growler cages!

Despite being currently obsessed with riding my cx bike with road slicks on as many inappropriate roads and tracks as possible, I still want a fat bike.

alphynix:

There’s a trend in paleoart known as “shrink-wrapping”, where dinosaurs and other beasties are drawn as little more than the barest amount of flesh over a skeleton, as if the distant past was entirely populated by bizarrely anorexic wildlife. It was very prevalent in the 90s, although thankfully less so these days.

A recently-released book, All Yesterdays, features some wonderful speculative paleoart, showcasing a few more fanciful and fun depictions of prehistoric life as a reminder that we might still be just as wrong about some of these animals as were the lumbering swamp-monster dinosaurs of the 1950s. It also has a section based around “reconstructing” a few animals of today as they might be seen by a non-human paleontologist in the far future.

And I’ve done something similar here. This is a suitably shrink-wrapped and scalified version of a modern critter — our hypothetical future-scientist only had a skeleton to work from, and no soft-tissue evidence at all for this particular group of animals.

So, let’s have a little interactivity here: what is this thing?

Edit: The answer is here. Thanks for guessing! :D

The Ellis Strada Fango…been looking forward to seeing this one built up for awhile now! If you’re lucky enough to be at the NAHBS this weekend be sure to stop by the Ellis booth to check out this craft in person.

And yes, those are 29er tires.

The Strada Fango is going to be one of my display bikes at the upcoming NAHBS. I hesitate to call it a cross bike, but that’s probably the closest thing that it resembles, it’s built to accommodate 29 x 2.0 tires for more adventurous rides and it also features disc brakes and internal wiring for Di2 controls. I’m looking forward to doing a number of gravel road and mixed terrain ride/races with it this upcoming season, and it’ll even accept racks if I want to take off on a long weekend tour!

This one is definitely givin me one of those “one-bike-to-rule-them-all” feelings.

More pics on the Bens Cycle Blog and A LOT MORE on Flickr!

It looks even better in person, rolling up a gravel road in Minnesota or Wisconsin…

Fractal Experience by Erik Söderberg

Why do humans tend to prefer strict geometric design when nature seems to flow in a chaotic and organic way?

This separation of man from nature made me investigate further. I realized that nature actually does follows certain patterns and that humans sometimes prefer the organic flow rather then the well defined, controlled and organized.

The most significant realization for me was that we are inseparate. Sprung out of the same realm of potential, into life - the never ending play of definition and destruction. Or as I visualize it, a play of geometric shapes and organic chaos.

There’s defintely one person in this picture that I’m pretty sure would rather be in Spain right now. Still fudging epic.
