I had the chance to see the Mission Workshop Division Chino pants at Interbike, and was really impressed. Pants are a tricky item for the cyclist, and many companies claim to make ones that work for the commuter. Without having tried them, but judging from Mission Workshop’s past product design, I believe these will be a cut above. They are made from Swiss-made Schoeller®-Dryskin Fabric with Nanosphere® water repellent treatment. The simple translation is that these pants will repel water, stretch in all the right places, and look good while doing so. I am thrilled to see this release from Mission Workshop.

For those looking for an exclusive bicycle with an exclusive price, Factor Bikes has launched its website. Now available direct, you too can buy the Factor Vis Vires pictured above for $13,332.50. Maybe not a bargain, but you’d be the only kid on the block with one.

Interesting project from Kobi Nakav.

This week is shaping up to be a great time to be in Los Angeles. In addition to tonight’s Vere Verto and Tomboy Style event at Shelter Half, there is a Red Wings event on Saturday night at Glory Sales and Service. During this event, you can purchase a pair of Red Wings and have them tattooed by Aaron Ladd Finnin and Dougie Mittz from True Tattoo. The event runs from 12noon to 7pm, with the tattooing happening from 4pm to 7pm.

There are new additions to the Levi’s Commuter Series, starting with the Type 2 Parka pictured above. Featuring high breathability and heat retention, this jacket should be perfect for all your commuting needs. It is also wind and waterproof to provide the ultimate in protection. There are plenty of additional features for the cyclist, but the bottom line is that Levi’s has been doing the commuter line for some time now, and it only gets better with each season.

Another great event is taking place this Thursday at Shelter Half. Featuring Tomboy Style and Vere Verto, this should be a fun night for all.

Abus makes some of the best locks on the market, and I’m sure the Abus U-Lock Mini is no exception. I’ll be testing one out in the next few weeks, and will report back with what I think. For the time being, check out the full range on Abus.com.

The Budnitz Model No. 3F (Special Edition) is so much fun. A future post will go into more detail, but for now, be aware I will be bombing around LA on this beauty.

Mostly Swiss issue of Peloton available now. One of the best yet.
