Market Ride April 14 2013, 0 Comments
Spring is here and the farmer's markets are fantastic, it is a good thing the bike limits the amount I can bring home. The down side of spring on the coast is the fog,
It has been hit of miss so far, but it really makes you appreciate the clear days we had earlier in the week.
T-Shirt Sale April 13 2013, 0 Comments
We are moving out what is left of the first batch of
square logo shirts at $10 each to make room for the next shirt project. They were going pretty fast over night, as of typing this there were still some L and XL left.
The first batch already shipped out, front and rear bags stuffed. You can get yours while they last by clicking on the photo! Thanks to all who bought in so far.
It is a tough job but somebody has to do it. Testing on the Rambler continues daily. The Rambler is my dream bike. I am the designer, engineer and lead test pilot. From every day stuff, distance rides to hauling loads of groceries up and down 10+% grades, I have and continue to do this. For well over a year now Rambler No.1 has served me well.
When you buy into a
Rambler or any of the components and accessories that I recommend, you can be assured they are the real deal. They are all things that I want, use and test myself to make sure they are up to the rigors of every day transportational riding and all road touring. My goal is to cut through the junk, offer you the gear that you need to get out there, with the confidence that it will work with you, as part of you and never let you down.
Another week of coffee outside, with the fog pulling back out to sea, warm spring weather is starting to set in, as I am enjoying the pour over with my new pot
It really is easier than you think and a lot more fun than doing it in the kitchen

It was just too nice outside, I needed to get out and take the long way home.
Coffee Ride March 27 2013, 0 Comments
With the fog rolling in I decided to head up into the hills for today's coffee ride
Another great way to recapture some time outdoors this morning.
Settling back into the routine of being home, and today was the usual farmer's market ride. The weather was sublime, spring has sprung with wild flowers in bloom, temps in the 60's and light breezes.
I took a break to brew up a mug of coffee after loading the bags with fresh food
and then the ride home, with a shot long time readers have seen time and time again
Yes the weather here is this good almost all of the time, we are really lucky for that, and while travel is great, it makes me appreciate being home all the more.

Things are starting to settle back in a bit after the two-week grand tour of the west coast. I met so many incredible people, made new connections, started some more awesome projects and could not have ever done so much without the help and support of my friends, both old and new. THANK YOU
I was able to make the last leg of the trip, over the Santa Barbara mountains while there was still some light in the sky. I captured this pic of another brand's namesake
And then got the grand view of ours after cresting the pass
I have hundreds of pictures to work through and a ton of thoughts to go with them on the blog. Stay posted, it is going to be a busy couple of weeks, both here and in the work shop.
It has been a busy and energizing trip up and down the coat to Seattle and now back to Oakland, with a few days left to go. I will start digesting a full report once I get home. At the Seattle Expo we had a drawing going for one of our leather
single pocket Makr wallets, and the lucky winner appears to be Kevin O..., I sent email and waiting to hear back on confirmation. These wallets are heading out as fast as I can make them, a good sign.
This whole trip has been incredible, so many positive people, tons of interest, laying the groundwork for retail placement of the Ramblers. It is going to take me at least a week to recover and tell the story in bite sized chunks. Until then, get out and ride! If you are in the bay area and might want to see the Ramblers before I am out of town again, drop me a line. In between sales calls and business there will be some riding time here in the East Bay.

ITS FUN!!!
