Additional to yesterday’s put up, I’m undecided what occurred with the Hyundai business. It was the best business once I watched it, and the outline matches…
…however the precise video embedded within the put up now exhibits a special business.
Anyway, little doubt you’ve moved on, however in the event you completely should see the hapless Freds operating that mild it appears as if you are able to do so right here.
In the meantime, greetings from the financial institution of the mighty Hudson River, simply throughout from the primordial New Jersey Palisades:
Once you strategy the water you anticipate frozen stillness, however the chunks of ice drifting within the present creates a sensation of motion which makes you’re feeling sort of seasick as you take a look at it:
Although to be honest the bike doesn’t assist in the nausea division:
I actually ought to improve to a carbon fiber bicycle, which might in flip give me an excuse to improve to carbon fiber pants:
Lastly, a pair of pants that’s 15 instances stronger than metal!
Harrumph, as a retrogrouch I’ll persist with my metal cuisses and greaves, thankyouverymuch:
Cuisses & Greaves goes to be the identify of my new artisanal bikepacking bag firm. I additionally actually like these these sabatons. Certain, they give the impression of being a bit cumbersome, however I wager they had been nonetheless simpler to stroll in than street bikes footwear.
Naturally I used to be intrigued by the pants, so I headed over to the clothes firm’s web site, and I made the very same facial features because the mannequin once I realized that they had been $595:
[“Say what?”]
Although that’s nonetheless a greater deal than the Colnago garments, which might’t even stretch in any course concurrently:
Weighing simply 350 grams, the pants can stretch in any course concurrently, whereas withstanding the identical assessments as our 100 12 months gear – making them the strongest pair of light-weight, stretchy, on a regular basis pants ever constructed.
I’m having a troublesome time envisioning a state of affairs through which I’d stretch my pants in a number of instructions concurrently, wanting having one other particular person inside them with me who’s attempting to run in the other way.
Additionally they have “army grade” t-shirts, that are a comparative cut price at $145:
It’s so powerful it would outlive you!
Engineered with a mix of army grade Japanese Cordura and cotton, the 100 12 months T Shirt is simply as tender as an everyday cotton t shirt, but it surely’s 14x stronger. The problem for the 100 12 months T Shirt was easy – construct a t shirt that’s powerful sufficient to survive you, however snug sufficient so that you can need to spend the remainder of your life in. The fact of most t shirts is that after just a few years they begin to break down, then they’re thrown out. The 100 12 months T Shirt is completely different. Whereas it appears like an everyday cotton t shirt and looks like an everyday cotton t shirt, it’s constructed from a fabric so powerful it was initially developed for army fight uniforms.
How is {that a} promoting level although? I actually don’t desire a t-shirt that’s going to survive me. I’d get depressed figuring out I’m going to die earlier than my shirt. Sporting out a t-shirt is a part of the pure cycle of life, like watching the seasons change or shedding your hair. Certain, you would possibly assume you need your t-shirt to final ceaselessly, but it surely’s most likely like wishing for immortality, in that when your want is definitely granted you notice it’s really a dwelling hell. Why deny your self the method of getting a t-shirt, breaking it in properly, carrying it till it’s gossamer, after which getting a brand new one and beginning the method anew? Actually, the one scenario through which I’d need my t-shirt to survive me could be if I get inducted into the Gravel Biking Corridor of Fame and once I die they put my physique on show like Lenin:
No offense to any of those intrepid gravelliers talked about within the article, however as I’ve talked about earlier than, that is by far The World’s Most Untimely Corridor of Fame. The brand of the Gravel Biking Corridor of Fame needs to be an image of a horse with a cart in entrance of it. Plus, I wished to know the place the Gravel Biking Corridor of Fame was situated so I might be certain that to by no means go to it, and I came upon there isn’t even a bodily one in any respect:
A bodily presence needs to be the very first rule for the institution of a corridor of fame. Like, they couldn’t hire a barn someplace and fill it with wax collectible figurines and troughs filled with several types of gravel?
Convey the children, it’s a tactile sensory expertise!
