top tube pads & toaster ovens
May 15, 2013

I don’t live in that apartment anymore. The cat died a few years ago. I sold the Bridgestone to Brian and he destroyed it. But I still have the toaster oven, the top tube pad and the grey 600 dual-pivot calipers.

it was cool
until it wasn't
he asked if he could crash on the couch
eleven and a half months later he's still here
now we have an unspoken agreement
we don't speak
the disparity makes me queasy between
what you say what you mean

today is Skunk's 17th birthday
where were you in 1996?
I was riding urbanized mountain bikes and then I got my first real full retail road bike often wearing an empty messenger bag and Diadora spd shoes on Onza clipless pedals for the 8-block ride to spend countless hours sitting on a barstool at a brew pub just-opened on the fringes of Capitol Hill that served up imperial pints at a reasonable price featuring a limited food menu and very few customers with a free pool table and a dart board in the corner. Greg chicken-tractor Vogel was a barback.

don’t need bike-to-work month printed on the calendar to dust things off and ride to work and don’t need any spandex carbon fibers oriented in a racing roadie matrix either

Hey Matt Case, per your request, here is the pilderwasser logo. You can also find it on the sleeve of your T-shirt. If you need a pdf or some kind of vector jpeg shit, it might take an additional 7 to 10 working days.
PS the pedalers fair is this weekend in Seattle and I know you're in Portland but I'm no longer just talking to you. I'm talking to you plural, if you're in the area code, check it out.

RedKev photo
don’t go back to rockville
waste another year
working in a bike shop
to quiet the monkey mind
the old is now new
the retro neo
now a factory in china
pumps out cheap neo-retro knockoffs
nowhere near the original
a trend a circle a cycle
a bicycle rolls
as smooth as frozen glass
as smooth as tim mason
coming back around again
call it what you will
shimano wants you to call it 27.5
i call it horseshit
