Strawfoot is one of those companies that has gained a lot of momentum over the past year in the cycling industry because of social media and word of mouth. While Strawfoot is a bag company, they’re most known for their socks. I was first introduced to Garrett from Brian Vernor last year, when I visited his small shop in Santa Cruz.

Over the past few months, Strawfoot has grown. They’ve moved to a bigger shop, are sponsoring a cross team and yes, he’s continued making socks, which sell out almost immediately…

Velo Cult: The Cult is Alive in Brooklyn

Velo Cult‘s one of those shops. You know the kind. The shops with oodles of vintage cycles, from all eras, just hanging around. They’re into fixed gears and touring too (oh my!); one of those shops that hits on everything cycling related and supports the communities by documenting each with beautiful photographs on their blog. They just get it. Even their branding and website is spot-fucking-on.

Case in point; their wool jerseys. I’ve posted about them before and I’ve finally got my hands on one.
