KMC in Mexico


La Ticla, Mexico, Dec. 8, 2008
Under a long roof of tinder dry, sun baked palm fronds, sitting on a white plastic table beside a giant bottle of tequila was KMC's winter issue. 
I had biked to MEC on Main St. in Vancouver three times in hopes of getting a copy  before leaving for Mexico but it wasn't out yet. After two weeks, a gun point robbery, a shaman in the trees, and some nice fucking waves I found it in a small town on the Pacific Coast. Nelsonites - they're everywhere. Andale.

Babes on Bikes


I'm doing a bunch of research on the bicycle right now. I'm putting together the Kona catalogue (konaworld.com) and we're featuring a story on bicycle commuting. Crazy that 1% of American commuters use the bike to get to work. Crazy because the bike is the most efficient machine ever invented. An apple can get you 20 kilometres. Anyway, if you've ever been to Copenhagen know that bikes rule. One third of all urban trips are made via bicycle. And because there's so many babes in Copenhagen, there's tons of babes on bikes. Which makes bikes even more cool. In my research I came across this blog hosted by Copenhagen Cycle Chic. Check it out at copenhagengirlsonbikes.blogspot.com. Beauty. The babe and the bike. Two beautiful things quietly making their way through the world.
