  • Introducing Shwood Eyewear

    Blame it on the Bay Area downpours or being inside for two days (though Alt Summit is a wonderfully design-filled place to be indoors), but when Ignite Bay Area co-founder Carmel Hagen turned me onto Shwood Eyewear I couldn’t even wait to interview the creators before posting. I do love a good pair of wooden [...]

  • No Wheels Needed >> nada bikes

    The promise of “no oil | no gears | no bullshit” had me intrigued by nada bikes (if only they could share that promise with vintage Vespa dealers). Marc O’Brien and his team construct unpainted fixed gear and single speed frames in Half Moon Bay, then offer them in three sizes at $100 a pop [...]

Their exercise in “fashion philanthropy,” which includes ad agency creative director Matheiken wearing [...]

  • Masuelli Bikes

    I’ve seen more than my share of folding and alternative material bicycles (the life of an insomniac online is very chic), and they’re good-looking for the most part. But Masuelli Bikes’ single speeds really caught my eye at the SF Bike Expo this weekend, not because they’re made of bamboo but because they’re lovingly planned [...]
