If you are a biker in any one of the major city’s of the world, then you know about getting your bike jacked. After getting everything from pedals, a seat, tires, to my entire bike stolen, I decided to start keeping my bike in doors. Of course my girlfriend was not excited about this move, and it has been her amo for a lot of fights (”why are you home so late??! were you out with some other girls? you are hanging out with other girls and you have that stupid bike in our apartment!!”).

Well now I have some proof that it is a bad idea to leave your bike chained up outside. Recently, a bike thief in Toronto was caught with a record setting 2,396 stolen bikes (you should def. read the full story, this guy was a nut). Never mind the fact that storing over 2,000 stolen bikes would be difficult, what the hell would you do with that many stolen bikes? And how!? you would have to steal one bike a day, everyday, for over 4 years.

Well, a couple of bikers in NYC set out to answer that question:

 Is it just me, or does it seem like the Olympics are trying to send a message with the Men’s Diving icon?

 Matty Sallin wins my award for best alarm clock designer. This little piggy wakes you up the ‘good Ol’ fashion’ way, with the smell of crispy bacon. My only concern is leaving a piece of raw bacon in a wooden box over night….

I saw this on Comedy Central the other day. I don’t know if it has the same impact on the web as it does on TV. It is pretty obvious what is going to happen. But I guess since it was on TV I was like “are they gonna show it? Are the gonna show it?”

It is a pretty tight video too. And the guy who made it, Travis Betz, did everything from the props to the music. Makes for a great video to send to your boss.

But if I did, I would wear this one.

The Nike 112 Pack is said to release soon (early July), and DJ Clark Kent has designed a New Era 59FIFTY lid to go along with the kicks. The hat has neon green embroidery for the Brooklyn “B” and the 112_ _  on the back.  It features 3M reflective material on the brim and the back panel. And under the brim is some elephant print for good measure. The first place you will be able to get it is most likely at Vinnie’s Styles on Flabush ave. in Brooklyn.

The latest books I’ve fed my brain. For some reason I am on this earth-centric kick with my reading. I highly recommend both of these volumes.

Thank you Folgers. I don’t even think drinking Folgers is the best way to wake you up in the morning anymore. Just watch this freak circus of a commercial when you roll out of bed, and I guarantee that you’ll be wide awake.
