The birth of a T-shirt

Just this past weekend a whole new set of t-shirts were born in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. We’ll soon be shipping out the M-XL 53 Miles Per Burrito shirts that have been out of stock for way too long, as well as the un-goofed $0.00 9/10ths design in both gray and blue!
Back in October, when [...]

ZPG – The Next Generation

Many of us have engorged ourselves on the trimmings of the season and the year is finally at an end. 2009 kind of stuck it to a lot of people, many close to me, so I can’t say I’m sad to see it go. 2010 marks a new beginning for a lot of things, including [...]

Tees have arrived

Welp, the new tee’s are in, and there are some really good deals to be had. First of all, to celebrate our ridding of Zazzle, the first ten people to pick up a 53 Miles Per Burrito shirt will get a free ZPG patch included. They’re freakin awesome, and you’d normally have to drop five [...]

Introducing I [crash] PDX!

Hey there Portland! We know you guys have some pretty gnarly streetcar tracks, too. And considering the massive amount of rainfall you guys get, those slippery buggers sound like a nightmare, not to mention the crocodiles waiting on the roadside for hapless cyclists.  So when Powell’s Books asked us why we didn’t just print up [...]

Zazzle’s Gettin’ Dropped

Let’s face it. Zazzle’s not the ideal solution for ZPG. If you’re fortunate to be near a ZPG dealer you can just go and buy one of their fabulous shirts for a mere $20 + applicable taxes. But a lot of you folks aren’t near any ZPG retailers. So you suffer and pay some god-awful [...]

An interview with Kit Kohler, the new Chief Executive Presidente Extraordinaire of Zero Per Gallon

As most of you know, I’m leaving on a crusade to rid the world of Sea Goats. As such, I’ve sold Zero Per Gallon, and I couldn’t be more excited about the new guy taking the helm of ZPG. He’s not old! He’s not fat! He’s not boring! And not excessively hairy!
OK, that’s understating things. [...]

All you naysayers can spend $6 and read my riotous words

Here’s another teaser (without the vowels removed):

This week in goat/bike news

After my brush with catastrophe three weeks ago, a lot of friends wrote to me to help me metaphorically lick my wounds. Thad suggested I was immortal. Jon sent me some music. Julie said she’d send cookies and whiskey. Ethan told me to hang in there, Lydia wrote me a poem, Ben expressed consolation for [...]

a weekend full of bike love

Twas a weekend of bike-related fun… On Saturday, 150 people came out and rode in the 3rd annual Supermarket Street Sweep, and ended up collecting circa 2,000 pounds of food for the San Francisco Food Bank. Just before 4pm, Dave rolled in with 586 cans of food on his bike trailer, and 5 minutes later, [...]

half the price and twice as cool

A friend just alerted me to a duo of Australian designers called Snack On (you can tell they’re Aussies because they spell kilometers “kilometres,” and their names are Bjorn and Surya: Aussie names if I ever heard ‘em) who are selling belts made from inner tubes. Here’s the thing, though: they cost $40 (55 Australian [...]
