like “Bad” era Michael Jackson. It’s weird for me to see the hand painted Taylor logo, box lining and all the classic British elements on the 80’s craze known as LoPro. Don’t get me wrong, I would own it in a second because it’s pretty damn unique. Thus worth sharing.

  • An artistic still life on my living room floor, made by the folks of CycleZine! The chair-base, stem, and bars have each been given to me by my friends, and fellow blog-writers here. A collection I’m quite proud to share: 

    Sean, William, Puck, Brian

    Sean, William, Puck, Brian

    The stem comes from William.  Early last spring we all converged on Dolores Park for an impromptu bike swap.  I was unemployed and hopeful, and William made a wonderful gesture by presenting me with the gift of a steel Cinelli Pista stem.  The nice one, the one I’d wanted for — oh, around nine years or so!  The one last touch on my bike that I’d never been able to indulge myself enough to purchase.  It was a nice sunny day, and I was blown away to be handed such a present.

  • We all ride bikes.  We all love art.  We all drink coffee.  How can we combine these three seemingly separate worlds? 

    Mafac Cantilever

    Very easy!  Just show up to Jeff Hantman’s art show on May 14th, 2009.

    Jeff is a main factor behind the wonderful operation here in San Francisco known as De La Paz Coffee, a small roaster who happens to share space with several of our bike friends (Chuey, Pass/Stow Racks, etc).  What makes De La Paz even more amazing though, aside from their small batches and absolutely amazing beans, is the fact that we get our delivery via bicycle.  Yep, that’s right - once a week or so, Jeff shows up to my office as well as countless others, and delivers 10 pounds of some seriously amazing beans.  This past drop, Jeff had something much lighter to hand over - a nice postcard with one of his paintings on the front of it.
