Josh King lives in Seattle, where he commutes by bike every day, rain or shine. He switched to full-time single speed commuting in 2010. You can read his thoughts on going gearless at www.singlespeedseattle.com Given Seattle’s reputation for rain, it’s surprising how infrequently you really need a real, honest-to-goodness cycling rain jacket when commuting in-town….
We’ve just launched our final sale Ortlieb, Tubus and Racktime for 2011.

I have a Fat Bike in the bush of Alaska and have purchased a BOB Trailer. The standard fork is too short. My wheels are Surley endomorph 3.7, 26″. Will the long fork work with this set-up? Mounting a BOB Trailer fork is possible on some fat bikes but will generally requires modification to the…
Another satisfied customer: “I received my BOB Yak trailer and immediately hooked it to my Surly LHT and headed into Joshua tree national park for a test ride. I live by the entrance. Love it!”

Dutch Extreme Bike Commuting
I managed to forge a cycling purpose into a non-cycling vacation in August, 2011, using the brute force of a big-ass 1996 GMC camper van. Here are the posts: Vapid Transit, Snap Judgements, How to Blow $20 in Boulder, Public Art You Can't See from a Car, and How does your town say "˜No Bicycles?'…
Gabri Christa’s NYC Biking Story
We got in a pair of this interesting hybrid of panniers and a backpack called aBackTpack. As Ted was proudly showing off this amazing piece of innovation our entire staff worked hard on mocking him incessantly.

And I’m posting my notes and thoughts right here on our blog for all of you to read or more likely ignore right after thinking something like “there goes Josh rambling on again”.

Mapping Bicycle
A customer from Japan sent in this great photo of his twins in their new Burley Bee. The Yellow Gary Fisher with yellow parts looks great with the Bee. The Burley Bee is a great value at only $249.
The opposite sides of the bicycle technology spectrum collided the other day in my camera frame. While our Inventory Manager, Matt Irvine, had his new fixed gear Surly Steamroller rolled out for his ride home, I had rolled the A2B Metro out from the display ride to power me along the way.We both laughed seeing…
