Cool Bike Shwag
Posted 2 months, 3 weeks ago at 6:24 am. 7 comments
I’m becoming a city biker. I love it. I’ve always loved biking, and when I bought my bike a month or so ago I promised myself I would ride it every day, and I do. I ride it to and from work every day, which turns out to be a little over 9 miles round trip, and try to ride long distance on the weekends as well.
I have a timbuk2 laptop commuter bag which is technically my first bit of cool biker shwag. I got it a few months ago right after I moved down to Hawaii. I just stumbled upon some REALLY cool Zero Per Gallon (ZPG) stickers online and ordered a handful. I also ordered a rad biker belt made o bike inner-tubes. The picture above (stolen from the site, I don’t get pwnt for stealing that image) shows a Kryptonite ulock in the cool inner-tube belt. I struggled for a few days to find a nice place to keep my ulock but found the top loop on the timbuk2 bag does a pretty good job.
That’s a shot of the totally uber-rad sticker that I ordered. Should be here soon, and then I’ll slap it right onto my bike frame :) It will match my yellow water bottle cage and yellow State of Hawaii bike registration sticker. The bike is all black, so I am going for the Black/Yellow look. It’s purely coincidental, but my timbuk2 bag is also black with yellow stitching. Rad.
Check out the Zero Per Gallon site here. Order some cool goodies!
pimptastic. esp the sticker. i thought that was for real for like 2 seconds i was like :O no fuckin way. anyways u should take a picture of your bike i wanna see it beezy.
I wish I could do the same when commuting to work but if I did, I would have to leave at least 2hrs before starting, lol. Nevertheless, I enjoy the whole physical activity of biking as well. I consider it my cardio over the summer when I get lazy to go to the gym. I would really like this bike though.
Pretty sweet.
How do u do groceries and stuff?
Thanks for the link, from a fellow cyclist (and proud of it, dammit). Gotta love 0.00 mpg ^_^
That should definitely be dollars per gallon, not mpg (though both are true). Whoopsies…
Really cool stickers. I actually just got finished watching a doc called “The End of Suburbia” about how we really ought to ditch the whole car culture because the world doesn’t have the energy supplies to support it (and hydrogen energy is a total joke). Living in Waikiki, it’s been great not to have to be saddled to a car, and I started thinking I could probably live the rest of my life without one if I thought carefully about where I lived. I actually miss my bike more than my car. Need to remedy that soon :-)
I just realized that bumper sticker kinda doesn’t make sense.
And if you’re drinking bottled water then it is actually more expensive than gas $/gal wise.
But it’s a cool idea nonetheless.
