Been a little while and long time in between things that (I felt) needed to be said. Obviously, that hasn't stopped things from happening, nor has it stopped opinions against those things from being concluded. It's simply that the resultant bi-product (faux intellectual pseudo hostility) wasn't worth the effort (necessary) to spout it at you. At this time I should and could possibly just get on with it (some of ...
On some day, some days ago, I pledged unto myself that I would ride all of the three weekend days. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I can hear the collective rumble...so fucking what...but on this you'll have to understand, it's more than that. Winter, as I may have mentioned, is not cooperating. Winter, is still here...and while winter is normally only a vile ugly shit of a pimple in ...
There are only three things more annoying than winter(s) in Southern Ontario*. People that enjoy winter. Fat Bikers talking about Fat Bikes. People complaining about winter during winter. Contrary to meteorological opinion, it is no longer winter. I have budgeted for an ultra-endurance weekend. That is, riding all and both Saturday and Sunday. Unless it snows. * Some of you (probably and most likely NOT residing in Southern Ontario) might ...
I hate winter. I really really fucking hate winter. Not in the seasonal sense. I know that I love winter in California. I am not wintering in California. Obviously such an impotent and irrational hatred cannot go unfocused. It must, else consume on the hater, manifest itself onto something. Anything. Idealistically a someanything deemed to represent the commercial embodiment (therefore validation and acceptance) of winter as I hate it. Fat ...
For some 40 (2) even years I've fought with most anyone and everyone that would reciprocate, yelled and shaken my fists at those that would not. In the dark light of my best intentions, nary a perceived injustice would ever be too small not to confront. If I don't, who will? This is a justification. An admission. An excuse. And I've come to realize, it's bloody tiring. Despite this admission, I won't ...
The Corporate Psycles (home) page is in need of some 2013. The new site WILL be: RESPONSIVE - web 2.whatever, mobile, an app even, maybe. BLACK - black with black accents and black highlights. MINE - hand drawn textures and images where possible*. * I am aware that CANVAS isn't THAT, but if this is in fact the future, maybe it SHOULD be. The new site will NOT be: SEO - it ...
Facefuck has been a buzz with a few ideas...at least until they themselves drop off the fold or I need to drop monies into the Facewhore attention meter. To summarize, these are some considerations (and by no means actual alterations) to be considering: Tapered Head Tube Internal - cups pressed into head-tube. More (and growing) headset options. Quickly becoming 'standard'. Modification to current frame design. Integrated - (essentially) bearings ...
Arrived they have. At some great expense and no less. So very of many... ...and quite the few. Some of they be Dark Grey* and Grey**. A few and the same are Grey** and Orange***. The rest that's left are Orange*** and Dark Grey*. * Dark Grey. It mostly is. What it really is is just NOT black and that's just the way it was ordered (90% black). ** Grey. It totally is. ...
So many messes, too few less-esteemed minions willing to work for praise and Dicky fodder. As it is, there are no less than 8 Corporate Psycles projects under(my)way and in desperate need of conclusion. Some old, some news. Each important in its own light. All stalled somewhere along and long before completion. In no particular order: Misfit Psycles (OCA) Affiliation CENSORED Misfit Psycles Influencer Initiative Misfit Psycles Jersey CENSORED ...
Misfit Psycles does not make a Fat Bike. Misfit Psycles has no plans to make a Fat Bike. If you care why, this is that. There have been trends, novelties and deviations in the past. There will be more. In many or most cases the only thing more ridiculous than the products produced (to satiate these fabricated desires) are the justifications that preempted their (actual) existence. Like any emphatic generalization, ...
A funny think happened this other time... Now anyone that knows anything about Dicky Dillen knows a little something about what this means for the design team at Corporate Psycles. Validation. Here he is and there he was, the man who gets it all (for free), plucks up enough lawyer droppings to buy himself the Misfit Psycles Walz Cap Collection in it's entirety. Of course there were other notable cap ...
Of all the seasons and most of the reasons, experience remains, the more you ride in (the) winter* - the better you ride all the rest of the time(s). * While I do not intend to debate the benefits of riding in your more warm climates during this period...I do, however, propose those of us that ride through the more frozen of shits do (in any actuality) earn far ...
There are some and a few things on the near horizon...some you even need to know about. Team Misfit Psycles Resurrection - OCA Affiliation Sponsorship/Pro/Influencer Program - Acknowledged Riders Fuck Yo Fat Bike - A biased study of why your FatBike is irrelevant Sale of the Year - The 20 point 13 promotion continues Basically, you need to be item 1, you want to be item 2, as much as you ...
It happened like that, just the yesterday, on a wintery ride. Awesome. Not the cliche as I might more typically over-employ. Not the reflection of any one peculiar instant in time. It wasn't the ride, it wasn't the conditions, it wasn't the company and it wasn't even the sight of mine own silhouette as it fell most sexily atop the virgin white snow. It was awesome, a full body floating ...
And a great riddance to it. To celebrate, the PSYCLESTORE is hosting a once in a cosmic-life-time sale: Coupon Code: SCREW2012 Buy or not, all the better in 2013. Misfit Psycles.
