One of the many reasons for my obsession with Europe has to be their dexterity with bikes. No lie, I saw a woman in a dress and stilettos biking while smoking and eating a croissant. And juggling knives. Ok, no knives, but still quite impressive. I think I could manage such a feat if only I had the right equipment, mainly a really pretty bike. Mission Bicycle Company is here to make my dream a reality. Working with San Francisco’s design collective, grayscale design, the custom fixed-gear bike company created a physical location where customers can come in, choose their parts and watch the magical production take place, much like their online store. Genius. Only one more question on my end. Do they have rockets that can strap to the side of these bad boys? Because I think it would be far more cost effective than buying a Kawasaki.

There are very few things I miss about high school aside from playing Tetris on my calculator so much that my dreams were filled with images of those little boxes. Pivot ‘L’ shaped block, PIVOT! Oh, the good ole days. The newly launched Australian label, Junior Massive has come out with some limited edition tees to fill the void that has been left from the lack of eighth grade Algebra. Well done, mate. How bad is it that I imagined a kangaroo in one of these shirts? Don’t act like you didn’t do it too!
