Last week, I made good on a long standing plan to continue my exploration of the Lake Michigan Shoreline, just north of where I left off on a trip in 2012. The plan was to explore the area north of Ludington to the river town of Manistee. Over the years, I’ve visited and written […]

Michael Kauk sent us six metric gnome tons of Krampus pixels the other day along with some spec’s for his Lavender? Lilac? Violet? Purple Singlespeed Krampus.

It’s been a month since we built our test Krampus that I named Thilver. I’m legally changing the bike’s name to Silver from this day forward. This bike is just too much of a bad ass to carry a comedic name. The Ride Big tires + wide bars + short stem = fast, confidence inspiring, fun! […]
