Have you heard about Girl Bike Love? It's an well done website dedicated to getting women on bikes, edited by the dedicated and funny Sarai Snyder. It's an excellent resource to get you more into your bike through tool introductions, product reviews, and cycle industry interviews. Sarai was just at NAHBS (I'm totally jealous) and snapped some great shots and is promising a few good interviews as well! GBL are also a blast to follow on the twitter.

Alcohol Olympics

I gave up drinking for Lent. (You know, for the little baby Jesus.) I am not very religious per say, but I think the exercises of restraint is a good for the mind and body. It's help me save money, lose weight, and have the ability to remember Saturday nights. But... how I miss you my dearest Alcohol! We will be reunited soon.

When I found this very well-made video about alcohol consumption, I had to post it.



GOOD is pretty much the wickedest magazine ever to come outta Cali, you should make a point of reading it at least on a semi-regular basis. They also make really rad videos as you can watch if you are too hungover to read. Their enforcement of awesome astounds me sometimes.



Just remember... 884 million people in this crazy world don't have access to clean drinking water, and here in Canada we PEE in it.
