Cool Treats, Hot Trike.

20160615-alex-1

Several months ago we made friends with the proprietor at Xian Cao Mi (仙草宓) an awesome chain of shops that make delicious Taiwanese treats. We chatted at length about bikes naturally. He was a big fan some of our previous projects including the beer trike we put together for Lazy Pug last summer. Being a big part of the food and beverage community here in Chengdu, he was hip to a number of other awesome little shops looking to get into vending by trike.  Read more

Why we do the FNR.

20160520-fnr-1

Easily one of our most popular events is a bi-weekly night ride.  It’s slow and accessible for all types of riders.  We’ll utilize our cargo bike, converting it into a mobile stereo complete with self-contained 800W speaker system.  It’s insanely loud. Enough so to render the rider isolated, unable to hold a conversation with the throng of riders around.

We’ve hosted this particular ride, without fail for over three years now, rain or shine.  Lately we’ve used it as a tool for collaboration.  Through it we’re able to offer our friends and community the chance to explore new places in the city all the while supporting other businesses in town.  This is beside the primary fact that this ride is good, old-fashioned fun.  Read more

There’s an old saying.  You can’t afford to buy anything cheap.  The meaning is very straightforward.  The extra cost of maintaining, fixing and regularly replacing some cheap broken thing is greater than just spending the extra on something of quality from the start.
