Preston wanted a bike that he could commute around LA with, be off-road capable, and appropriate to ride to his spin class where he’d spin to go spin and spin back home once he has spun. We hope you enjoy your new bike Preston!

Poler Stuff (@polerstuff) publishes the Camp Vibes Communique and interviewed an artist Hannes Wingate, ( Instagram @hanneswingate) who had the following spectacular quote in the current issue, “Somewhere along the way, we stepped out of nature and started thinking about nature as a place. It’s as though we think we’ve stepped above it, … we thought of nature as separate from us and at the same time we put paradise somewhere else…..but I think paradise was already here, it was always here…..” Hannes is so right. How did we make nature a place to go to occasionally? Why do we separate it so much from our lives as a place to drive to and find rarely. And, how come we don’t celebrate being surrounded by nature all the time. If you are in Topanga we have some copies of the issue in its entirety. #unpredictyourwednesday is hiking this week. Join in. Nature. Immerse yourself. It’s Paradise right here and now.

The Outpost has the magnificent Jones Plus available for demo to anyone interested in trying their new custom geometry, that’s designed to do just about anything. The stout  29 x 3.0 wheels make for an exciting ride, whether you’re climbing the steep grades of Arteique Road on the TCB Shop Loop or bombing down Mt. Pinos in the Los Padres National Forest. Its been on a few adventures already, and has converted several folk to the dark side (Or to the light side depending on your fancy.) We will only have it for a limited time so stop by the Outpost or give us a call if you want to give it a try.
