Every Pedal Moves You Closer January 25, 2012
A few drawings for the morning January 25, 2012
I’ve been trying to think of a tag line for Fairdale… something like above… or “Every Pedal Moves You Closer”
Internet Vacation January 19, 2012
Thanks to the internet being on vacation yesterday I spent some time doodling and trying to get my creative juices flowing. Fairdale needs some new t-shirt designs and I’m trying to get something going.
Sandy Carson is on the team January 16, 2012
Long time friend and all around great guy Sandy Carson is now a part of Fairdale’s team. It’s true that we don’t really have a team but starting right now we are going to begin putting together a small group of awesome folks who like to ride bikes.
New Zealand Bicycle Tour with Sandy Carson January 12, 2012
And now here’s part 2 of Sandy Carson’s down under cycling tour adventure (you can catch Part 1 here)…
The 2 weeks flew by in Australia and I was already regretting only having a week to enjoy New Zealand’s South Island as I flew in. I’ve always wanted explore NZ and i’m sure it won’t be the last. Need. More. Time. ugh!
Flying over the glaciers and making a to do list. Hike, ride, explore, skydive? getting ADD already.
Fairdale’s Tour of Australia January 11, 2012
So let’s see… to be fair Sandy Carson’s bicycle tour of Australia/ New Zealand was before he was actually on the Fairdale team and he’s not actually on a Fairdale. Still, his bike does have a Fairdale sticker on it and he had a great adventure we want to show you. Plus, yes, he is almost officially on the Fairdale team that we are starting of awesome people who ride bikes. Once he signs his contract we’ll give you a good bunch of info on BMX legend/ Austin’s favorite photographer/ veggie powered cyclist Sandy Carson.
Check out Sandy’s trip through his photos and words below. Part 2 which covers his New Zealand leg will be here sometime next week- Taj
Camping on the Weekender January 11, 2012
In an effort to test our new Weekender model as much as possible before full production I lent my personal steed out for the weekend. This gave the Weekender a chance to live up to its name and prove its stuff. Full Factory’s Logan and his pup Hershal took the bike and my Bob trailer for a 100+ mile ride to a camp ground up north of Austin (Upper Colorado Bend State Park). They traveled with everything they needed for a camping weekend. Logan said the ride was good except that the loaded trailer with dog on board made standing hill climbs difficult. Since his route went through the thick of Texas hill country he spent a lot of time grinding away in the small gears. The ride proved to be quite an adventure and he managed to spend a relaxing weekend with his dog camping and then head back to Austin. Not bad!
Sounds like a lot of fun… I think I might be doing something very similar very soon.
Thanks to Andrew Brady for the pic!
Finally, a crabon fiber couch January 9, 2012
Found this beauty on the internet. Carbon fiber bikes with leather seats and carbon fiber couches with leather seats. You’re life could be complete! Actually pretty interesting construction techniques if you find this kind of thing interesting like I do : http://cncrouting.co.uk/projects/carbon-fibre-sofa/
No SOUP For You January 6, 2012
Hey Bike shops… Skaterack at QBP January 3, 2012
Our wonderful little Skaterack just got a little easier to get. QBP the world’s largest seller of bicycle parts to bike shops just added it to their inventory. Just search out Fairdale. If you’re just a person (and not a whole bike shop) this means that pretty much any bike shop you might walk into can order you a Skaterack at a moments notice.
