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 [...]

The Ibis crew loves riding in Downieville, CA. Another place that we love riding is just over the hill from Downieville, in a little town called Graeagle. If you don’t know where we’re talking about, both of these places are sorta kinda close to Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The same crew [...]

Our friends at VTT magazine in France came out with the first cover shot of an HD. This shot is somewhere on a sweet ranch in Marin county, that’s Mark Weir and our French Distributor “Momo”, pretending they’re badass!

THE BIG IBIS ROAD TRIP V2.1 PART 1 IS UPON US. The Sprinter loaded with bikes is leaving the building soon, next week to be exact. The first round of trip will take our driver from Santa Cruz to San Diego to Denver to Little Rock to Atlanta to Boston and then back across the [...]
