The company is the brainchild of Adam <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">McDemott</span> and Chad <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kushner</span>, both South African natives. With just a handful of styles and colors, Linus keeps it simple, but detail isn't lost on them. Inspired by French styles from the ’50s and ’60s, the elegant new bicycles are very grown-up. The stream-line “roadster” (my personal favorite) features leather handle bars and saddle seat. Is it wrong that I want to buy every beautiful bike I see? They also recently came out with their own line of simple yet functional canvas accessories like double-sided farmers’ market bags and small pouches for keys and a wallet. So simple. So sweet. Go in for a test ride? Don’t mind if I do.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Cooper Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05996633616742944747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576263741665295934.post-80669212591711682122010-09-13T16:21:00.000-07:002010-09-13T23:42:27.829-07:00and i'm back!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpZ-oJjOWmvyoS8z7JABXoh8e6BqmgmEq4vLFssf1k-Ec4UfFCVGxvVRrM836CQ6Fh3iDkYeDm00YSBIjWfZNOh_rGOSNGxfdVFuKEdHa2WPo4vO2BFRAqgcSXMCXBiPx13aD20U8IsNc/s1600/008_4A.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpZ-oJjOWmvyoS8z7JABXoh8e6BqmgmEq4vLFssf1k-Ec4UfFCVGxvVRrM836CQ6Fh3iDkYeDm00YSBIjWfZNOh_rGOSNGxfdVFuKEdHa2WPo4vO2BFRAqgcSXMCXBiPx13aD20U8IsNc/s400/008_4A.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516654803027605970" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">So obviously I haven't posted in a long time, but that is mostly due to the fact that I was without i<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nternet</span> access all summer (a surprisingly freeing experience).
