Molly rode the East Bay Tweed ride. Check their website for the next Bay Area ride. Thanks Colin!
Nan hauls Isaac Rodriguez’s (Cycles of Change) rig to the new tailor studio in the old Ride SFO space on Peralta in West Oakland. About 15 trips using three rigs did the job. See Pamela Palma’s (Bicigirl) and B. Spoke Tailor pics of the move on Flickr.
Andrew Di Pietro posted this pic to Flickr a while back. It is a favorite pic of the knicks! Where are you, Andrew?
These are one of the first pair of B. Spoke Tailor wool knickers (then JoyRider Clothing). Paul Musso and I collaborated back in summer 2007 to create the original design.
