With today’s street riding reaching never before seen bike demolishing levels Fairdale is here to help. Hub guards are an old stand by for protecting hubs against street riding abuse, be what about spoke nipples? Just like human nipples spoke nipples can be very fragile.
Introducing the Fairdale Nipple Bra.
Using a light weight combination of soft cotton and lycra this protective bra can keep your spoke nipples in perfect condition through even the roughest riding conditions.
Small elastic straps hook around the rim and underneath the tire making the bra very difficult to break free.
Still only in the prototyping phase is the valve stem athletic supporter. Once the design is finalized we promise to deliver a fail safe means of protecting your valve stem.
This was in a bicycle magazine and it has me very puzzled.
I’ve been working on a zine the last few days. Hope to have it finished this weekend.
Can’t say there is a whole lot of point to it, but its fun to make something that is going to be put on paper rather then your computer screen.
Got all this crap to go through and lay out… I’m very interested to see what I can come up with.
I think this is the good thing about working with headphones on… sometimes you hear things. Like this, I could swear I just heard someone in the other office say “Back to Fallopian tubes”. They didn’t say anything even close to that, but gave me a giggle.
There are many awesome things about this blanket set. First of all the guys foot is blowing off the pedal either in an effort to save a fall, or some blanket maker sewed up this still image a little early and should have waited till he was full tweaked. Second I know this is someone, some magazine photo or some internet photo of some rider… you could make someones day by letting them know they are on a blanket. First clue is pegs on the left side. The recommendation to dry clean is a nice touch for a BMX blanket too.

As always Fairdale looks to improve the world through superior design and engineering. Our latest invention achieves this through the often forgotten means of simple laughter. We strongly hold dear the ideal that a good laugh can improve the quality of life for all who share it.
And so, we proudly introduce the remote controlled spring loaded manhole cover.
This simple device is focused around an extremely powerful spring, and can easily replace any normal manhole cover. The spring may be detonated remotely for hours of enjoyment and wholesome fun.
Simply replace any existing manhole cover with the Fairdale Remote Controlled Spring Loaded Manhole Cover and wait for an unsuspecting cyclist to cross over the target zone. Release the spring with the “Launch” button at the right time for a huge laugh everytime!
Works great on pedestrians too! Try it on smaller, lighter children for the ultimate “boost”.
It was suggested to me that I start a T-shirt of the month club based around some of these Fairdale drawings. That might be fun. You could subscribe for one low price and then each month I would just print a new shirt from a new drawing and mail it to you.
I can see some problems with this idea though:
For one thing, what if you sign up for one size T-shirt, but then your weight fluctuates wildly from month to month?
Or what if (as often happens) the Fairdale corporation tries to cut some costs by using inferior shirts that make you break out in a rash?
And perhaps most dangerous is the idea of you trusting my sense of humor. There’s a very real chance I might think something really REALLY dum would be funny to put on a t-shirt. Are you really willing to risk that and subscribe your money away fearlessly and faithfully?
On the other hand, I do know some really awesome artists and it would be cool to have some guest artists do a shirt design or two. You might end up with something really unique and cool. I haven’t actually asked anyone and I’m not quite sure how I would get these “artists” to work for Fairdale, but usually just a million or so dollars convinces anyone. Maybe even some of you are artists. Now that would be a good deal… you do the drawing and then buy the shirt from me!
There is some precedence for this club-of -the-month kind of thing so maybe its not such a stretch:
Pizza of the month club.
Bacon of the month club.
And I know most of you are already enrolled in the Pickle of the month club.
Of course there already is a really awesome T-shirt of the month club too over at Threadless.
About to wreck some shit. Well, I’m actually about to go get lunch. Look out burrito.
