Thick, bulky, leather — or worse, velcro — wallets are so passé. Minimalist is the way to go. Your back, butt, and bank roll will thank you.

There is no shortage of things you can make out of old bicycle tubes. Though the inner tubes are being reused in so many clever ways, there are not a lot of creative things being done with the old bike tires themselves. Enter Bicycle Belts. See how one Florida firefighter is changing the face of fashion and of cycling by re-using old bike tires.
Clever nature and outdoor living advertisements are the last thing you’d expect from a company known chiefly for its chainsaws, but that is exactly what Stihl has done. As a matter of fact, Stihl has some very deep environmental roots — and I’m talking California Redwood deep roots. Stay tuned for that full story. In [...]
