  My WeekenderMy Weekender has turned into a jumbled mix of parts over the last couple of years, but I love it. It makes me happy every time I ride it. I’m aware that reading a post proclaiming love for a product on the same feed that makes the product isn’t worth much. Still, it is sincere...
  Hareraiser Lunch BreakOur Hareraiser DJ can do a lot of things. One of them is to clear the mind of computer screens during a long lunch Break. Here's Taj having a cruise at the City of Bellingham's public Civic jumps and telling us that he's busy with R&D testing.
  Taj’s Custom Elevator BuildMy personal build of our Elevator frameset. I went for the very on-trend silver parts kit look that turned out to be even more "on-trend" than I expected, as it seemed like...

  Research and Design From Years AgoBack in the simpler times of 2014 (when Mongoose only made rollerblades), we had the idea to make some bikes out of wood. Fender even sent us a bass to make a bike out of, and it even worked (for a few minutes). Leif showed up in his jumpsuit and...

But what if you'd prefer to turn your bike into a torture device inside your house? That is how a lot of cyclists see indoor cycling, but I'm here to say it doesn't have to be that way.
  Fairdale x Zilker / Weekender Nomad MXShoutout to our friends at Zilker Beer for inviting us back for another seasonal collaboration. This time we landed on a citrusy and refreshing Hop Water, with custom can art courtesy of Taj Mihelich of course.
  New Shirts and a Hat!Some new stuff from @Taj Mihelich’ sketchbook that we turned into softgoods.
  Fairdale Goes to Ray’s on a TuesdayIt kinda' went like this: "There's a new colorway of the Hareraiser, we should make a video for it." "Let's take it to Ray's." "I've still never been there." "Oh man, you have to go! Let's just make it an office trip."
