Sophie, our daughter, made her first bike!

She did it! Sophie, our super stellar daughter, helped with the design, mitering and filing tubes, braze-ons, welding (well, actually watched that part), prepping for paint, and building up the bike. That is pretty damn awesome for a 14 year old!! Way to go Sophie, we are super proud of you! Now go ride your bike.

The Christmas Unicycle

Off I went, to the post office, expecting to find a few bills, maybe a couple christmas cards. What I found instead was a package from E-bikes/Grin Technologies in Vancouver, BC. We receive packages through the mail fairly regularly. What was different this time was the picture on the outside of the box distinctly looked like a ….. unicycle. Nah. Couldn’t be.

Oh hell yes it was!! Sent from Justin and AnSo. Just a bit a background on these two crazy kids. They both run/own ebikes and Grin Technologies. Justin and AnSo visited us this summer on their E-bikes (electric assist bikes), riding from Vancouver to Quadra Island. Justin rode his electric bike across Canada a few years ago successfully completing the trip from British Columbia to New Brunswick. AnSo is a unicycle fiend. Sam recently saw her while he was mountain biking on the Sunshine Coast of BC. She rode her unicycle all the way there! From Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast!! and it was November!!!

Needless to say, we were stoked! A unicycle. A Nimbus unicycle. Now, I’ve never ridden a unicycle successfully before. By successfully I mean, stayed on for more than a milli-second. Sam’s attempts were more daring.

We finally have a unicycle. Woo! Thankyou to Justin and AnSo!

NEW WEBSITE!!

andrea — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:45:36 +0000

Phew! Here it is, our new website. There are a couple more pages that need to be added, but after the near death experience of our old website, we thought, it’s best to get this one up and out there. Many many thanks to Todd Heckeler of www.consumedesign.com . He is a website guru. If ever you need a web guy, he’s the man.

Seeing how we lost alot of our blog info from the old site, I thought the easiest way for people to catch up with where we are at is to check out the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Naked-Bicycles/369553210165

Lots of things to look at!

All our best for the New Year coming,
