Additional to yesterday’s submit, I’m undecided what occurred with the Hyundai business. It was the proper business once I watched it, and the outline matches…
…however the precise video embedded within the submit now reveals a special business.
Anyway, little question you’ve moved on, however when you completely should see the hapless Freds operating that gentle 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:
Whenever you method the water you count on frozen stillness, however the chunks of ice drifting within the present creates a sensation of motion which makes you’re feeling form 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 occasions 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 appear just a little cumbersome, however I guess they had been nonetheless simpler to stroll in than street bikes sneakers.
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 checks as our 100 Yr 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 during which I’d stretch my pants in a number of instructions concurrently, in need of having one other particular person within them with me who’s making an attempt to run in the wrong way.
Additionally they have “navy grade” t-shirts, that are a comparative cut price at $145:
It’s so robust it’s going to outlive you!
Engineered with a mix of navy grade Japanese Cordura and cotton, the 100 Yr T Shirt is simply as mushy as an everyday cotton t shirt, but it surely’s 14x stronger. The problem for the 100 Yr T Shirt was easy – construct a t shirt that’s robust sufficient to survive you, however snug sufficient so that you can wish to spend the remainder of your life in. The truth of most t shirts is that after just a few years they begin to break down, then they’re thrown out. The 100 Yr T Shirt is completely different. Whereas it seems to be like an everyday cotton t shirt and seems like an everyday cotton t shirt, it’s comprised of a cloth so robust it was initially developed for navy 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 understanding 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 dropping your hair. Certain, you would possibly suppose you need your t-shirt to final ceaselessly, but it surely’s in all probability like wishing for immortality, in that when your want is definitely granted you understand 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 during 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 emblem of the Gravel Biking Corridor of Fame must be an image of a horse with a cart in entrance of it. Plus, I needed to know the place the Gravel Biking Corridor of Fame was positioned so I may be sure 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 must be the very first rule for the institution of a corridor of fame. Like, they couldn’t lease a barn someplace and fill it with wax collectible figurines and troughs filled with several types of gravel?
Carry the children, it’s a tactile sensory expertise!
