my mojito is getting on in age and i was deliberating what to replace it with but they’re pretty decent and i’d buy another. leather chinstrap probably isn’t vegan friendly ---

i was looking at POC octals but they’re like 0.3 bongs and i think i’d look too much like a road jock. i got an abnormally large head and kask fits better than the giro i had previously ---

At one point product listings for Kask helmets said that some models used “eco-leather”, whch sounded as if it might not be animal derived. It piqued my interest, but I made the recent and bad choice of a Catlike helmet, so I’m not really paying close attention to what’s on the market right now. ---

I just got a lazer z1. It is very breathy. Last I talked to a giro rep they are leaving vista ASAP. REI dumping them is killing them. But since it’s a sale of a brand valued over 100 million I’d imagine it will take 12-16 months to sell. And the best we can hope for from Marin Bikes is that they change the name of the bike next year. Admitting they messed up will cost them money I bet they just don’t have. ---

re: Marin, they could change the name on their marketing assets and print stickers that cover the existing branding and say “end the prison industrial complex” if they were so inclined ---

Theres such a broad range of responses. Seems weird to swing back and forth between I dont care whatever and well what are you doing? Most times there isnt much to do about something or there is but its doubtful small things will change. But I think it does harm to express apathy.
