Trends aren't on social media; they're in bowling, bluegrass, and bikes.
My bike lately is a Hunter Cargo Bike. The front end is extended with a rod.
It makes hauling beer cartons or bowling gear easy, and it doesn't feel much different from riding a normal mountain bike. By the way, I’ve swapped out the internal 8-speed assembly twice, but it’s been running great recently. If the price has come down, I’d recommend it. (Hey Shimano, send me one!)
I'm trend-setting here because I think it would be interesting if the vibe changed as more modern utility bikes appeared in the city.
Though it is a bit of a hassle to get stared at all the time.
I’ve been re-reading this a lot lately. I feel a sympathy for him, with his style reminiscent of "Hear the Wind Sing" (my first love) or "South of the Border, West of the Sun." His recent metaphors feel a bit distant to me, so for now, it suits me better to listen carefully to his actual voice. And while I reaffirm the importance of digging a well, I remind myself that going back is the harder part.
I’m saved by the fact that he exists.
Furthermore, our Tailored section has been lively lately.
Wonderful items created by wonderful people who move their hands, use their heads, and follow their hearts.
Top right is Strawfoot from Santa Cruz. Garrett is a genius. He’s Rick Hunter’s friend. Birds of a feather flock together. That expression—you can only get that made there. There’s just no way to replicate it. That’s why you want it. I’m a greedy person.
Below that is Cleverhood, which comes from Rhode Island. I’ve never been there, but it feels like it has a Great Gatsby-esque scent to it. You’d be hard-pressed to find a poncho that is this much about Form & Function. Maybe the best way is to just hop on your bike, go to a rainy festival, and throw this on. At night, the check pattern really glows.
Next to that is TRUCE. They were in France last week, sailing yachts and surfing. By the way, the most advanced high-tech materials are said to be those related to the sea. After all, your life depends on them. When such stylish sea-men further apply their brains and hands to create things, those things gain an aura. This is the truth. I surrender to the details; they’ve completely won me over. This is the truth.
And QuocPham is Design From London. They’re manufactured in the same factory as GIRO. I’m sure many people think these would be good for formal use, right? In reality, if it were me, I’d want to wear them in an overwhelmingly casual way. Something like short-length shorts and a collared shirt, wearing them barefoot. Wear these with a plain white T, a pair of 501s or SWRVE pants, ride a single-speed bike like crazy, and dash into a coffee shop. You punk-spirited folks will definitely be popular.
With that, I hope you all enjoy your rainy season delusions.
