This is a Batavus “PERSONAL” delivery bike. It’s black, has one speed, a coaster brake, a kick stand, chain case, racks, and a dynamo lighting system. I discovered it in the basement of the Smith and Butler boutique in Carrol Gardens last October.

I am selling this bicycle because my therapist suggested I need to come to terms with my attraction to african-american women. No sister is going to date a 34 year old systems administrator riding a european grocery bike. However, when I would cruise slowly down Park Slope’s fifth avenue, panties would literally fly off of every white or asian woman with a stroller and a master’s degree.

I live in Williamsburg now and the bike confuses most of the women here. If I grow my moustache out a little and explain it only has one speed “like a fixie” I can sometimes get to second base. But for the most part I might as well have a soul patch and collect classic cameras. If you want to get some action I’d only take this baby out south of Atlantic Avenue.

Spring is coming and if you like flat-assed waspy moms who went to Vassar, this is the ride you need.

$300 O.B.O.

make, do with these pencil tips

RISD MFA Graphic Design’s graduating class has created a physical and virtual pop-up shop called RISD MAKE DO that will sell work related to our academic thesis process. The shop will be open at the graduate show from 20 May to 5 June and will sell original books, posters, tote bags, tshirts and more. There are plans this summer to travel to New York and other locations as well.

My favorite things at the shop thus far are Heather Phillips‘ ‘Pencil Tips.’ Heather has created a set of five pencils, each imprinted with a catchy graphic design phrase. Fun!

If you can’t make it to Providence, check it out online here or on their blog.

gym floor furniture

soren0012

Check out these cool cabinets made by Denmark-based ren Rose Studio.

The first incarnation of the line was created in 2008, utilizing recycled gym floorboards. Søren Rose Studio paired the familiar graphic lines of each board with a simple silhouette, creating a collection of unique modern pieces that pay homage to the materials’ original use.

Today, while mass-produced, the pieces continue to implement eco-friendly materials such as renewable pine, controlled Danish oak and water-based fixatives and varnishes. Gymnasium is sold globally by Mater and crafted by Denmark’s oldest cabinetmakers, Bruno Hansen Company.

Hyperactivitypography from A to Z is an activity book for typographers
illustrated in a nostalgic vintage style to give it a sweet and childlike look.
The book is packed with activities, ranging from silly to hard core nerdiness.
It’s great to test your skills on and to learn new things while having fun.
Who said typography had to be stiff and boring?

Look what just sprouted up from designer Hafsteinn Juliusson.

Designed for people in metropolitan areas, the Growing Necklace gives you the opportunity to take a little bit of greenery with you.

Like any plant, the necklace will need to be watered and nurtured. For best results water it only once every 4-5 weeks. If properly maintained, the moss can stay green for up to 8 - 12 months.

Growing Necklace is available here for $189. Also available as a ring.

Wave is a sleek door-hanging cardboard scratcher that looks more like modern art than a cat product. It is held together with compression, eliminating the need for any adhesive. This also allows you to easily replace the cardboard when it becomes worn. Simply remove the used cardboard pieces from the reusable aluminum frame and replace with a new cardboard refill. The anodized aluminum frame hangs from all styles of doorknobs and has a silicone doorknob protector.

Wave is available from the Moderncat Studio Etsy shop for $45 US and replacement cardboard can be ordered for $20.
