Pretty Bikes By Madsen
by director on Jul.08, 2009, under Administrative
I admit it. I love the bicycles by Madsen, because they’re pretty. I love the lines of them, and the colors seem nice… wait a minute. The colors of the web site are nice, and the people riding on the bicycles are pretty, but what about the bikes?
The bicycles are pretty expensive actually, ranging from 1,000 dollars on up. Of course, these bicycles include the trailer parts, built in. Bicycle trailers are expensive in and of themselves, so maybe the Madsen bicycles aren’t so expensive.
But then, the Madsen bikes are awfully long, what with the built-in trailer portions, and that extra length doesn’t appear to be removable when one isn’t hauling kids or cargo. That’s kind of awkward.
I’m of two minds about these Madsen bicycles. Does anyone have any information that would sway me one way or another?
Unconventional Sources Rebooting
by director on Jan.29, 2009, under Administrative
In a fit of DIY, I did the Sources of Unconventional Sagacity blog in. Updates can cause takedowns.
I’m choosing to look at this as a chance for a reinvention-rededication for the site, along with a more functional redesign and a new, more simple name: Unconventional Sources.
Come back soon for more on this USFORRUSS renaissance.
