Featured and Flattered!

Today the Bike Burrito is featured on Sweet Greens, a great blog with lots of goodies to check out. I'm so thrilled!

"Does your guy love to ride his bike? Why not stuff his sock with a Medium Bike Burrito from Bike Burrito. A Bike Burrito is a funky twist on the classic bike tool kit. It is designed to carry all of his essentials in style. This would be perfect for Mr. Sweet Greens, he loves to ride his bike to work."

I'll be working my butt off this weekend so I can get some new things in the Etsy Shop before the holidays. Keep an eye out!

Wanted: Bike Burrito Thief!

A customer (and fellow LCI) of mine had his Bike Burrito stolen, right off of his bike!

Stealing is bad...don't do it!

In memory of Ron's BB, you will be missed.

Image above is not actually Ron's Burrito, but one very similar.

Interbike?! Don't drink Interbike!

This was my first year attending Interbike in Las Vegas, it was pretty great. We didn't arrive until Wednesday afternoon, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the free refreshments being handed out. I had my first PBR, too. It honestly wasn't that bad. Really! (It won a blue ribbon after all.)

I saw some bikes that I was curious about and settled on whether or not I was still into them. I have a Pashley Princess Sovereign and a Madsen Bucket Bike on my "to buy" list now...and this whole time I thought I was done buying bicycles. =) Although, I will be selling my Xtracycle in order to get the Madsen, I can't fit both in the garage, especially with Dominics Cetma Cargo on it's way.

So, if you or anyone you know is interested in a practically brand new Xtracycle (bike included!), I've got one. I'll give you the specs and pictures once I've made my way down to the garage.

Now...to build more Burritos!

My spicy army and pudding

No pudding at all really, but I didn't know what else to say.

The Wet Burritos have been doing well and I can't seem to keep them in the shop for very long, this is a good thing! I'm happy about that and I'll be getting more of them (along with many other varieties) in the shop this weekend.


Today we took a trip to our local delicious beverage distributor to pick up some more of the mini Tabascos that complete the Bike Burrito image and make my customers chuckle...and much to my surprise, they were on sale, wowie! My favorite! I bought em' up and they're getting ready to go off into different directions and let me tell you, they are excited. So if you've noticed a slight delay in your Bike Burrito processing time, this is why, the Tabasco is now in the house...and I can't send out a Bike Burrito without one, it's like...a unicorn without it's horn. It's just not a unicorn anymore. Basically, a Bike Burrito isn't a unicorn without it's Tabasco.


On to other things. I'm most definitely an advocate for supporting local crafters and just crafters in general...but man, I am a sucker for bicycle prints. Even if they are at Nordstrom Rack, which is okay because it was less than half the original price, right?! Okay, there's slight buyers remorse, but not much. =) I managed to stumble upon this really fantastic Lesportsac bag with multicolored and multibikes all over it! It's the perfect size for a carry on bag since on September 23rd we'll be flying to Las Vegas to attend this years Interbike. It'll also be my first plane ride. Great.

I'm also looking for another supplier for my nylon straps. My current supplier has decided to brand theirs with a huge logo, which isn't appealing to me and/or possibly everyone else. I might share to them how I feel while at Interbike. So if you know a friend who has a friend...you know, I need more nylon straps.

p.s. I also have 99 sales on Etsy! Hot damn! Maybe I'll do something special for the 100th sale. Hmm...
