http://sclass.bostonbiker.org Mon, 24 Nov 2008 04:59:23 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've been on a mission since this past summer. A mission to pink out my bike. It's kind of an odd combination - a dark green Bianchi San Jose with pink handlebar tape, pink bottle cage, pink chain, and even pink toe straps. A watermelon bike. Don't get me wrong, I've ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/11/24/little-pink-presents/ I had a post all planned out. It wasn't about hats, or even biking, really, but there was a plan. And then this happened. I wasn't really surprised though. It had been about 4 months since I last crashed, which meant I was about 4 months overdue for one of these. The ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/11/10/expecting-the-unexpected/ This is what I've been doing lately. I've been buried under piles and piles of papers. I even spent a good five hours of Halloween in the library (but hey, there was candy corn). And it's been getting cold - maybe a little too cold for hats that don't cover ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/11/01/excuses-excuses/ While I've never been masochistic enough to get on a pair of rollers, head to head with another person, and pedal like crazy for one full minute, I still feel an obligation to contribute/reward those who choose to engage in such behavior. Which is why two s*class hats will be ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/10/19/boldsprints/ A few weeks ago, just when I started playing around with the whole idea of actually selling these hats, I got an interesting email. The story went like this: Guy wants a hat. Guy got his bike stolen. Guy offers a MS Paint masterpiece of his bike (pictured above) in ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/09/21/pictures-promised/ I passed a chipmunk the today that had been perfectly smushed against the pavement. Well, I passed it a few days in a row now (it's on my commute) and as gross as it is, I still tend to pass right by it. And I look at it. Like every ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/09/19/presents/ It happened - I have officially sold my first hat! Greg of SuffolkBikes contacted me about purchasing the "Attention, Please" hat and I was only too happy to drop it off in a brown paper bag in front of the Otherside Cafe. So here's Greg (and his bunny!) with his hat ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/09/15/first-official-sale/ While everyone seems to be firing up their grills and searing steaks, I've been planning an excursion to Super 88. What can I say? I'm craving Asian food like woah. Which might also be why I made this hat. The fabric seemed almost too Asian; but with Boston being a minority majority ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/08/31/minority-majority/ I don't deal well with public speaking. I'd really rather write the speech and have another person deliver it, take all the credit, and rise to fame/be promoted/be applauded. That's one reason why I started giving these hats away for free. I figured no one would part with money for these, ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/08/22/setting-up-shop/ There's always something to be said for the person who can turn heads when they enter a room, wearing something original and unique, forsaking the redundant look of designer jeans with polo or whatever top will maximize cleavage exposure while hiding that emerging beer gut. Not that this hat wouldn't go ... http://sclass.bostonbiker.org/2008/08/22/attention-please/
