Hold Fast Straps RULE!
Jul/30/2009
I fuckin’ love these straps! And let me tell you why. For one... there is NO parts to assemble. Seriously, have you ever took notice on how many damn parts are comprised in just ONE functional double strapped pedal? You have your toe clip, threaded bolts, washers, locknuts, toe strap, blah, blah, blah. Besides having a bunch parts to assemble... you also have to worry about wear and tear. With Hold Fast... you can kiss all that goodbye!
The mounting process only took a few minutes for both pedals. Though, I already had my Odyssey Twisted PC pedals notched-out which made the process even faster. Sizing and securing your feet to the straps was a breeze! With the adjustable velcro strap, you can pretty much ride in any shoe you like. Thin or bulky shoes... Hold Fast will have you feeling secured... and rest assured, there will be no more loose foot play. Also, ejecting your feet from the straps is just as easy as putting them in. Overall, I highly recommend them!
Thanks Rob for letting me experience these quality straps!
For The Love Of Cadence Double Toe Straps
Jul/29/2009
Being an avid rider... the one thing I complain about the most are toe straps. Finding inexpensive straps with integrity and longevity is a tough challenge. You can spend over $100 on Toshi doubles, but if you own more than 1 bike, it can be a huge headache and FINANCIALLY way too much for your wallet. Ultimately, you want the best for keeping you strapped to your bike, and even more so if you are riding in an urban environment.
I have tried many straps including both Soma vegan and leather doubles, and a assortment of vinyl and singles straps I could find on the market. They all run into the same problem, they either break or loosen up all the time. Neither malady you want happening when riding... right?
Enter Cadence Double Straps. These straps feel like true Toshi quality... at a much more affordable price! Riding these everyday to work, on errands or just out for a ride has been simply amazing. My feet feel secure to my pedals, I don't feel myself slipping around and when im forced to put any pressure on them... they hold tight! Nothing makes riding more fun than feeling safe... and feeling safe on a budget is even better. Dustin at Cadence always puts out well made and reliable products... and with these double toe straps... he makes no exception.
If you are in the market for new toe straps, I strongly recommend these to anyone. – Dan (Cult Classic SD)

Jul/23/2009
Resistant is a messenger bag company like no other. Shinich Kimura started the company after his other business, which is bicycle messenger service, got on track. As its name suggests, their bags are highly resistant as well as functional for the best use of working messengers in town.
“We design our products and all of them are hand-sewn by our staffs at the workshop in Tokyo, Japan. We are also hoping that our bags show Japanese quality." – Resistant

Jul/20/2009
Just a year ago, Atip Ouypron was struck by a truck and died on the morning of July 19, 2008. Its great to see him remembered with the support of those who rode with him... or just heard his name whispered.

Meta Bags
Jul/16/2009
There is no doubt that I have done my share of bag postings. Sadly, you can never judge a bag by a lifeless picture. But recently, Meta Bags sent me this monster bag of all bags! Seriously, this bag may be the best bag I have ever laid eyes on. Function and quality of this beast is SUPERB! There is compression straps for everything you can imagine. Even the main torso strap has a compression strap for that extra slack... no more twisting that slack around your strap. There is even a secret stash pocket that I didn’t even know about until Dom from Meta told me. The bag also features two large front pockets and one huge inner pocket. All I can say is good things about this bag. Expect Meta Bags will be a big contender in the bag industry... they deserve it! Two thumbs up... way up!
You will have a chance to win this bag at the Rose City Fix events on Aug 15th.
