We like bicycling, obviously… We like science… We thought it would be great to celebrate the combination of the two by going back to our high school Chemistry 101 days and recreate the periodic table of elements with our own cycling twist. We’ve replaced all elements in each groups and period with a bicycling related term, part, phrase, or just biking slang… For example element number 72 – F (Francium) has become element 'Fred' or 50 –Sn (Tin) has now fittingly become the ‘Bike Snob’… We’ve got pretty much every discipline covered from mountain and road biking, to cyclocross, to professional cycling. We racked our bicycling brains to get each cycling element just right to create our table. Hopefully this pic is HQ enough for you to see the detailed fruits of our labor and read all 112 new cycling elements. We’re slightly proud of this one ourselves which took some serious photoshopping and decided to even make this one into a shirt… If you really like it too you can check out our t-shirt in our store here.
We've made a fun little visual map of the US with the 'best' colleges for cycling broken down by state. We used mainly the data from The League of American Bicyclists but wasn't available for all 50 states. For those remaining states, we did our own very 'exhaustive' independent internet research to fill in the gaps.
Unfortunately, not everyone has a nice spacious garage to store their pretty bike or if you’re like most cyclists, bikeS… Or even worse, their city garage may be prone to bike thieves who want to help you prematurely part ways with your two wheeled companions. What is a biker to do? Protect those babies inside and use them to decorate your house at the same time. We made a little list of some ideas that may be your solution. And of coarse, we recommend having a set of BikeWrappers on that top tube to protect your bike from scratches...
