Bobbles and Trinkets

First of all. There is the small matter of THIS:

It’s the new logo with new colors and new font. Learn it, love it, tattoo it all over your body and receive a 4 percent shipping discount on all orders over $4,699.00. Read the official press release at Bicycle Retailer Online (BRO) then burn your neighbor’s house down. BURN IT TO THE GROUND.

Also, just noticed a tweet from our friends at Defeet socks this morning:

It’s good to see our friends at Defeet are in the beehive state and more specifically, the territory of our outside sales rep John Eighmey. The Blog’s funny bone was tickled by the odd disjunction between “invade” (as in Mongols) and “Please say hello!” One can only imagine… “Puny insects of outlying Roman territories. I am Ghengis Khan and tomorrow morning, most likely around nine thirty, depends on traffic and such, I’ll be cutting a swath of destruction, ruination and slaughter the likes of which you have never seen. No one shall be spared. Please come out and say hello! That is all.” Just found it funny, that’s all.
