Got Dosh?
Feb/14/2010
Dosh sent me a few samples of their 6-Card wallet. If your like me and use plastic as your choice of payment... this wallet will fit perfectly into your lifestyle. Fear not, this wallet is also equipped with a stainless steel money clip for all your bank notes. The wallet material (Desmopan - thermoplastic polyurethane) is water and chemical (i.e., grease, oil, etc.) resistant... perfect for you're cycling adventures. Also, the material allows the wallet to be very flexible... even with all your cards in stowed away.
One thing I noticed about this wallet that made it really shine was how secure your cards stayed in place. I was shaking this wallet like crazy to see if any of the cards would fall out. Not one single card made any attempt to move! Another feature I like is the size... just slightly larger than an iPhone/iPod. So you can conveniently stow the wallet away in your hip pouch, cell phone pouch, etc. The days of worrying about your wallet falling out of your back pocket as you ride is OVER because the Desmopan material allows the wallet to grip securely to the inside of your back pocket.
See more @ Dosh... amazing details!

RE (Cycled) STRAP
Feb/12/2010
WOW... HANDWORKS Grip Straps!
Feb/11/2010
Mark from HANDWORKS sent me a pair of GRIP straps via Hong Kong. Right off the bat… these straps were easy to install with its integrated buckle system. What stands out about these particular buckles is that they are thicker than what others have been using. And with the thicker buckles, it was easier to grasp them when installing the straps. As an added bonus to having thicker buckles… they will withstand all the abuse you throw at them… especially grinding tricks.
Another great feature about these straps is the material used on the top portion of main foot strap. It's almost like a polyurethane material which seems to be an excellent water repellent. Riding in the rain, I noticed the water beading right off the straps. So if you live in a place that gets tons of downpour, this feature may suite you very well!
Overall, I think the GRIP is a great FRS and I think the majority of trick riders will appreciate them. For inquires, contact HANDWORKS @ chackongshop[at]gmail.com.
AND YES... all praise to Hold Fast for paving the way in the FRS dept. When you make something so damn good... others will follow suit.

4TN: A Cycle Inspired Clothing Range From 14 Bike Co
Feb/08/2010
"These are some lovely garments which I will soon be proudly rocking, seriously well designed and suited for riding, including tailored shirts to accommodate for stretch in cycling position, smart crotch design to avoid rips from saddles (the main cause of death of my trousers) as well as various other specific incorporated features which result in a fashion range that not only looks and feels awesome, but also is infinitely more practical for cycling. My favorite piece may have to be the trousers, with cleverly designed pockets and a lifesaver crotch seam arrangement (hopefully will get some pictures to illustrate) though I’m genuinely super stoked on every piece in the collection. Stay tuned for more info and contact Odge for any specific questions or comments." – 14 Bike Co

The ASR Tradeshow mainly focuses on the surf and skateboard industry. There you will find BROS and BETTIES... I have been there before and it’s sickening to the stomach. Surprisingly...

Finisterre Matanuska M65 Jacket
Feb/03/2010
The Matanuska M65 jacket is high water resistant and 100% windproof. What I like about this particular jacket is how easy it is to adjust the hood, waist, bottom hem, and cuffs for that perfect fit. This is definitely a great addition to your Winter/Spring cycling attire.
PROPER Lock Holster Belt
Feb/01/2010
The kind folks @ Fabric Horse gave me a Lock Holster Belt to try out. The first thing you need to know about this particular belt is that you don’t need to run it through your belt loops. You simply wrap it around your waist and lock it down with the industrial button snaps. And with the u-lock holster stitched in place, you don’t have to worry about your mini u-lock migrating to the center of your arse.
The last utility style belt I bought was from Transient. It was stiff, bulky and irritating to the body. When I ride... I want to ride relaxed without any distractions. So with the Fabric Horse Lock Holster Belt... it’s flexible, lightweight and comfortable to the body. Lastly, you don’t have to worry about this belt folding or buckling over since it just over 1.75-inches wide.
Fabric Horse also offers a Belt Look Key Ring and iPhone/iPod pouch to expand your belt.
I highly recommend you pick up one of these affordable belts. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Swag From AURORA Collective
Feb/01/2010
Sebastian from AURORA Collective sent me a sweet package. I received a handful of colorful stickers, a few t-shirts, a copy of Artzine Issue #1, and a pair of their Velcro Straps. What I really like about AURORA Collective is that its heavily art-based and very creative. The Artzine is absolutely amazing and well laid out! In a few days, I look forward to testing out the AURORA Velcro Straps and writing a proper review!
Big thanks to Sebastian and crew!
