About 20 years ago, I bought some golf pants at Value Village and cut them off into shorts. I gave the cutoff scraps to those guys down at DANK bags and they made me a roadmaster coozie and a top tube pad. I’d like to think I paid those guys in beer. I rocked all three components all at once, at least once for this photo at 1215 4th in 2007. That roadmaster was real, before noon. Sincerely for real really. Like it's 2007 at 1215 4th. Like Tom Bice said, "you're the one telling them how it is"
Those shorts are long gone, that coozie was given to someone somewhere sometime somehow. But the toptube pad is still rolling.
September 16th is international take your 20 year old toptube pad to work day. So that’s what I did today.
The toptube pad came out of hiding over the weekend when I took a truckload of old bike parts and accessories to BikeWorks. A metric shitton. One man’s junk is just a BikeWorks Warehouse employee’s headache.
I can see clearly now the junk is gone
I can can see all old bike parts in my way
There’s floor space in the garage that I haven’t seen for years and years. Room to move.
