Smile, You’re On a Bike!

While enjoying a recreational ride this past week, had one of the more positive phrases yelled at me in passing.

What’s wrong with you? You’re on a bike, why aren’t you smiling?!

Which of course, made me smile.

PRESS RELEASE: Undisclosed Products

It has come to our attention that certain materials, textual and photographic in nature, have been circulating the internet in an attempt to disclose corporate secrets of ClankWorks. While we at Clank seek to be innovative with our products, our image and business plan are best suited to an impenetrable shroud of secrecy concerning future endeavors. To clear the confusion, you may see one example of the compromising materials below. This photo is included to show you exactly what you should not be paying attention to, so please disregard and forget about it immediately.

Rumors that this prototype was discovered attached to a bicycle outside of a beer garden in the bay area are clearly exaggerated, as we are based in Pittsburgh and there is no way that could happen. However, any staff member that may have been responsible will be dealt with swiftly.

While we will still refute that such a product exists, if it were to be released, it would be some time this summer, would perhaps be at a price-point of $79, and would be exclusive to AT&T, with the possibility of a Verizon model.

Please direct any future questions regarding such products to the comment system, or the contact page, so our public relations department can better assist you.

***Incase this makes no sense to you, read this over first.*

Many cyclists will brag that they can beat traffic on the street, and even more so when it comes to parking in dense urban environments. However, few could contest with the little girl in this video:

A great way to hopefully get a message across pretty quickly, these shirts have a pretty clear message.

You can pick one up over at MyORB.

cycle-fu

Stumbled across an entertaining headline in today’s blog checking that I couldn’t help but post here as well. We have often heard stories of various cycle and car rage related scuffles, but this seems to be the first in a long time that had some legitmacy behind it. An innocent cyclist witnesses a robbery, after which the would-be muggers took off on a scooter (which is another favorite mode of transport here at Clank). The cyclist stepped up with a calm dismount, after which the cycle is promptly thrown into the escaping thieves for quite a take down.
