Karl Gesslein / February 6, 2017 Time to put on the tin foil hats as we venture into the next chapter in human de-evolution. First, some quick acronyms that are pretty common in the prepper community. SHTF – Sh!t Hits The Fan FEMA – Foolishly Expecting Meaningful Aid WROL – Without Rule Of Law The latest turn in events in American politics has the conservatives laughing a good hearty laugh whilst flipping off the liberals. Meanwhile, endless streams of peace-loving hippies line up at the local firearms dealers to start stockpiling guns and ammo. At this point anyone who thinks that our beloved...

Karl Gesslein / September 24, 2017 Two years ago I started writing an article called “Why do they hate us ? Ebikes vs Bikers” but I never finished it. Several weeks ago I stumbled across this article on Singletracks.com entitled “Ebikes are the spawn of Satan, mostly“. The article is extremely divisive and I finally decided it was about time that I wrote some kind of response to all the ebike haters out there.

They simply could not survive the fallout from that situation. Forever henceforth they...

Karl Gesslein / July 20, 2015 A refined ride for a discriminating fat-bike enthusiast…not a hooligan bike. Got a chance to demo the Felt LEBOWSKe today. I rode it around on some pavement and through the grass, over some big roots and up and down a few small hills. By no stretch of the imagination did I actually ride the kind of single-track I am used to thrashing my $1000 electric fat-bikes on, but I feel like I did get a good idea of what the LEBOWSKe could do.   You can easily fit a 5″ tire in the rear. I wasn’t crazy about...
