In my unending hunt for new shirts (coming up on probably 50+ shirts at this point) I unearthed these rather amusing gems:
If you’re also interested you can get the shirts at Glennz Tees.
Here’s a quick look at some bygone shades that were the epitome of cool when they came out. Just like the wayfarer, can we cross our fingers that at least one of these will make a comeback?
ze goggles zey do nothing!

without these goggles, red laser beams would shoot from his eyes, destroying the peloton in a fiery heap
and of course the ultimate hip accessory: The wayfarer. Here is Adam looking SO COO. BTW that crumpler phone/camera case was won for an excellent earned DFL prize at last year’s July 4th scavenger hunt which we guided him in for. It included several stops and rounding up the lost stragglers. SO COO!

Another rad photo of John, from TX, looking especially COO
SO COOL
Keep your stunna shades on. Wear your sunglasses at night so you can so you can.
Or just buy yourself some cheap sunglasses.
I’m sure we have all seen the chain ring wall clocks but take a look at this thing:
The chain rotates as time passes with an emphasis on “the cyclical nature of time”. It reminds me of the older style school room bells that haunted my youth.
If you want to give a really wild Christmas gift you can buy it here.
The cycling scene depends upon a few key community organizers. If only these few people really knew how crucial they were to the fate of the cycling hobby in the city. Still, each of these organizers represent different disciplines in cycling: Road, Track, Mountain, Fixed, BMX. They are often unknown outside of their discipline and area of expertise. To a Mountain rider, the Road racing star is just another leg shaver in spandex. To the Roadie, the Fixed gear freestyle master, featured in videos internationally is just another kid with technicolor wheels and no helmet.
Stop. Wait. Step back for a moment: Each of these riders is different, but to the outsider, they all together represent cycling. They are all members of a two-wheeling, human-powered collective. But to each member, they are practiced disciples of their trade, separated by canyons. Out of these islands, Highflange was born.
What is Highflange? A type of bicycle part. A hub. A device from which spokes are laced to the rim. Though each spoke laces far away from the opposite spoke at the edges of the flanges, and reaches even farther away to hold the rim, the fringe, they are all connected at the hub. Highflange will cover all aspects of bike life, starting from its birth city in Houston, TX and radiating outwards through collaboration efforts in the cycling community. We are all members of the same sport. We are all connected at the hub of bicycle life: High Flange.
