On June 10 Joseph Holway set off on his bike from New York. On July 1, he hit the West Coast. His mission was to deliver a bike jersey from the Search and State sewing room in the Garment District of Manhattan to Golden Saddle Cyclery in Los Angeles, a solo cross-country ride of more than 3,000 miles. The jersey, which was made in New York, was the first of its kind, so Search and State wanted to make sure it got taken care of. They decided to run a contest to find a bike messenger.

The road through Baja is vast, filled with adventure around every corner. High speed off road sections are pure fun when armed with the Surf Ride Ford Raptor, built for desert punishment and beach bound logistics.

But we’re “enthusiasts”; bike geeks. Some would say blinkered addicts, addicted to mountain biking, trail building, riding, and hanging out with other mountain bikers. Often caught up in an ecosystem of bike nerdery without much insight into the relative smallness of the mountain biking industry and its relative insignificance in the grand scheme of a global economy.
Times are a-changing though. The people who started riding in the 80’s and 90’s are now older. Often they have kids. They’re still riding; and they’re travelling to ride. Sometimes they travel with … More
Coco Ho hails from the North Shore of Oahu, a breathtaking stretch of coastline considered one of the surfing meccas of the world. It’s famous for its waves and clockwork winter swells that can reach 50 feet high, making it an ideal spot for swell-chasers. But given island-hopping’s summertime appeal, we asked the newly minted Los Cabos Open of Surf winner and youngest descendant of the Ho dynasty—father Michael Ho, uncle Derek Ho, and brother Mason Ho have all earned their place in the surfing annals—to offer some local insight into her hometown. We’ve got the best places to stay and what to do and eat on your next visit to Hawaii’s North Shore … More
