So I just want to say a couple thank yous.....
So as the wintertime is coming and more and more account are being made i really want to take some time to thank some really crucial and helpful people.
First and foremost i want to thank the community.. seriously from bartender telling people about us a over year ago when we were just working for tips.. all the way up will now with accounts, contract, and a business license we really couldn't have done it without you guys. So that goes out to the bartenders, the drunks, the stoners, and everyone else who helped our original food delivery really take off. (oh and for tipping so well.. haha.)
Another Key group i want to thank is our families and friends. You guys stayed by us when we made this epic choice to give up our old jobs to scrape by and ride bikes for a living.. but hey its working out right.?
And Who could forget our sponsors they are really helping us out in so many ways...
Bern Unlimited-These guys are amazing we've been working on deals with them for about 5 months now. We though they were real stand up guys even before we met them but getting to meet all our contacts at interbike was a whole nother experience. These guys are a group of the chillest riders/CEOs/Random you could ever meet. The Company was started by a group of guys that wanted to make good head protection for extreme/action sports, and they hired all their best friends to help run the company. How rad is that.? Anyways these guys are hooking us up with Helmets to ride with and protect our domes which make them pretty much a neccesity for our business so please check them out.
Burro Bags- Now these guys are quite an interesting bunch from what i can tell.I mean look at this excerpt from their about us "Chris Williams and Matt Bort enjoy the more shanty things in life: cheap beer, second hand bike parts, old sewing machines and free meals. Chances are that if we aren't available at our shop, we are supporting our favorite booze hole, Shantytown Pub, around the corner." haha. They are a group of bag makers out of Jacksonville, Fl and let me tell you these guys make some quality product. Right now they are in the midst of making us a custom food delivery bag aswell as a pizza delivery bag for our racks. I mean what other messenger bag company could you talk to and ask for a pizza delivery bag? non thats who. Anyways these guys are amazing and we are so greatful. When they're not getting hot press from their new "risque" ad campaign you can catch these guys prepping for the annual redbull soapbox derby. Theseguys are also a very "green" business. They make alot of their bags by recycing old billboards. So figure thats geeping 650 square feet of billboard from being dumped everytime they recycle it.. Awesome! Also if your someone that wants a good messenger bag, have a low budget, and dont need a whole lot of pockets then check out their "Brokeass" model its almost fully recycled and its only $80 bucks so please check out their website.
All-City- While These guys aren't a "full sponsor" they hooked us up with some clips & Grips just because they are down right nice people. I met jeff at interbike this year and talking to him about alot of his products and he was more then glad to tell the story and specs behind all of them. When the last day came i tried to get him to sell me some clips and grips but he refused. He gave me a small talk on how he could never let someone pay him directly especially at the event he just told me to take them and go. So i Did but not before getting contact infor and copies of his logo to spread around and just tell everyone what a great brand/company they are. So please check them out, and if you think they were nice to me you should see all the stuff they do for their community back in Milwaukee where they are located out of.
Cadence- This is a clothing/goods company owned and ran by Dustin Klein. He is truly an amazing guy i originally emailed him to see if he would sponsors the non profit races we're putting on and he explained to me that everything is handmade and how he doesn't think he has the volume of stuff to support that many events so instead he sent us a package and said he'd much rather sponsor the people running the event because it was more manageable. He Hooked us up with some shirts, some "doubleizers", and then a few weeks later i was talking to him and he sent us some of his straps. Now Let me ask you this.. are you tired of shelling out 100-200 bones on some good double straps. then look no further for a mere $65 on his website you can get these amazing straps, and take it from me these definitely rival toshi's.
Anyways i suppose thats all but thank you guys all so much for your help and support.

Busy, Busy, Busy....
Hey Everyone,
So I have really been slacking on this whole blogging thing, but i swear its for good reasons for which i will tell you in this post.
Reason #1
Business Has been picking up more and more now that i'm finally starting to get all this stuff together. We're making some solid accounts just in time for the snow to hit.. haha. Also we have some really great articles and media stuff coming up aswell as some really amazing sponsors that have come on board to help us ot so if you want to check them out look to the left>>>>>>
Reason #2
INTERBIKE!!! Interbike was literally one of the greatest times i've had in a while especially because i got to meet almost all of the sponsors for the upcoming race series and let me tell you they are some of the kindest most giving people in the world. I don't say that in a "oh yeah, they're my sponsors be nice kinda way" its because they truly are some amazing rad people.. the kind of people that when you meet them they hand you a beer/merch/food then shake your hand whilst inviting you to attempt to eat a 6 pound burrito at the nascar cafe along side them. Anyways i threw some pics in here for you guys to oogle over at rthe bottom...
Reason #3
I'm Really trying to revamp everything incase you havent noticed the new layout and the sponsors section to the right.. also check out our Myspace, Facebook, and our Twitter pages for their recent facelifts.. minus the facebook.. can't change a thing on there but text.. anyways here are some of my fave photos from interbike..
Do you Commute or messenge in a rainy/snowy?
like riding fixed.? then this is your kinda biek cuz the disc brakes wont let you down..
New Urban fixed gear from specialized/globe bikes.. goldsprints were a blast.!!
Whole nother breed of fixed gear from shortfatz..
