We really love this test that Solo Bici, the Spanish Mountain Bike magazine just printed. They feel all warm and fuzzy about the Mojo and we feel all warm and fuzzy about them. Look at the beautiful cover!

If any of you out there would like the first sneak peek at the Ibis Gallery and maybe even post a picture or ten, we’d like you to go for it. We’re planning on launching this thing in 10 days or so, but it would be nice for us to get a bit of feedback before we do it.

Note that I’m out of town, out of email reach and out of the country for the next 7 days. So I won’t be able to answer any questions about the gallery until Mayy 15th or 16th.

Send an email to scot at ibiscycles dot com if you do encounter any issues. I many not get back to you soon, but I will get back to you.

On another note, we’ve got the fun Ride More Work Less Ibis Advisory done in Banner form now (stickers yet to come), you can scope it out at the ibis store by clicking on the image below.

And again, that gallery address is : http://www.gallery.ibiscycles.com/

Did you see the Sunday New York Times? Wait, if you are reading Chuck Spew, then certainly you didn’t see the Times. There’s 0% cross pollination in those two demographics…

Seems as though the latest coolguy/coolgal craze–messenger style fixed gear riding even though you’re not a messenger–has been exposed by The Times in an article called Unstoppable, written by a guy named Jocko. So the secret is out, now we’re going to have Wall Street guys getting temporary tattoos, fake piercings and learning to ride fixed gears.

The Times went so far as to provide a graphic for its readers who either cannot read or are not versed in the fixie parlance…

Big in Japan…soon…maybe
“Perceived by some as nuisances, or as troublesome, anarchist Dumpster-diving punks who happen to ride bikes, they are occasionally reviled, but they are also the subject of curiosity and interest. Just as die-hard skateboarders 15 years ago stood on the cusp of providing a new lifestyle, so the fixed-gear bike culture could be the tip of something that nobody can accurately predict but something that is huge.”

So, we shall wait and see if this is the next big thing.

By the way, I didn’t mean for this to take a full week to write and post. I thought for sure “Bummer Life” would beat me to it. But maybe they’re just turning their heads the other way. My excuse for the delay is that it’s been too beautiful around here to sit in front of the computer. So I’ve been sitting on top of my not-a-fixed gear bike. Check it out:
