If you’ve learned anything about us from our slew of posts it’s that we have an affinity for biking and also for knocking back a few cold ones. Now, we don’t do the two at the same time but since we do need to transport said beer on our bikes from time-to-time we’ve been stuck with the dilemna of whether ... continue reading
So you've got a bike. Maybe it's brand-spanking new, or maybe you finally finished the blood, sweat, tears and money fueled ordeal that is a bike overhaul. The point is, it's here; it's perfect, and you want to take it out. You plan the trip, and set off into the unknown with a buddy. You might be able to cope without ... continue reading

If you live in the city and store your bike on the wall all Jerry Seinfeld-like you’ve probably already realized you can toss your jacket on the hanging handlebars seeing as how storage space is at a premium. Well, you know what would create even more space? Removing the bike. For the same active appeal of ... continue reading
You’ve most likely been searching for a vehicle to ride around your World War II military base for a while now. It can be so difficult to find, right?! What with modern day ninja bikes and customized choppers flooding the market and, oh yeah, the war being over for 60-plus years. Okay, so you don’t need to ... continue reading
Ever since we were little kids we have loved tricycles. It's like having a bike with the safety net of training wheels, without the funny looks you get from being the only 10 year old who still has training wheels. Motorized tricycles are no different. Has anything bad ever come from strapping an enormous engine on ... continue reading
Biking while intoxicated, or BWI (we pronounce it bwheeeeeee), is serious business. When you're lit and you're on any amount of wheels you're a danger to everyone around you. More importantly, you're also a danger to yourself. Sure, it sounds like fun at first, but then you end up crashing into a brick wall or street ... continue reading
There comes a time in every man's life when he realizes that there are times to pinch pennies and there are times to apply for those "junk" credit card offers you get every other day. Picking up a Vanhulsteijn bicycle is one of those times where it's ok to disregard APR's and mortgages and just click the buy button. ... continue reading
If you are unfamiliar with Rapha they produce top of the line biking gear, so when they decided to make the foray into actually manufacturing bikes they wisely turned to some of the leading frame builders around. It’s like a celebrity deciding to create their own clothing line and getting Paul Smith to help out ... continue reading
We spend more time with our bikes than we do with our significant others on a regular basis. They call it unhealthy obsession; we call it liberation. Sooner or later though - regardless of how well we take care of them - they're going to reach the end of their life. We'll shed a tear, and then we'll move on. Matt XXXX ... continue reading
Tough. Lean. Fast. True. Before you stop reading for fear that this is going to turn into an online dating description, hear us out. Those four little words are actually the perfect description for the new Confederate C3 X132 Hellcat Motorcycle. Let's get mathematical on the specs: 132 cubic inch 56 degree square-twin; ... continue reading
Remember Minion from the game Twisted Metal? The thing could take a pounding but it was slow, dull and beat-up. Well, this Minion is the exact opposite. Using only domestically sourced materials, the Minion from Autum is a built to order bike that combines class and utility. Autum, who is known for producing ... continue reading
You could slap a bottle opener on just about anything and make it better – a belt buckle, TV remote, baby stroller – but most of the time it’s more for a laugh than anything else. When you’re doing some real work, however, and you’ve got your toolset out, having a cold one in arm’s reach is pretty much ... continue reading
Sometimes in life there are little unforeseen benefits that come along with doing something you would have done anyway. Like that stick of bubblegum that came in a pack of Topps baseball cards. It didn’t matter how hard the gum was - usually immediate dental work was required - because you were buying the pack ... continue reading
There are plenty of products out there that rarely get used for their intended purposes. (Approximately, how many African Safaris have you taken that Hummer on?) That doesn’t mean, however, that those same products are not totally worth owning for your own selfish enjoyment. So, while you might not be taking ... continue reading
Kickstands are so fourth grade. You don't spend upwards of hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars on a sweet new bike and not shell out for some way to display it. You could hand it on the wall, ceiling, or somewhere in the garage using some crazy Rube Goldberg sort of contraption, but that's a lot of time and effort ... continue reading
