The Hawley Blog

You’re right, “A Sighing Unicorn” and “Ironic Nun Haggis” (the title to a blog post from a couple days ago) are in fact anagrams of “Sugino Chain Ring”! Congratulations, you have no life! Just kidding, The Blog has no life. You have some life, but that precious amount is being squandered on anagrams, as it [...]

The Blog almost fell asleep on its ride into work this morning. Luckily, the car full of high school ne’er do wells did their best to wake me from my somnambulance as they buzzed by with a honk followed by obscenities (well, a naughty word screamed twice) from the rolled down window. You rascally kids! [...]

Sunday saw the temps in the upper 60s, zero humidity, lots of sunshine and a refreshing if not somewhat stiff breeze. A week full of rain meant Harbison was off limits and road riding seemed unpalatable. Thus, all options pointed to taking Ole Blue out for some city riding, picture taking, bell ringing, hand waving [...]

AWWWWW YEAH!Got a chilling email last night from Dave. In a nutshell, the purchasing guru is displeased with his blog appearances in a) a groin-strangling harness surrounded by a panda b) the form of a naughty Siamese cat. Dave said he will have his revenge and that my life is about as worthless as a [...]

Nope! Sugino chain ring! Mentioned in yesterday’s post, we’re getting all things Sugino in stock from the land of the Rising Sun… and it couldn’t be a moment too soon as the track butterflies are starting to emerge from their winter cocoons in search of fresh new track gear to flaunt at the velodrome, much [...]

This type of nerdiness yet sublime cute-inosity deserves to be shared with the unwashed rabble who peruse these electronic missives over their morning bowl of watery gruel before they trudge off to their particular occupation, flogging beggars or rinsing filthy shreds of rags for pennies (we’re looking right at you Dicky and Billy). I try [...]

Yesterday’s post was concerned with Billy’s new header image. It had a Hawley catalog and a cute lil’ puppers so The Blog was distracted to no end! Because of said distraction, this weekend’s mountain bike ride was neglected. Perhaps the neglect was good as the ride itself was nothing extraordinary, but perhaps the lack of [...]

Billy is an independent bike store’s dream. He loves bikes, rides bike for a living, is loyal to his shop and thrashes bike parts like nobody’s business. And who does his local shop order from when Billy needs something for his bike? Hawley! By the way, Billy’s dog can’t read (just to avoid confusion)….

It’s a slow, dog-dangling Friday afternoon but that doesn’t mean we can’t show you the new and somewhat exciting plum purple hoodie from Scandinavian geniuses, CRAFT! With Andy out of town on Storck related business, Brittknee demanded some “sweet precious blog time”. Since our mannequin is MIA, we killed two birds with stone and acquiesced [...]

Dave and Brian Taiwan update:“Hi Guy!Day 3 in Taiwan and I gotta tell ya, I’ve never had so much coffee! After a quick meeting with Ritchey and then a tour of a factory that makes edible saddles, I strapped myself into my new coffee assimilation harness. It frees up the kidneys and belly for coffee [...]
