Surly Bikes
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is sponsoring its third Bike Night At The MIA next Thursday, July 21. They are inviting you, the cycling public, into their home to bask in their amazing collections of art and artifacts and to partake in bicycle themed art related activities. It's a good time. And Surly's giving away a bike. You could win! But you probably won't.
And the MIA's Bike Night is also the launch of the MPLS leg of the Bicycle Film Fest, of which Surly is also a sponsor. Films start showing at the MIA that night, then the fest moves, if I am not mistaken (though I often am), to St. Anthony for the remainder of its stay. Like bikes? Like films? Like films about bikes? OK then.
Wend magazine, longtime friend of Surly Bikes and Intergalactic Dog Grooming, offers readers content written in narative form by the people living what they''re writing about. Over the years they have run several stories written by people using bikes, and many of those stories have involved Surly bicycles as their chosen mode of transportation. The latest issue is no different. Staffer Rick Olson takes his Big Dummy, complete with upturned drop bars, on a tour of national parks. Find that story somewhere in here.
Lastly, in a heretofore unthinkable blaze of capitalistic productivity, Surly has yet another tshirt design:
They are available in red, both mens and womens versions. So if you're so inclined you can get some of that. Go ask at your local shop. They'll have no idea what you're talking about, so ask them to please order you one from the following part numbers: Mens, S-XL: CL6806-CL6809. Womens, S-XL (sorry T, no XS at this time): CL6801-CL6804
By the way, this is Andy, the guy who makes many of our shirt designs. Perhaps it helps explain things, or perhaps it just confuses you even more. Either way is fine by me.
