Our accomplished endurance racer Evan Plews notched yet another victory on his Tranny last week in the Breck Epic stage race. You can read about the race here, but the important stats are 6 days, 240 miles, 37,000 feet of climbing!! I guess that makes it hard. Evan won EVERY STAGE in the Solo Single Speed [...]

The trade show season will be a little different for us this year. We’re still planning on attending Eurobike with many of our European distributors attending as well. What we’re not doing this year is attending Interbike, at least not indoor. We’ll have our bikes outdoor with some of our vendors and component partners, but [...]

We’re happy to report that Brian Lopes, riding a Mojo HD, won yesterday’s AirDH race on the world famous A-Line Downhill course up in Whistler. There’s a bit more to the story. A few years ago our very good mutual friend from Oakley, Steve Blick, played matchmaker and put Brian in touch with us to talk about [...]

If you’re not one of the 1.6 million people who have already watched this, here you go and you’re welcome. It’s a time lapse video of a guy walking across the country. A while ago I drove my ancient Ford pickup out to Utah. Looking for something to do I put my crappy little point and [...]

We can file this one under ‘doing the right thing’. We’ve teamed up with some of our friends and family in the South Bay Area (South of San Francisco we mean) and have donated a Tranny Bicycle (your choice of size and color) to benefit the good people at OrphanBaby. They are a non-profit group dedicated [...]

You can always tell a lot about the popularity of an event by how fast it sells out. Among the most coveted events that we know about is the All Mountain Race at the Downieville Classic. It usually sells out in minutes. We’re big fans and big supporters of this race, of Downieville, and of the [...]

This year we’re dramatically curtailing our presence at Interbike while at the same time increasing our presence elsewhere, and this should be good news if you want to ride one of our bikes. We’re smack dab in the middle of our Demo Tour right now, and we’ll be continuing this into October. There are two Mountain [...]

Today we have an interlude that has nothing to do with bikes. This is the real deal. How they do it in Italy. Coastal Tuscany. Castaneto Carducci. Last night. A few friends of Ibis getting together for dinner. We weren’t there but our shirt was. Thanks for the visuals Arnaud (not an Italian guy). This: Leads to this: And [...]

I know it’s an advert (as they say in the UK) but I like it.

The Geometry of Pasta from Pan Marketing on Vimeo. Who knew there was a book about the geometry of Pasta?

A friend pointed out an interesting story that ran in the SF Chron this week: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/crime/detail?blogid=144&entry_id=64903 I guess we have a serial mountain bike hater who has taken to vigilantism by attacking mountain bikers… A quick read of this guy’s C.V. (B.A. Magna cum Laude UC Berkeley in Mathematics, M.A. in Mathematics from Harvard, Ph.D. from UCLA in [...]

And totally unrelated to anything but cool none the less:

Here at long last are pictures of the Black Mojo HD graphics. We expect to start shipping in 4-6 weeks.

Check out this impressive graphic seen on ABC news this week, BP is way out in the lead! Click on the image to get to the report on Hulu, mainstream media actually reporting! Their little flower logo is looking a bit tainted these days. I’ve been thinking that boycotting these oil companies wouldn’t really accomplish anything because [...]

This Saturday is National Trail Day, so wherever you are, think about giving back a bit. Here’s one of our local favorite causes, the Downieville/Graeagle area.

We got a quick trip report this morning from our road warriors Aaron and Kirk. They’re driving driving driving today, but spent yesterday in the fine burg of Little Rock Arkansas. They (whoever they are) say Little Rock is a lot like Portland Oregon. Apparently the morning demo was washed out by rain, perhaps that’s what [...]

Here at the Ibis worldwide HQ we get a lot of email, often about experiences people have when they get a bike from us. Some are really good. One caught our eye recently, from a Mojo owner in Colorado name Toni. Here’s what she had to say: I look at myself as your outside sales [...]
