lets all cool it

it's crazy how quickly we get out of control. sure it's important to have low emissions fuels - enter bio diesel. now the demand for ethanol is probably one of the main culprits for global rises in food prices. Mexico is about to go through yet another tortilla price increase and people are already living on about $5 a day.

so what can we do? we can ride our bikes. but that too gets to be out of control real quick like.

take this little biddy as an example. it's a "24 carat gold bicycle, commissioned by the UK's Environmental Transport Association, is on sale for £9,500. It has an optional extra of a security guard, as bicycles over £4,000 cannot be insured."

stop the goddamned bus!

back up.

what? a 24 carat fixed gear bike with a flat front tire and bull horn bars? everyone knows that if you're not running 8 inch wide risers with Oury grips you ain't pushin shit. this thing would get disqualified in the hipster Olympics.

OK back to work now.

The waves are on a long holiday European style. I have not surfed in one month!

it really is like Europe in Canada. did you know mum's can get one year of maternity leave here? try 6 weeks in the states.

I'll leave you a clip of a bike ridin Texan by the name of Chase Hawk. I like bicycles. All of them -but the gold plated ones are just a waste of human decency.

like the fixed riders this guy has no brakes.
