Good Morning SuperForesters,

If you happen to be in NYC and want to take a gander at one of the new Wired stores that are popping up in time for the holidays, I just stumbled onto one on 18th St. between 5th and 6th Ave.

Took a picky or two:


Sexy Surround Sound Pod

The WaterMill by Element Four


Various eco-swag,
(including a Derringer hybrid cycle and a Brunton SolarRoll!)

It’s fun to look around, pick things up you’ve only seen online, see how things work.
I spend so much time with some products online, that to see them in person is strange somehow.

There’s got to be a word for that… The awkwardness inherent in a real life interaction with someone or something you only know from the web… What should we call that?

Uhhhhhh. Let’s think about it.

Thanks for your help,

Jackson

SFYNY’s got a man on the street in Los Angeles who went to Derringer Cycles with camera in tow.

Check out the bikes!







Ahhh, craftsmanship. And eco-friendly craftsmanship at that.

We’ve got a lovely video too!:

Again, a great big thanks to Scott Nathan for the snaps and viddy.
Because of your valiant reporting and commitment to high MPG good-funnery, you get the coveted SFNYC Good Person Award!

O.M.G.

When this site loaded and I saw the treasures within I almost dropped my Wacom pen.

Look at these beauties!

Derringer Cycles is a Los Angeles based company selling some truly sexy swag. Is it a motorcycle? Is it a bike? Who cares. It looks incredible and gets 100+ miles per gallon.

“From the white tires, manufactured without the use of carbon black, to the hand made leather saddles with hammered copper rivets, each Derringer is a beautifully crafted objet d’ art. The finished product is a pure vintage racer, reimagined for a concrete jungle.”

We wantee!

I can just picture Team Superforest this Spring, the wind in our hair, the sun on our faces, and the hum of our environmentally excellent cycles beneath us as we rocket up the Westside Highway. Yumskins.

In L.A.? Need a great ride? Why not pay a visit to Derringer Cycles.

7954 1/2 3rd St.
Los Angeles, CA

Who said saving the environment had to be a hair shirt excercise? It can be exhilerating.

Special Thanks to Scott Nathan for hipping SFNYC to this.
