It is HARD to find a good bicycle light. You don't want to spend too much money because it might get stolen. The lights in this video are pretty awesome, nice cinematography too.

Our new theme song. lyrics and vocals by James Bujold. Music production by Kai Stenlund.

Ok, so I know I have ripped on electric bikes in the past, but this is kind of cool. If something like this is going to get more people on bikes, the I'm all for it.

Mark Ronson & The Business INTL: "The Bike Song" from Warren Fu on Vimeo.

Verse:

I can't understand it, but I can't really can't stand them

Girls love cars, cars cause harm to the planet

Don't you wanna take a joyride on my tandem?

Huffy on a Huffy, don't I look so handsome.

Bikes suffice, they're so nice like priceless

Working on my calves to triceps to biceps

Bypass the gas, stop the traffic lights

I get a round, round, without a drivers license.

Hello are you walking? Farwell, I'm off then.

And I whip it through the city with a 40 and a 50

Party popping on my wheelie.

I dig this track and thought it had an apropos message on election day. Get Ready It's a New Day, so Get out and VOTE! Also it is totally bike related because Ash Roth is rocking a fixie in the video.  A slightly undersized fixie, cmon prop wranglers, get your shit together (or they just took it from the only hipster they could find)!

I really want to believe Ash Roth is legit as balls, but there are a few caveats that makes me doubt his is his commitment to bicycle riding.

This is one of them. Although, I question the girl's ability to actually ride this bicycle without her onesie/sweater or whatever the hell she's got on falling off. Not that I would object to such a thing, but there might be children around. 

And secondly, it would be difficult to ride through brush.  Seriously who rides their bicycle through the Australian outback?  (not 100% sure that is where this is)  I mean why not have her pose with a kangaroo or dingo or something?  Looks like they applied a nice retro photoshop filter too.

Not sure what kind of bike she's rocking.  Looks like it could have been a quick pickup from Goodwill by the prop wrangler for this photoshoot...  

Do you need a good reason to bike? After reading this article I never want to buy another drop of gasoline again. Check it out here: How America is being bought by Middle Eastern Sovereign Wealth Funds! It was written by Matt Taibbi, a journalist for Rolling Stone, and probably one of the journalists I trust most at the moment.  It's kind of depressing when the state of the media is so bad that the people I trust most are Rolling Stone and Comedy Central.  

I always though nothing cool came from the east coast.  Mostly because Washington DC and New Jersey are located there. Thankfully I've been enlightened on both fronts by two things, the fabulous TV show "Jersey Shore" (i also highly recommend watching the South Park parody OMG its a Snoooki!) and and the awesome bike builders, Independent Fabrications.  

The Cannondale onBike straight up pushes the bike design envelope. Cannondale replaced the seat and chain stays with an enclosed single sided chain case. Pretty awesome.  The chain case is made of machined billet, so they bascially took a hunk of metal and machined it into a chain case.  The bike is a 9 speed with internal gears and disk brakes.

Missed a few weeks. Mostly was trying to get my shit together and watching Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But here is a BOTW to redeem myself, if that's possible. It's the Affinity Kissena, a sweet and sassy track ride I'd like to wrap my thighs around.
