The Story of Stuff

6 12 2008

This is indirectly related to bikes, but well-deserving of a plug. This informational video is more educational and observant than anything I’ve seen in years. It also looks to be good for any kind of reader.

“From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.”

  • Fresh Gear: Sunline V1 handlebars 11, November, 2009
    More and more riders are making the switch to wider bars these days. Widths in the 29-30+ range are becoming more and more common. Wider grip= additional leverage in turns, making for a highly rail-able experience. I tried my first pair of 29.5″ bars last year, when I got a bar in from Nemesis Project for [...]
  • Riding Glasses on the cheap 11, November, 2009
    For most of the year I have been digging and building trail while using my super fancy Specialized photochromic Chicane glasses. They are super sweet riding glasses, and my favorite riding glasses by far to date. However, at $140 retail, they are a bit pricey to abuse while I’m hacking away in the dirt. So [...]
  • Secret NW Trails: Long View, Washington 10, November, 2009
    Finding new spots to ride is always cool. One of the best things about being back in the northwest after a prolonged absence, is that a number of new places to ride have sprung up. We’ve lost some places too, but I’m all for celebrating the spots we have and working towards making the old [...]
