Nobody ever gets bike lights quite right. Seriously, I'm not sure who is running these bike accessory departments, but they definitely must not actually ride their bike. And I don't care how many kickstarter bike light projects there are, most leave some important element out.
I've participated in a few Critical Masses in my day. I did my first one in Madison, WI back in the booze infused glory days of college. It was a pretty small affair with a dense concentration of hippies. After moving to San Francisco I got to experience the event in its purest and orignal form. And on September 28th of 2012 the event will be celebrating its 20th anniversary, complete with a week of events and awesome promotional material like the attached poster, designed by local illustrator and muralist, Mona Caron.

It is HARD to find a good bicycle light. You don't want to spend too much money because it might get stolen. The lights in this video are pretty awesome, nice cinematography too.

I can't understand it, but I can't really can't stand them

Don't you wanna take a joyride on my tandem?
Huffy on a Huffy, don't I look so handsome.
I dig this track and thought it had an apropos message on election day. Get Ready It's a New Day, so Get out and VOTE! Also it is totally bike related because Ash Roth is rocking a fixie in the video. A slightly undersized fixie, cmon prop wranglers, get your shit together (or they just took it from the only hipster they could find)!
I really want to believe Ash Roth is legit as balls, but there are a few caveats that makes me doubt his is his commitment to bicycle riding.
This is one of them. Although, I question the girl's ability to actually ride this bicycle without her onesie/sweater or whatever the hell she's got on falling off. Not that I would object to such a thing, but there might be children around.
