Bike Jerks is our life
Well at least mine anyway,
I've always struggled with what to put in this section.
What is the pertinent information that you need to know about BikeJerks to understand what it is that I am trying to do?
I guess the most valid piece of information I can give you is that I like to design and make things, so I do. I also happen to love alleycat racing so I organize the All City Championship every year here in MPLS. The ACC is one of the biggest races in the country and has evolved into an entire bike party weekend. I also organize Track or Treat and a number of other races throughout the year. Basically, Bike Jerks is a platform to do the things we want to do. We also try to sponsor as many races as we can afford.
We have been around since 2005 and are based out of Minneapolis.
We believe that this is a special time to be a cyclist, we are growing in numbers, political clout, and creativity. This is more than a hobby, it is our life and work.
People always talk about how great the past was, but we'll never have the past, all we have is now. This is our golden age, this is our time, this is classic cycling.
Clothing, Hats, and Parts:
I make custom one of a kind things using the least amount of machinery and equipment possible. Each garment is unique and slightly different. They are made by hand and it shows. They are not perfect, or uniform. The lack of equipment was once a financial necessity and has now become an aesthetic choice. Relying only on eyes and experience is a concept that I still find romantic.
I only use water based inks because they do not require any solvents and are much more user and earth friendly. I also dye all my own hats and shirts, the dye is also water based and tends to fade a bit over time. I like things that show their age and break in. Believe me, it is my goal to get you something that you'll love and want to own for years.
Because i make the shirt or hat after you order it, I am happy to do custom work. You pick the design, the placement, and the ink color. Just send me an email letting me know what you want, and i'll do my best to make it for you.
Policies:
If you're not satisfied, let me know and we'll work something out. Unless you're a total dick about it, we'll find an equitable solution to whatever your woes are.
I use recycled packing materials whenever possible, and prefer to ship USPS. this is because they are probably going to your address anyway. let them deliver the package. UPS and FedEx make a special trip to your address, wasting resources.
Local deliveries will be made by bike courier.
Thanks for visiting us.
Bike Jerks out.
