So i’ve had this Chrome (citizen-medium) bag for about 6 months now and i feel its a good time to write a review, (rather than when you first receive a new item and try it out for a day).

The outer shell is some heavy duty polyester like material and the inside is a thick smooth tarp waterproof material or some shit, its not really gonna rip unless your carrying a bunch of razorblades or a machete out of its case (and if your doing that, you probably got bigger fish to fry than read some lame bag review).

Anyways, there is a ton of room inside, i can carry pants, shirt, hoodie, hat, camera, pump, tools, etc. and there is still plenty of room to put more stuff). The bag has two separate sections of space and front little pockets to put small stuff (wallet, phone, etc.). You can carry your bike tools (tubes, wrench, patch kit, etc. on one side and your clothes/whatever on the other. The shoulder strap is heavy duty and has some thick padding so its pretty comfortable even with heavy loads. Also on the strap is an old school seat belt buckle clasp with the Chrome logo which is waaay fooking cool man (that’s pretty much what sold me on it..it’s the little touches ya know). Considering your carrying a suitcase on your back, this mufuka ain’t gonna break and the chest strap stabilizes it very well. (When my bag is full i don’t want it to move!).

The c-note + feels kinda hard to part with at first but we all know you get what you pay for and the last thing i want to think about when i’m riding is shit in or falling out of my bag. All in all the bag is worth the dough, built like a tank and meant to last a long time.

memo: to city of LA

So i’m finally out of the Descanso Manor, a 1920’s brick brownstone that shoulda been condemned years ago. It has been affectionately referred to as a shithole by many including myself..many good times here, wrote alot of songs, did a ton of journaling and musically recorded some of the lowest fi acoustic tracks imaginable, drank a million beers on the roof looking at the high rises of downtown LA, and basically fell in love with the Eastside.
Rode all over the streets of Hollywood, the Eastside, the Westside and Downtown. Daytime rides, nighttime rides, solo rides at midnight on a Wednesday night, LA is a great fucking bike city for a bunch of car loving people and a beautiful place at 2 in the morning with no cars on the streets.
Was in the basement for 4 years, bars on the windows looking up to the sidewalk and on the 2nd floor for 1 year looking down on the murals and spray and wash car wash. No kitchen sink for 5 years and no gas in the stove for 1 year. Jeez i’m gonna miss this shithole! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well here you go -

Can you feel it happening!?

Moving to a new place in Silverlake! A whole 2 blocks away from the Manor and way nicer with more room and an actual kitchen sink and living room, WOW people have those? (end of an era!) Moving in with the baby, YAY. The moving part sucks (boxing up, lifting, going through old shiz) but once we get settled it will be rad! So many boxes, so much lifting…more time boxing means less time on the bikey. Lets get this done!

So we did a photoshoot with Alric, Melanie, Flav, Mike and Jessica for the site. I can’t thank you all enough! You know when you hear the saying “man i couldn’t have done it without you” well i really know that this is true. Thank you all!

I love the feeling of getting over a cold!

Why can’t we all just get along? To get a PBR tall boy, LMFAO!
