Dr gordon & Mrs Fink Conveniently, the 1926 novel ‘Dr Gordon and Mrs Fink’s Ride to Darkness’ contains the following product description:
And with that he reached into the soft leather gloves and engaged each clasp. Drawing his hands to his face he checked his ten fingertips as if to verify that he was in fact the same man as before and not, as he feared, the troublesome and allegedly murderous Mrs Fink. With fingers free to be themselves, he slung his bag over his shoulder, checked his lights, and as he rolled off into the night he thought, 'Bronwyn will be mine by dawn.' Inconveniently, apart from that bit, it’s a bit of a crap book... Oh, and predictably Mrs Fink ensures buxom Bronwyn doesn’t make it past the next page.

Chances are, some famous, turtle-necked philosopher probably once said something like ‘Do nothing and you get nothing – but do something and you‘ll evolve, learn, invent and throw-up over your handlebars.’ Wise words. Well, sans turtle-neck, the KNOG N.E.R.D.s are DOING SOMETHING – in fact they’re doing just about everything you could ever imagine doing on 2 wheels, and despite having fallen out with the car from Knight Rider, they’ve gone a long way towards reinventing the way we go about having fun on our pushie pals.

I had an uncle who wore a cape because he said Gekkos would fall from the stars and try to eat his knitwear. Eventually he realised if he didn’t wear such trendy knits, he could also ditch the cape and save the Gekkos the trip. My uncle’s bravery gave rise to the 3-LED, 6-colour Knog Gekko and the interplanetary war between knitwear and Gekko continues to this day.

Did you know that most bullfrogs actually improve their banjo playing when they’re boozed up on whiskey? Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for their bike riding skills. That’s why we made a robust, 5-LED bike-light, to help them light the way along those dangerous New Orleans riverbanks. So now they’re living longer and getting flashed-at more regularly during Mardi-Gras.

Statistically speaking, it’s dark for a long time. Just think of all that night-time you need to fill every single day! And if you’re not into Fox-Holin’ (looking for rabbits in fox holes) or Bunny-Burrowin’ (hiding foxes in rabbit burrows) things can get pretty boring. That is unless you’re the type who likes casting shadows on walls. We suggest particularly strong lights and particularly lewd imaginations - because as the saying goes: ‘i've seen a cock crow but never a monkey spank'.

Hey, just a warning: if you’re prone to megalomania (or you’re a bit of a prick) then avoid hooking up a 605. Most people can handle the gallons o’ light being pumped out and dig the ability to see way ahead during dark times on bright nights. But some people (you know who you are) flick the switch, get hooked on the power, develop a manic laugh, froth at the mouth, enlist a private army and try to create an empire in their vision. We don’t need any more letters from angry mothers.

We did an analysis of the standard New York hotdog and found that it contained the following: sawdust, ipods, water bottles, pork, attitude, subway tickets. Inspired by the startling variation of all this, a mighty bag was designed in its honour. It can take everything you’d find in a New York hotdog and also looks good topped with chilli, cheese and mustard.

Don’t be put off by the ‘Neat’ connotation. Sure this Dog thinks that there’s a place for everything, pays its bills on time, doesn’t leave stuff to fester in the sink… But, here’s the kicker – it also packs eight bottles of vodka inside its pannier sack; and it doesn’t take too long for them to empty. Then it’s a three hour mission to get some black-market scotch, a dirty sunrise and, finally, falling into a hospitalcornered, freshly-laundered bed. Arrive at your destination flat pressed. The NEAT DOG is the suit bag for your ride.
The Rackless Dogs lend themselves to slow-witted people who like to make lewd jokes. “Nice rack” would be an example of one, although it might be hard to know if the joker is talking about your chest or the easy and secure clip and go threepoint attachment system. OK, you’re right, they’re probably talking about both.

theRackless boxer pannier and backpack
I had this dream where a highway robber with a bum for a face handed me a Knog Boxer. “Wow, a rackless pannier bag that converts to a backpack” but before I could thank him, the ass-bandit pissed off over a nearby hill. I realized I was about to wake up, so gripped my Boxer tightly in the hope that I could bring it back to the real world, but upon waking found all I was holding were my genitals. What does it all mean? Simple - the Boxer is your most powerful appendage.

The reason why a lot of Dutch folks seem arrogant is because they’re just so darn good at everything. Take the Dutch Dog, it’s a stylish quick-fit, nononsense pannier bag. It does everything it promises without raising a sweat and has found that elusive work-life balance. OK, you’re right, that is pretty arrogant.

Let’s cut the crap: The Fonz did not wear a rugged polyester hard-wearing jacket. When he clicked his fingers to pick up a lady or knocked the jukebox to pick up a tune, the man was looking good in leather.

Washing day had always been such a chore waiting around for hours on end, flicking through old magazines with halfcompleted crosswords and scribbled beards on celebrities. Sarah had longed for a better way to spend her time. That is, until she found someone who shared her same concern. Things didn’t always reach the tumble dry stage but it was worth making the weekly trip for the warm hand wash alone.

One day some kids found a treasure map. They followed it, and after a number of mildly amusing adventures (one of which featuring not one, but two ghosts) finally discovered the bounty. “Gloves,” they disappointingly moaned before one of the ghosts return to explain that these gloves had gel padding, were built to last and were perfect for long rides. They remain disillusioned by the whole endeavour.

Ok, so an Englishman, an Irishman and an Aussie walk into a bar. They look over to this girl sitting at the bar and ask “Hey, aren’t you Niki Fisher, cross country racer and designer?” “Yes I am!” Replies the girl. Pretty funny, huh? The four spent the rest of the night hearing stories of Niki’s company, Design by Peppi, and her adventures at the Mountain Bike World Championships in 2005, before the Englishman got caught looking down her top and things got really awkward.

Now we all know old people scare little kids. Just like religion scares problem gamblers and little people scare elephants - these are all givens. But what you might not yet know is that fixed gear fanatics, like our buddies Cycle Jerks, love drinking beer, riding blind and getting huge tattoos of immoral women holding dirty cutlery – it’s just a fact of life. They’re also scared of little people but they’re learning to live with it.
§ s r o s n o p S There are a lot of people out there that get turned on by serious cross-country riding.
It’s a bit like a cup of chai poured over a scoop of vanilla’s best. Cause, the fact is these same people are going to have a serious case of 10-day-bonersitis when they find out about our pals at Troupe Racing Company. While they’re going hard, fast and getting dirty their ‘devoted fans’ are doing the same. Is that wrong? Who are we to say? But remember, when the racing is over we can all ride away and frisk each other in that jacuzzi we’ve always dreamed about.
