I recently met Orion, who runs the blog Pedal-Faster!—turns out we are nearly neighbors. He asked me to do a lettering treatment for his blog. So, here it is!

I Love My Bike video
A couple weeks ago Jamie (Print Brigade co-owner) and I spent a couple days in New Haven to film a little promo edit for some of the bike-centric Print Brigade shirts, including the I Love My Bike shirt (for the I Love My Bike book). The video consists of me cruising around the city, having fun on two of my bikes—All-City Dropout, fixed-gear and FBM Joint 2, BMX. Jamie worked some magic with the clips we got, check it out!

All My Bikes: 26, AllCity Dropout
At the moment, I have three complete bikes that I ride on a regular basis. The All-City Dropout is my current all-around, everyday bike. I was a big fan of the Dropout from the first time I saw a sneak preview on the internet. Here’s All-City’s description: The Dropout is a platform for pretty much anything you want to do that involves big wheels and hard riding. It can handle trails, jumps, hardcourt, messengering, whatever. Ride it for transport, ride it for tricks, or do tricks while riding it for transport, or ride long distances between doing tricks… you get the idea. The only limit is your creativity. Sounds perfect to me! I was lucky enough to snag one of the limited edition frames that has no brake mounts or other braze-ons. The Dropout is definitely one of my favorite bikes ever.

All My Bikes: 17, Kilo TT
After a couple years on a conversion I really wanted an actual track bike. The problem was—yup, you guessed it—money. I was the perfect prey for that big, online-only shop selling very inexpensive complete bikes. Basically, the anti-local bike shop. I know, I know—I feel guilty. The components that came on the Kilo TT were awful, but what can you expect for the price? The frame however felt amazing after switching from a 30 year old, touring frame. Once I picked up some new wheels and swapped out the flexing stem, the Kilo was a solid ride. My friend Matt painted it for me in his autobody shop. Plum-crazy purple matched with lime-green deep-v rims. This over-the-top color combo (and it’s size) earned the bike the nickname, “The Hulk.” Maybe that is why my current bikes are all black.
