Timbuk2 Especial Tres Cycling bag in blue
My all-time favorite cycling and all-purpose backpack, the Timbuk2 Especial Tres Cycling backpack, now comes in a new blue and red colorway. I've got the all-black one which comes with tons of hidden reflective features and the blue one is just the same. 1 great bag now in 2 great colors. And if you buy right now, free shipping!
The perfect bicycle bell by Spurcycle
My brother Simon gave me this Spurcycle bike bell back in December and I've been using it on my track bike for the past month or so. It's loud, elegant looking, compact, and best of all, the Spurcycle Bell is super easy to install.
I love the small footprint of this bell on my handlebars and would easily recommend this to other cyclists who are looking for a quality-made bicycle bell. Oh, and it's made in the USA too!
Cinelli MASH Work frame with internal rear cable routing
I love this Cinelli MASH Work frame not just for its raw finish, but also for that internal rear cable routing for brakes. This one is a collaborative built by John Prolly and Golden Saddle Cyclery. The standard MASH Work frame is already amazing, they just took this one to 11.

American Giant's water resistant Storm Full Zip Hoodie
The weather has been really weird in NYC lately. Today it hit 60 degrees and looking out my window onto a sunny street, I thought it'd be a great time to go for a bike ride. Well, the sun surely lied. It ended up raining fairly consistently all afternoon and I was out only in a hoodie.
The whole time I was thinking, man, American Giant's water-resistant storm hoodie would have been great today. Instead, I was wearing their regular full zip hoodie which is warm as hell, but ended up soaking in some water. I'm pretty sure it smells now. Thanks, weather.
Mott Street Cycles: Mid-Winter photoshoot
Yesterday morning, in real-feel 1-degree temperatures, me, Zane, and Cory ventured underneath the West Side Highway onramp on Manhattan's West Side to shoot some quickies for Mott Street Cycles. It was my first time working with Zane but I think he pulled off everything quite well given the freezing temperatures and the insane wind we had to battle in that wind-tunnel.
We arrived early and the light was just right for the full-reflective jacket from MSC to light up without any strobe. It looked great! Then we all shot, shot, shot and got the hell out of there to get some delicious doughnuts at Underwest Doughnuts.
Here are some photos.
