BMW was cool enough to invite us out to California for their 2013 Preview last week. It consisted of a swanky dinner with talk about their current projects and one awesome day at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. We’ll skip the dinner talk (we may have had a bit too much Woodford Reserve anyhow) and give you the run down on what it was like on the track. (Hint: It was awesome!) ... continue reading
There used to be a time when weekends meant grabbing a cold one and working under the hood of your car. Whether it was actual maintenance, upgrading parts or just generally avoiding family members, auto work was a man’s free time activity. For many, it’s a thing of the past, but the love affair we have with our ... continue reading

You probably already know the benefits of using whiskey stones instead of ice in your drink. Basically, they cool your drink without watering it down so you get all the flavor you expect at a bit more pleasant temperature. With these Icon Whiskey Stones, you can add a bit more fun to your boozing experience. Available ... continue reading
We hate seeing things go to waste. Instead of letting an old single-speed rot in a landfill somewhere, why not deconstruct that thing and salvage some of it? We’re not saying you have to do it yourself, you could just open up your wallet (the one made from an old inner tube) and buy some stuff to support the people ... continue reading
We dig the bikes VANMOOF makes so much that we don't mind saying such a goofy name every time someone asks us about them. The Dutch company recently unveiled their latest two wheeler and, needless to say, it's awesome. Sporting the classic minimal style you'd expect from a VANMOOF, the 5.7 is a seven gear ride with ... continue reading
Dodging cab doors and slow walking tourists might seem like the only concerns a bike messenger has while riding through the streets of NYC, but be prepared to delve far deeper into the world of two-wheeled delivery men thanks to Messengers. The documentary, which was filmed over the last 10 years, showcases a whole ... continue reading
What are you doing with all those empty cardboard boxes you have strewn across your garage floor? Probably breaking them down and tossing them on the curb every other Tuesday, right? Why not take a bit of inspiration from this vid and put those empties to good use. Building a whole bike looks pretty tough though, so ... continue reading
The Volkswagen Beetle was always a car that, until 2012, we thought we’d be incapable of owning. It’s too curvy, it has a spot for flowers and it’s just generally girly. Those are all qualities we like in our women, but not in our cars. Then, in 2012 it got a less bulbous redesign and some serious horsepower ... continue reading
There are certain things every man should have in his car. A pair of shades, a bunch of quarters and a beautiful copilot to name just a few. That being said, some of those necessities can easily be kept in your car’s trunk (we’d strongly advise against the third). If you’re looking for the perfect trunk, however, ... continue reading

Add too much in the way of accessories to your bike and you'll end up looking like one of those guys who transports his weekly haul to the market by way of bike-back. In an effort to trim down and sleek up your ride, a couple of things seem to be on the chopping block and a couple of things are obvious necessities. ... continue reading
Finding accessories for your bike that are as gorgeous as they are functional is often easier said than done. You don't pour your blood, sweat and tears into your whip to have it look like a piece of shit, so the aftermarket stuff you put on it has to be as durable and good looking as the canvas itself--without destroying ... continue reading
You know why we like the Tron bike? Safety. Well, actually cause it was insanely awesome, but you gotta admit, you'd be pretty safe riding that thing down the crowded streets of Manhattan. The way we look at it, you can never have too many lights when you're riding your single speed. Instead of digging out a pair ... continue reading
Beer and bikes go together like everything else in our world: pretty damned well. Don't operate them simultaneously, but enjoyed separately it's hard to beat the combo. After a long summer ride, nothing quenches your thirst quite like a quality shandy, but what if it's not a twisty? Whip out your keys? Find a flat ... continue reading
So you just laid out the cash on a new single-speed and you’re about ready to go dodge some cab doors and people walking hilariously tiny dogs, right? Well, before you hop on your saddle, take a look at what your new ride still needs. We mean, do you really want to try and balance a six-pack while steering with one hand? Here are a bunch of products that will help Hook Up Your Bike: 1. Blink/Steady Bike Light – ...... continue reading
Ingmar Beer is the greatest name any mother has ever given her son. But Beer is more than just a fantastic surname, he's a damned artisan. The former airplane mechanic turned his very talented hands, and eyes, to the traditional Alaia surfboards used by the ancient Hawaiians. Individually handcrafted out of paulownia ... continue reading
There are bikes we want and quickly buy, and then there are bikes we just plain want. This customized Need Supply Co. bike is one of the latter. At a cool $2,450 it isn't exactly a spur of the moment purchase (unless you're a rich dude with a penchant for showing off some biking spandex). Even though the price tag ... continue reading
